Biography:
Jose Antonio Madrid Espinoza is an Engineer in Bioinformatics, Ph.D student in Genetic Engineering of Plants in the Institute of Biological Sciences of the University of Talca (UTALCA) and Master student in Education in the Andrés Bello University (UNAB), Chile. Focus on the functional and bioinformatic characterization of proteins that regulate the content of flavonoids in fruits of vitis vinifera, the identification and study of tomato genes associated with the regulation of endocytosis and vesicular trafficking, and the design of molecular strategies to improve tolerance to abiotic stress (mainly salt and drought) of food-importing crops.
Title : Genome-wide characterization and analysis of RabGAP gene family related to salt stress tolerant in wild and cultivated tomato species.
