We are 11 people \u00bfresearchers, technical staff, administrative staff and trainee research staff\u00bf working in the fields of Improvements to Plant Genetics and Food Technology. Our staff are members of the Plant Biotechnology\/Biology, Chemistry and Food Technology Departments at the Higher Technical School of Engineering for Agronomy, Food and Biosystems, and the Centre for Biotechnology and Plant Genomics.

\n Within the framework of the latest Spanish R&D projects, we have carried out genetic and genome characterisation and work on the functional quality of wide collections of local Spanish varieties of bread wheat and seed wheat. The interest in this kind of material, as a source of genetic variability, is growing, particularly in relation to adapting to a low-input agriculture, and direct cultivation in ecological management systems and making traditional bread products.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n

\n We are a member of the AGRISOST (www.agrisost.org\/<\/a>) consortium, funded by the Madrid Community. It is expected that the results will have a direct impact on improving wheat, making it possible to use new strategies to obtain improved varieties under sustainable environmental conditions. On this subject, we are also in the regional Operational Group, OzoCAM (Ozone and plant pathogenicity in the Madrid Community), coordinated by CIEMAT.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n

\n With the Next generation variety testing for improved cropping on European farmland project (InnoVar; H2020 Framework Programme. <\/span>\n Innovations in Plant Variety Testing, 2019-2023) we are seeking to optimise the protocols for registering varieties in the EU.<\/span>\n <\/p>","contenido":"","pictures":"http:\/\/www.upm.es\/observatorio\/vi\/gestor_general\/recuperar_archivo.jsp?id=1774\rhttp:\/\/www.upm.es\/observatorio\/vi\/gestor_general\/recuperar_archivo.jsp?id=1054","descripcion":"

The group's work focusses on genetic improvement to cereals in order to improve functional and nutritional quality and on improvements for sustainable agriculture. We are also interested in researching the genetic variability of germplasm in grasses, as a starting point for developing our new plant varieties.<\/p>\n

We are doing this work using classic tools as well as molecular and genome approaches, within the framework of the following lines of research:<\/p>\n
