July 2024 - Natural variation in salinity driven by pallele 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 twice independenlty 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.
Octobre 2018 - ANR PRCI grant succeeded.
This is a collaborative project with Dr. Schneeberger at MPIPZ. We will have funds to host a bioinformatician that will be looking at tomato evolution. Apply here if you are interested.
June 2018 - Commentary published about our article
Thanks to Santiago Mora-García and Marcelo J. Yanovsky for writing about our latest paper in a "Commentary " article in PNAS: "A large deletion within the clock gene LNK2 contributed to the spread of tomato cultivation from Central America to Europe".
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.
