- Characterization of cell wall material (from plants and microbes) and study of their biotechnological applications:
- Cell wall polysaccharide studies (cell wall fractionation, IC-PAD, immunohistochemistry, glycan linkage analysis, etc)
- Cell wall phenolic profile analysis (HPLC-PDA, Klason lignin)
- Lignocellulosic material evaluation as an energy resource or animal food.
- Characterization of the modulation of plant immune responses against pathogens.
- Development of biosolutions for plant defense against pathogens
- In vitro propagation of crops of forestry and agricultural interest for conservation and production and improvement purposes
- In vitro culture for obtaining plants free of pathogens and viruses.
- Characterization of bitter and aromatic hop (Humulus lupulus) varieties
- Extraction, purification and quantification of plant phytohormones (auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, jasmonic acid, salicylic acid, etc.).
- Extraction, purification and quantification of plant secondary metabolites (SPE, HPCL-PDA, HPLC-ESI-MS/MS)
