Postharvest Physiology, Pathology and Biotechnology

The group of Physiology, Postharvest Pathology and Biotechnology dedicates its activity to the study of the quality of the fruit and its maintenance during postharvest storage. In our research projects, we use different multidisciplinary approaches and strategies to understanding the physiological and molecular mechanisms related to fruit quality during post-harvest. We also address the development of storage technologies to prevent or reduce postharvest losses caused by physiological and pathological disorders, and to reduce the mycotoxin levels in fruit.
