Biography

My research interests lay in the identification of plant traits associated with tolerance to abiotic stresses and the development of screening methods to identify and select cultivars with outstanding adaptation to stress conditions. I have conducted research combining physiological, morphological and anatomical analysis with phenotyping techniques to identify outstanding genotypes under stress conditions. I have also studied some complex interactions occurring simultaneously in waterlogged soils, including low oxygen, nutrient imbalances and higher amounts of phytotoxic compounds. My research is in line with the increasing challenges for plant production imposed by climate change.
