Overview
We also study molecular mechanisms fine tuning plant growth and defense against pathogens with the purpose of creating resistant crops with optimal growth behavior. With a special interest in the iconic desert plant date palm, the team implements the basic knowledge acquired from developmental biology to understand date palm growth and unravel its strategies of adaptation to desert conditions.
