Studies focus on the resistance responses of crops, mainly legumes to their main environmental constraints to ultimately improve yield performance. These studies are carried out at molecular, cellular, physiological studies and crop scale levels.

Classical and molecular procedures for diagnosis and evaluation of the development of diseases.Isolation and evaluation of populations of phytopathogenic agents in vegetable tissues of various agricultural crops and soils infested by them.Preparation of in vitro culture media for microorganisms.Phytopathogenic resistance tests.Disease control assays with microbial agents.Improvement of conditions of amplification and quantification of phytopathogenic microorganisms in plant tissue and soil by conventional PCR polymerase chain reaction and q-PCR.

Genome-wide association mapping in pea (Pisum sativum). Plant breeding for disease and pest resistance.
