Research summary

Micaela Carvajal studies how crop plants such as broccoli, tomato, spinach, cucumber, onion and citrus respond to environmental stresses like salinity, water deficit, and nutrient limitation, with a focus on water transport, ion balance, and biostimulant treatments that improve plant resilience and productivity. The work combines physiological measurements with molecular tools (e.g., aquaporin gene networks, transcriptomics) and applied approaches like greenhouse CO2 management and plant-derived extracts to boost growth and stress tolerance. This research has practical relevance for sustainable and climate-resilient agriculture, particularly in Mediterranean growing conditions.
