This line of work focuses on the propagation, conservation, and improvement of species with agroforestry, ornamental, and medicinal interest, developing the following research lines:

1. Propagation, conservation, and improvement of forest species.
2.  Application of in vitro culture in forest genomics.

• Validation of genes responsible for growth characteristics and drought stress tolerance.
• Obtaining haploid lines.

3. Genetic improvement of species of horticultural and medicinal interest.
4.  Metabolic engineering of terpenes.
