April 2026 — We’re excited to welcome two new PIs to the team: Elena Ramírez Parra and Joaquín Medina.
Elena brings strong expertise in legume genetics and maintains close ties with the Center for Phytogenetic Resources in Madrid. Joaquín focuses on nitrogen nutrition in tomato and Arabidopsis.
July 2025 - Natural variation in salinity driven by parallel mutations in the Cape Verde Islands
It is so much fun when you find a new method in plants for abiotic stress torelance. But it is even better when this method has evolved independently twice in the middle of the ocean!! Read it [here]
April 2022 - Paper on tomato circadian rhythms published
We use RNA-seq to study the interaction between the mutations that changed tomato's circadian rhythms during domestication and its photoperiod perception. Read it [here]
January 2022 - We moved to CBGP Madrid!!!
Our group has moved from IJPB to CBGP in Madrid where we continue working in genetics and genomics of Arabidopsis and Tomato.
February 2019 - Paper on FRI natural variation published
This is the preprint from June 2019. Read it all formatted in The Plant Journal.
June 2019 - Lab's first preprint uploaded
We have uploaded our first preprint to BioRxiv and we are loving it! Titled: "Functional Analysis of FRIGIDA Using Naturally Occurring Variation in Arabidopsis thaliana". See a short summary about the paper in twitter; or read the complete manuscript here.
May 2018 - Our new paper on tomato circadian rhythms
"Mutations in EID1 and LNK2 caused light-conditional clock deceleration during tomato domestication". Read it in PNAS.
