Our group works on different aspects of protein trafficking in plant cells, with special emphasis on functional studies. On the one hand, we try to elucidate the function of a group of proteins (of the p24 family) probably essential in the quality control of protein trafficking in the secretory pathway and in the organisation of the compartments of the early secretory pathway, including the Golgi complex biogenesis. On the other hand, we are interested in investigating the molecular basis of the polar localisation of the auxin transporter PIN1, which determines the polar transport of auxins and is essential for plant growth and development, defining its global polarity.
To understand the molecular mechanisms involved in protein trafficking with special physiological relevance in plant cells.
