Main research projects: Biotechnological applications to solution of environmental problems: monitoring genotoxic effects, higher plants for remediation. Application of molecular techniques to evaluation of genetic diversity and for traceability in food. Analysis of the molecular and genetic bases of genotype-environment interactions: heat shock, drought stress, nutritional stress. Analysis of isoenzyme profiles during catabolite repression in plant cell cultures. Identification of genetic markers linked to sexual differentiation in dioecious plants.
