Introduction
I work with interfering RNA applied to plants. We use miRNA and target transcript interaction as the design basis to understand gene function, its influence on plant physiology, and secondary metabolite production. In our lab, we welcome students throughout the year, subject to space availability.

Transgenic tobacco (N. tabacum cv. Xanthi nc) to CchGLP gene from Capsicum chinense that encodes an Mn-SOD, constitutively produces hydrogen peroxide that increase endogenous ROS levels. On one hand, previous studies facing these plants against geminivirus infections as well as drought stress confirmed that CchGLP expression conferred resistance ag...

Chapter
The aim of this chapter is to describe how microarrays can be used to identify miRNAs that participate in fruit development in a non-model plant: prickly pear (Opuntia spp). Here, we describe a technology including molecular biology and bioinformatics methods combined to identify, select, and isolate candidate miRNAs putatively involved in prickly...

The large-scale conversion of forests to agriculture has caused biodiversity loss, climate change, and disrupted dietary fatty acid balances, with adverse public health effects. Wild edibles like pine nuts, especially Pinus cembroides, provide sustainable solutions by supporting ecosystems and offering economic value. However, variability in seed q...
Article
The recent developments in application of RNA interference present a novel strategy for combating plant diseases by targeting pathogen genes. This study aimed to design, synthesize, and administer a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) in tomato (var. Microtom) plants, drawing inspiration from the interaction between miR1917 and its target, the negative reg...

The microRNA (miRNA) molecules class is the most studied class of non-coding RNA. These molecules regulate the developmental program in plants including fruit ripening. Therefore, a rapid increase in the miRNA discovery rate has been reported. MiRNAs are mainly registered in the miRBase database, in spite that such database had been out of maintena...

Decision-making based on data analysis leads to knowing market trends and anticipating risks and opportunities. These allow farmers to improve their production plan as well as their chances to get an economic success. The aim of this work was to develop a methodology for price forecasting of fruits and vegetables using Queretaro state, MX as a case...

Chapter
Full-text available
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous non-coding RNAs that play important regulatory roles in animals and plants by targeting mRNAs for cleavage or transla‐ tional repression. Small RNAs are classified into different types by their biogenesis and mode of action, such as miRNAs, siRNAs, piRNAs, and snoRNAs. In the case of miRNAs, this specific type regu...
