Research Group on Metabolism and Transport in Plants under Abiotic Stress - MITEV

Description

The morphophysiological effects of various abiotic stresses on plants are studied, in particular on photosynthetic and respiratory metabolism, as well as water balance and alterations in the functionality of cell membranes and nutrient distribution in the plant. The project focuses mainly on stresses caused by salinity and heavy metals, in this case both by excess (toxicities) and deficiencies (nutritional deficiencies), and the mechanisms regulating plant responses to these adverse environmental conditions.

Goals CT

To improve knowledge on the regulation of the incorporation, distribution and physiological effects of nutrients and toxic substances in plants.

Research lines

Metabolism and transport in vegetals under abiotic stress

Study of the effects of several abiotic stresses, particularly salinity and heavy metals, on the metabolism and nutrients distribution in plants and its regulation. Determination of alterations in iron homeostasis in plants that present mutations of the membrane transporters of high affinity for copper.
