MYCORRHIZA

This research Group carries out basic and strategic studies on the ecology, physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, functional genomics and biotechnology of arbuscular mycorrhizas, in relation to nutrition and protection of plants against biotic and abiotic stresses, and their contribution, in interaction with other soil micro-organisms, to the recovery of degraded ecosystems and conservation of threatened flora, and as an alternative to the excessive use of agrochemicals in agriculture.
