Research interests:
My main research interest is in the effects of environmental stress
on the photosynthetic and respiratory capacities of plants. At present,
at the University of Barcelona, I study the respiratory carbon metabolism
after photosynthesis in crops using 13C/12C isotope labelling. I'm
also interested in the effect of increase in drought and changes
in water availability (associated with the global climate change)
on the photosynthetic characteristics of Mediterranean vegetation
and crops grown in the field and in controlled environmental conditions.
This work has been focused on stomatal responses, carbohydrate metabolism
(Calvin cycle enzymes and end-product limitations), thylakoid electron
transport (photoinhibition and alternative electron sinks) and•
photosynthetic productivity. Also I have interest in the effects
of UV-B radiation (associated with the stratospheric ozone depletion)
on photosynthesis in crops and Mediterranean plants and the interactive
effects of this radiation with drought.
Current research projects:
IP: Improvement of native perennial forage plants for sustainability
of mediterranean farming systems (PERMED, INCO-CT-2004-509140)
IP: Management improvements of WNU and NUE of mediterranean strategic
crops- wheat and barley (WATNITMED, INCO-CT-2004-509107)
