Description

The study of metabolism is emerging as a central area of plant biology due to the growing interest in topics such as increasing agricultural production, bioenergy, exploiting plant chemical biodiversity or obtaining phytonutrients. The manipulation of plant metabolism to achieve some of the above-mentioned applications requires, first of all, a precise knowledge of the functioning of metabolic pathways and the networks that connect them.

Our research focuses on functionally characterising pathways of primary plant metabolism by combining metabolomics, bioinformatics, proethomics and genomics approaches. In addition, we try to elucidate the metabolic networks that connect the different pathways and how they interact with plant development. We are currently interested in the study of plastidial metabolic pathways, such as the glycolytic pathway or the phosphorylating pathway of serine biosynthesis.

Goals CT

Functional characterisation of primary plant metabolism pathways and the networks linking said metabolism to development.

Research lines

Plastidial glycolytic pathway, phosphorylated serine biosynthesis pathway, photorespiration and climate change

We are characterising the phosphorylated serine biosynthesis pathway and the plastidial glycolytic pathway. Basic knowledge of these pathways will help to increase the nutritional quality of crops.
