Biography:
Javier Terol been involved in plant genomics since 1997, when he participated in the sequencing of the genome o the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, the first plant genome obtained. Since 2003 he have been working at the Genomics Centre at the IVIA, developing genomic tools for the generation of new citrus varieties. His team at the IVIA had a leading role in the sequencing of the genome of C. clementina, which has become the reference genome for the Citrus genus. He is involved now in GBS and GWAs studies, in order to ¡obtain markers suitable for their use in the generation of new citrus varieties.
