Purificacion Andrea Martinez Melgarejo

My research has focused mainly on the study of root system architecture (RSA), hormone profiling and metabolomics in tomato to identify mechanisms of tolerance to nutrient deficiency, salinity, drought, and holoparasitic plants in cultivated and wild tomato species, and in functional mutants, as well as in soybean affected by P deficiency and salinity. Moreover, I have contributed to the development of new protocols for the identification and analysis of more than 100 plant metabolites.
