  Linea de Investigación
 

Mi interés de investigación se centra en la fisiología de postcosecha de frutas, específicamente de arándanos y manzanas. Las principales líneas de investigación en arándanos se basan en el desarrollo y maduración del fruto y los factores fisio-morfológicos y medioambientales que predisponen al ablandamiento y deshidratación en postcosecha. En manzanas el trabajo se ha centrado en la evolución de la madurez de diferntes cultivares y la susceptibilidad al desarrollo de escaldado superficial y “bitter-pit”.
