BRAIN‐STORMING IN PLANT BIOLOGY RESEARCH: LEARN TO DESIGN, TO PERFORM
AND TO DISSEMINATE YOUR OWN RESEARCH PROJECT ON THE BIOLOGY OF PLANTS
The research group (Antioxidants, Free Radicals and Nitric Oxide in Biotechnology, Food and Agriculture, ARNOBA) has been working last 15 years on the biochemistry and molecular biology of diverse crops, including pepper, tomato, pea, olive, letucce, rice, sunflower, among others. Our work has been focused on the study of the plant responses against different abiotic stress promoted by heavy metals, salinity, environmental factors, and in the ripening, post-harvest and nutritional features of fruits. Thus, part of our efforts have been addresed to the development of new culture techniques and post-harvest to improve the crop quality.
With the present project, we face a new challenge, so we will accomplish the molecular analysis of the different parts of pomegranate fruits, and how this produce may affect the human nutrition and health.
