PLANT REPRODUCTIVE BIOLOGY AND ADVANCED IMAGING LABORATORY
PLANT REPRODUCTIVE BIOLOGY AND ADVANCED IMAGING LABORATORY
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.
