About
Domestication of plants involved habitat and genotype modifications. I would like to understand the impact of these changes on the beneficial microbe-plant interactions and link them in modern crops.
Biography
I study the rhizosphere microbiome associated with wild tomatoes in their center of origin and the impact of the tomato domestication on the beneficial microbe-plant association. Reinstating the beneficial functions of the microbiome will provide protection against biotic and abiotic stresses on plants.

The overall goal of the project is to conduct an in-depth analysis of the biodiversity and functions of microorganisms in the spermosphere and (endo)rhizosphere of ancestors of different crops species grown in their native habitat.
