Research Projects
In our group we are developing different projects to study at molecular level, the mutualistic interactions of Lotus roots with different microbes, including bacteria and fungi.
More recently, we are developing projects in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). In collaboration with members of CCG-UNAM and Aarhus University, we sequenced the Negro Jamapa genome and released Phabase: a genomica and transcriptomic database for Phaseolus spp.

Fungal colonization in Lotus roots
The colonization of different fungi is monitored in Lotus roots and their effect in the growth and symbiotic nitrogen fixation is evaluated.

Different types of rhizobial colonization
We study the molecular determinants and cellular responses during intra- and intercellular rhizobial infection, using comprehensive approaches
New tools for functional genomic studies in common bean
