I am a plant biologist interested in the study of specialized metabolite landscape and in the characterization of their role in plant adaptation to unfavourable environments
My research at IJPB aims at the characterization of plant and seeds specialized metabolites diversity, plasticity and their role in plant adaptation to unfavourable environments.
I am part of the SEEDEV team at IJPB, where I am leading the work on seed specialized metabolites diversity and plasticity (“Specialize Metabolites” group).
I am the scientific correspondent for “Specialized Metabolites” –related projects for the chemistry and metabolomic platform at IJPB.
