Research interests

Biochemistry and metabolomics of organisms under stress
Rhizobacterias: plant growth promotion and plant protection
Volatile organic compounds: influence on bacteria, fungi and plants
Plant bacteria interactions: volatile communication and bacterial VOCs infleunce on growth, tolerance and resistance
Pant-fungi interactions: pathogenicity, influence on groth and resistance
Fungi-bacteria interactions: influence on growth inhibition and resistance
