Polyamines are small, positively charged organic molecules essential for the growth and development of all living organisms. In plants, they regulate fundamental cellular processes and play a pivotal role in the response to different types of stress.

Our research focuses on elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying polyamine function in plants and uncovering the pathways involved in polyamine signaling during stress.

In parallel, our group develops innovative microbial-based biostimulants and biocontrol solutions, integrating microbial biology with applied agrobiotechnology. Through this combined approach, we seek to deliver sustainable strategies that enhance yield and strengthen crops against both abiotic and biotic stresses, bridging fundamental research with real-world agricultural solutions.

Our lab is affiliated to the Nutrition and Food Safety Research Institute (INSA) at the University of Barcelona.
