Francisca Reyes Marquez

Francisca Reyes Marquez is a Researcher affiliated with the Laboratory of Genetics at Wageningen University & Research. Her work focuses on molecular genetics, fungal pathogens (e.g., Aspergillus fumigatus), and plant biology with an emphasis on photosynthesis regulation and evolutionary processes. Key research areas include genomic analysis of microbial communities, transcriptomics of Brassicaceae species like Hirschfeldia incana, and mechanisms of balancing selection in fungi.

Research Interests:

• Functional genomics of fungal pathogens
• Regulation of photosynthetic pathways in plants
• Evolutionary genetics and balancing selection
• High-throughput genomic methodologies

Recent studies highlight her contributions to understanding Aspergillus fumigatus genetics through whole-genome sequencing projects and elucidating photosynthesis gene regulation in Hirschfeldia incana. Collaborations span microbial ecology, plant genomics, and fungal pathogen biology, with datasets deposited in public repositories like NCBI and Dryad.

Advising and grants information is not explicitly detailed in available texts. Her research group is part of the Laboratory of Genetics, contributing to interdisciplinary projects in molecular and evolutionary biology.
