Evolution and Development of
Flowers, Fruits and Reproductive Meristems
Our research lines
Our lab is mainly focused on the study of genetic networks controling different aspects of reproductive development.
- Genetic control of the end of the flowering phase
- Genetic networks controlling floral reproductive organ development
- Genetic basis of the evolution of the angiosperm carpel
- Biotechnological applications to improve reproductive traits in crops

Well done, Ana!
Ana’s PhD project on the characterization of DEVIL peptides has been really a test for her endurance, perseverance and good spirits. She has done an excellent job at the defense and now is the newest doctor of the lab. Good luck in your future projects . We will surely miss you!

Vero thesis
We love PhD defense days. And this time was Verónica Sánchez Gerschon, who brilliantly presented her work on GPA regulators in Arabidopsis. And a great day for Vicente too: his first PhD student, co-supervised with Cristina, got the degree with all the honors.

Clara’s day
The first “pandemic” thesis from the lab. Clara faced all the problems of a hard time but succeeded in producing a beautiful work that earned her a PhD with honors. Here she is with all the future doctors in the lab, happy as only one can be after the defense!
