Desert plants have been solving drought for millions of years. We're learning how.
We study the genomics, transcriptomics, and molecular biology of Cactaceae and xeric shrubland species at the CIDC – Autonomous University of Morelos (UAEM).
The Team
Meet the students and researchers pushing the frontiers of xerophyte science at UAEM-CIDC.
Meet us →Our lab is focused on generating genomic resources for Cactaceae and xeric shrubland species. We are also on the look for new model organisms to facilitate the study of these species from a molecular and physiological standpoint. In addition, we aim to develop and standardize in-vitro cultivation, micropropagation, and developing experimental approaches to learn from desert and xeric species, which have naturally evolved resilience to abiotic stress, including water deficit and high temperatures.
