We apply varied research approaches, combining conventional methodology of phenotypic evaluation with state-of-the-art molecular and analytical technologies in three main botanical-ecological studies:
1. Ecotypic-adaptive variation in natural populations of Eruca sativa.
2. Fruit evolution and adaptation to Mediterranean habitats in Raphanus spp.
3. The history of olive tree cultivation in the Eastern Mediterranean region.
