The ability to recognize and respond to environmental signals is essential for plant survival, growth and productivity.
We are interested in dissecting the genic and epigenetic responses of plants to changes in the environment, driven by light quality, temperature and abiotic stress.
We focus primarily on developmental transitions, including photomorphogenesis and flowering time.
We work with a wide range of plant species, spanning from the model plant Arabidopsis, tomato, maize and cotton.
The main research topics of the GENADAPT LAB are the following:
- Genetic and epigenetic control of light and temperature perception.
- Role of chromatin remodellers in abiotic stress responses.
- Plant to Plant communication and the interaction with the environment.
- How water deficit and light signals are integrated to regulate flowering time and development
