The research group investigates the molecular and regulatory networks that control the development and diversification of the plant root system. By integrating approaches from developmental biology, evolution and development (evo-devo), physiology, and plant biotechnology, the lab explores how hormonal signals, microRNAs, and gene–environment interactions shape root formation, plasticity, and pattern variability—both across species and within a single species.

Fungi and arsenic. Tolerance and bioaccumulation by soil saprotrophic species

Increasing arsenic environmental concentrations are raising worldwide concern for its impacts on human health and ecosystem functionality. In order to cope with arsenic contamination, bioremediation using fungi can represent an efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective technological solution. Fungi can mitigate arsenic contamination through different mechanisms including bioaccumulation.
