Being part of the Consorcio Tecnológico de la Fruta, I worked with varieties of grapevine (<i>Vitis vinifera</i>) resistant to the fungi <i>Erysiphe necator</i>. <i>E. necator</i> is the causal agent of the grapevine powdery mildew, heavily impacting on grapevine productivity in pre-harvest seasons. Using microsatellite-informed genetic breeding, we worked on the characterisation and the crossing of resistant genotypes to obtain varieties with added value for the table grape industry.</p> <p>Side projects included the manual curation of a family of transcriptional regulators of the biosynthetic pathway of grapevine secondary metabolites &ndash;phenylpropanoids, including stilbenes and flavonoids&ndash;, the R2R3-MYB transcription factors. This work was in collaboration with <a href="https://tomsbiolab.com" target="_blank">Dr. José Tomás Matus </a>, currently PI at I2SysBio (Valencia, Spain).</p>
