LEGUME BREEDING FOR RESISTANCE TO SOIL PATHOGENIC FUNGI
My research focuses on the study of plant-fungus soil pathogen interaction from the point of view of both the pathogen (pathogenesis mechanisms) and the host plant (resistance mechanisms). My main model of study is the pea-Fusarium oxysporum interaction. By applying multidisciplinary tools including histology, genetics and genomics approaches I seek to understand the infection and defense processes of legumes with the ultimate goal of crop improvement. My research also includes the implementation of genomic tools in legumes and cereals for the study of the genetic diversity of their populations, as well as the application of association studies (GWAS) and genomic selection (GS) to facilitate the improvement of these species.
