Short research description: 

Currently, our research interests are focused in the following areas:

1. Characterization of the enzymes involved in the biosynthesis and modification of the metabolites of saffron:
Glycosyltransferases and glycosidases (CAZY enzymes) of flavonoids and apocarotenoids of Crocus sativus.
Characterization of the genes involved in the biosynthesis dioxygenases of apocarotenoids in saffron.

2. Elucidation of the regulation of biosynthesis apocarotenoids in saffron and related species through omics approaches.
