Linked to the thematic area of their research work, students gain specific competencies that might fall in different groups::
- Plant Molecular Physiology
- Arabidopsis Genetics
- Plant Phenomics
- Agrofood forensics
- Agrofood Forensics
Research activities: topics generally available for Master of Science theses
- Role of prolyl 4 hydroxylases in tomato and Arabidopsis growth and development
- Arabidopsis genetics
- Regulation of fruit ripening and Arabinogalactans
- Agrofood forensics and development of biotechnological methodologies for authenticity and traceability
- Genetic diversity assessment of horticultural crops
- Olive genomics and transcriptomics
