Biography

In the course of the scientific career I have developed my experience in studying the physiological responses of plants to abiotic stress (drought, salinity, flood, herbicide and heavy metal contamination). Also how these responses are modified in the presence of biotic interactions such as those occurring with arbuscular mycorrhizae.
