      Hi, no, I would like to work with exotic plants they used to have beautiful flowers and colours, I worked before with sugarcane and eucaliptus (brazilian varieties) also some Argentine passion flowers but just studying their proteins not with the plants.

      I will work with Stevia this summer a collaboration with Paraguay and how responds to a blight disease.

    I mostly work with a common cress called arabidopsis, and also with tobacco. We call these model plants becuase we understand them very well and can apply what we learn from them to other plants.

    I dont work with anything exotic, but i have worked with some insects from exotoc places. Colleagues from around the world have sent me aphids and spittlebugs from all over the world including Kenya, New Zealand, China, USA, and Brazil.
