BIO-286 Cellular Biochemistry and Signaling

Coordinator: Juan Bautista Barroso Albarracín (jbarroso [arroba] ujaen [punto] es)

The Cellular Biochemistry and Signaling research group focuses on the study of antioxidant systems in plants as indicators of performance and productivity of crops in adverse environmental situations. In addition, research conducted in the study of nitric oxide in the fields of plant biotechnology and agri-food have allowed for notable advances in the development of bioformulations that protect olive trees from infections caused by fungal pathogens such as verticillium wilt, and in the characterization of nitrated fatty acids with powerful anti-inflammatory and heart-healthy properties in extra virgin olive oil from Jaén province.
