ENVIRONMENTAL BIOTECHNOLOGY AND GENETICS OF AGRICULTURAL SYSTEMS BIO264

Description

The members of this research group are located at the Genetics Unit in the Department of Cell Biology, Genetics and Physiology of the School of Sciences of the University of Malaga. Most of this group researchers also belong to the Instituto de Hortofruticultura Subtropical y Mediterr�nea �La Mayora� (IHSM-UMA-CSIC). Its scientific activity is centred on the study of plant-pathogen interaction, mainly in the molecular genetics of plant-phytopathogenic bacteria and plant viruses.
