PLANT IMMUNOLOGY
CONACYT-CIAD-URH researcher

Bio:

PhD in plant biotechnology with focused studies in plant root development, using mutant lines from Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh., into low phosphate available responses (CINVESTAV-IPN, 2013). Postdoctoral position with focused studies to demonstrate the PLC’s role into signal-transduction process into response to aluminum stress, using as a model a suspension cell culture from Coffea arabica L. and Capsicum chinense (CICY, 2015-2018). Currently; CONACYT-CIAD-URH researcher (2018-present), working on plant immunology responses into native landraces from Maize. Specifically issues in morphological, biochemical and genetics characterization from plants, and suspension culture cell and protoplast systems. Scientific products include 6 scientific peer-reviewed publications, which include Plant Sicence, Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry and PLOS ONE Journals and have been cited 30 times; H Index of 3; 1 preprints currently under peer-review. Ascribed to the National System of Researchers (SNI Level candidate) in Mexico from 2019 to present. Has been someone invited for molecular and bioinformatics courses in Universities and Research Institutes.

Research:

To adaptation, development and survival into plants, an appropriate perception and/or plasticity is crucial to respond efficiently to their aggressors. In this sense, the immune systems from plants are incharge to these chemical wars and it is in our particular interest to understand the agrosystems called “milpas”, which are in constant adaptation and in close relationship with the microorganisms present in the rhizosphere. For these purpose, we studies the genetic variability assisted by molecular markers, and their bioactive compounds to establish the mechanisms associated into plant-microbial interactions. Our main objective is the soil bioremediation with their co-evolutionary counterparts for agriculture-productive systems. And generate biotechnological tools that improve the production and sustainability for original producers to native landraces from Maize.
