Genomics of Plant Stress Unit

Overview

At GPlantS we aim to understand how different plants perceive and interact with the environment.

We are composed by three different labs which focus on complementary fields of plant biology, from genomic organization and variability to the regulation of gene expression and protein modifications, making use of a wide range of techniques, extending from bioinformatics, (epi)genomics, biochemistry, physiology, and biotechnology.

We aim to use this knowledge to improve stress tolerance and plant performance and make better use of the available resources to achieve improved and safer products (food/feed and forest-based).
