This Group studies links between music and its social environment, positioning Hispanic repertory within the international context and within the framework of Digital Humanities, global music histories, and cultural history.

Archaeology of Social Dynamics is devoted to the study of the social relations of the past human communities from an archaeological perspective. These relationships affect both intra-community (relationships between individuals) and inter-community behaviour (relationships established between different communities). In all cases the synchronic variability of these relations as well as their diachronic dynamics are emphasized.

Research group devoted to historical and philological studies concerning the territories of the former Crown of Aragon and their projection in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic during the Middle Ages. The investigations carried out by its members basically focus on the analysis of documentary and literary sources, taking particular advantage of the exceptional historical archives preserved in Catalonia for the medieval period.

We study the molecular basis and regulation of microaerobic respiration and denitrification processes in endosymbiotic bacteria of legumes, both as free-living and in the plant-bacteria-environment interaction.

The activity will focus on nutrient and energy utilization in specific physiologic processes of monogastric animals. This knowledge will be applied to sustainable and environmentally friendly animal production systems based on landraces, native breeds, to obtain animal products of high quality starndards. Additionally, the effects and mechanisms of action of biologically active substances intended to be used in the aforementioned animal production systems will be explored, both in local and cosmopolitan breeds.

We use an integrated approach to study the biochemical and molecular mechanisms of ion homeostasis in plants in order to develop biotechnological applications to improve salt tolerance, mineral nutrition and water use efficiency in crop plants.

The group analyzes plant sexual reproduction processes from a multidisciplinary point of view, particularly male and female gametogenesis, compatibility, pollen-stigma interaction, and the mechanisms of attraction, fusion of gametes and fertilization. Basic and applied aspects are investigated, mainly within the frame of an agronomic, nutritional and health (nutraceutical and allergy) scope. The group is highly involved in the particular use of advanced microscopical imaging techniques to analyze these aspects.

Fruit trees breeding by using genetic engineering tecniques and physiological and biochemical studies of the antioxidative metabolism of fruit trees, as well as their response to environmental stress. We also study role of reactive oxygen species in seed germination and bud dormancy.

The Fruit Breeding Group of CEBAS is one of the oldest groups in CEBAS. Its main activity is breeding of stone fruit (Prunus), mainly apricot, almond and plum. Many of the varieties developed by our group are widely grown in our country and abroad under license of the CSIC. Simultaneously we develop other complementary lines with its own independence on these species, such as: Reproductive Biology. Resistance to viruses. The Fruit Breeding Group is one of the oldest groups of the CEBAS.

The Group focuses on the multidisciplinary research on the soil-plant system, developing technologies of conservation, recovery of soils and for the recycling of organic waste in the soil-plant system.
