Career Trajectory
Bio
I was awarded in 2012 with a “Ramón & Cajal” grant. The following five years my research focused mainly on two topics:
(1) In collaboration with Dr. Lorenzo Burgos, we induced tolerance against abiotic stress in plum plants by increasing their antioxidant capacity. We described that plum plants overexpressing superoxide dismutase and/or ascorbate peroxidase displayed enhanced salt stress tolerance under in vitro conditions. In addition, one of the transgenic lines over-expressing ascorbate peroxidase (line J8-1) displayed water stress tolerance under greenhouse conditions. In this research I was responsible for the evaluation of the transgenic plum plants (generated by Lorenzo Burgos´ group) to abiotic stress from a physiological and biochemical point of view. On this topic we published two research papers (2013, Plant Biotechnol. J. 11: 976; 2016, Ann. Bot. 117: 1121) and results were presented in 8 congresses.
(2) In 2015 I led a research project (AGL2014-52563-R; Funding: 96800 €) in which we described a new pathway for salicylic acid (SA) biosynthesis in peach. This pathway links SA biosynthesis with cyanogenic glycosides turnover. In addition, we study the role of this new pathway in the response of peach pants to abiotic and biotic conditions as well as in the response of the transgenic plum line J8-1 under abiotic conditions. We described that even though this new SA biosynthetic pathway seems to be functional under stress conditions, cyanogenic glycosides may be operating more broadly than by only influencing SA pathways and signalling. Thus, the physiological function of the proposed SA biosynthetic pathway remains to be elucidated. On this topic we published 4 research papers (featured paper: 2017, Plant Cell Physiol. 58(12): 2057) and results were presented in 2 congresses.
During the “Ramón & Cajal” period I kept collaboration with Prof. CH Foyer´ lab, in which I carried out my postdoc stay. During this period, we kept working on the redox control of the plant cell cycle. We described that glutathione depletion significantly increases the redox potentials of the nucleus and cytosol, and causes arrest of the cell cycle in roots but not shoots, with accompanying transcript changes linked to altered hormone responses, but not oxidative stress. This investigation was a continuation of that I performed during my postdoc stay and my role was helping in the supervision of the experiments and in the data management. On this topic, since 2010 we have published 4 manuscripts (featured papers: 2015, Plant Cell Environ. 38: 266; 2015, Free Rad. Biol. Med. 89: 1154), a book chapter and results were also presented in 3 congresses.
Within my international collaborations, with Prof. MJ Considine (University of Western Australia) we are trying to stablish a research collaboration to study the role of the antioxidative metabolism during bud breaking in grapevine. We are looking for calls able to fund this kind of overseas cooperation. In the meanwhile, we published a review manuscript (2017, Trends Plant Sci. 22: 140).
In 2018 I joint the University of Murcia as lecturer in the Plant Biology department. For two and a half years I worked full time as lecturer and I was also involved in a project funded by the Centre for the Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI). In addition, I supervised an investigation in which we described that elicitation of broccoli suspension-cultured cells increases bioactive compound production via to the establishment of a mild oxidative stress, giving rise to one research paper (2020, J. Plant Physiol. 248: 153136) and a congress communication.
In 2020 I went back to CEBAS-CSIC with a Senior Researcher (Científico Titular) position. We have been working mainly on the interplay among enzymatic antioxidants, sugars and the hormones abscisic acid and gibberellins during the dormancy release in peach buds. I have been involved in all the experimental procedures carried out, publishing 2 research papers and contributing to two congresses. Moreover, I am in the research team of a PRIMA–Horizon 2020 project (PCI2020-111977) and a CDTI project. In this CDTI project with are dealing with the soil contamination by agricultural fertilization, trying to reduce the fertilizers input.
