My area of interest is the study of the ecophysiological basis of crop yield and grain quality. Mainly interested in genotype x environment interaction and in understanding the mechanisms involved in crop responses to abiotic stressors (water deficit and high temperature stress) at cellular, plant, and canopy levels.
