My main scientific interests focus on studying the different defense mechanisms that plants possess against adverse conditions, with particular attention to heat stress in relation to the growing challenge of climate change. In my case, I focus on the molecular study of transcription factors involved in heat stress response (HSFs) and their role in stress granules (SGs). The main goals of this research are to deepen current knowledge about the structure and function of these transcription factors, their interaction networks, and the various types of stress that trigger their activation. The ultimate objective is to establish a connection between these findings and a more detailed understanding of SGs in plants, thereby expanding specific knowledge in this field beyond the molecular level.
