My research focuses on lipid biosynthesis in tropical and Mediterranean plants, particularly triacylglycerols in seeds and fruits, lipid vitamins (tocochromanols, carotenoids), leaf cuticular waxes, and bioactive terpenoids. The approaches used include transcriptomic analyses coupled with chemical analysis of molecules with our analytical chemistry platform (web link).
