Descripción/Description
[ES] La actividad del grupo se centra en el proceso de la embriogénesis gamética como una vía para la obtención de plantas doble haploides (DH). Durante este proceso las células gaméticas cambian su patrón de desarrollo iniciando una ruta embriogénica, obteniendo así, plantas 100% homocigóticas en una sola generación. La introducción de los DHs en los programas de mejora acelera del desarrollo de nuevas variedades vegetales. El grupo trabaja en el estudio de los mecanismos morfológicos, genéticos y moleculares que determinan la embriogénesis gamética. Para ello utiliza distintas herramientas, entre ellas técnicas de alto rendimiento. Una mayor comprensión del proceso nos permite abordar la puesta a punto de protocolos eficientes para producción de DH en cereales y hortícolas. El grupo mantiene actividades de transferencia de materiales y de tecnología a través de convenios de colaboración y contratos con grupos de investigación y compañías privadas tanto Nacionales como Internacionales.

During this process, the gametic cells change their developmental pathway initiating an embryogenic route, allowings the production of complete homozygous plants in a single generation. The introduction of DHs in plant breeding programs can accelerate the development of new plant varieties. The group studies the morphological, genetics and molecular mechanisms that determine gametic embryogenesis. Different approaches, including high throughput techniques, are performed. A better understanding of the processes allows the development of efficient protocols for DH production in cereals and vegetables. The direct transfer of materials and technologies is one of the objectives of our group which is performed by collaborations agreements or contracts with other research groups and private companies both nationally and internationally.
