Description

Among the effects of climate change, drought is the one that most impacts agriculture. Microorganisms can increase plant tolerance through various mechanisms. This project aims to study how drought alters the epigenomes of bacteria and plants, particularly DNA methylation, and how this can influence gene expression in both.
