The research carried out by our Circadian Regulation of Plant–Environment Interactions Group, led by María A. Nohales, on how the biological clock functions in plants has drawn the attention of various general and specialized media outlets.
This discovery significantly contributes to a deeper understanding of the internal mechanisms that regulate plant growth and environmental response. The team has demonstrated that the activity of the biological clock varies by cell type, enabling finer and more adaptive coordination of vital functions such as photosynthesis, stomatal opening, and pathogen defense.
Media outlets such as Antena 3, among others, have highlighted this research for its potential to optimize crop performance and boost resilience to climate change. The media coverage of this work reflects the growing importance of basic plant biology research in developing sustainable agricultural solutions.
At IBMCP, we are grateful for the interest and dissemination of this news by the media, which helps bring science closer to society and highlights the work of those who strive to better understand the plant world.
