The UV research groups (GIUV) are regulated in the 1st chapter of the Regulation ACGUV48/2013, which explains the procedure for creating new research structures. They are basic research and organizational structures that result from the voluntary association of researchers that share objectives, facilities, resources and common lines of research. These researchers are also committed to the consolidation and stability of their activity, work in groups and the capability to achieve a sustainable funding.
The research groups included in the previously mentioned Regulation are registered in the Register of Research Structures of the Universitat de València (REIUV), managed by the Office of the Vice-principal for Research. The basic information of these organisms can be found in this website.

Reference of the Group:
Description of research activity: 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.

Scientific-technical goals: - Caracteritzacio funcional de rutes del metabolisme primari vegetal i de les xarxes que conecten aquest amb el desenvolupament
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.
