Amparo Sanz Grau

Amparo Sanz Grau is an Associate Professor in the Department of Plant Biology at the Universitat de València, specializing in Plant Physiology. Her research is centered on plant metabolic processes, particularly under abiotic stress conditions, and she is actively involved in two research groups: MITEV (Metabolism and Transport in Plants under Abiotic Stress) and CuFeFIT (Metal Homeostasis in Yeasts and Plants).

Research Interests: Her work focuses on the physiological and metabolic responses of plants to environmental stress, including starch mobilization in citrus leaves during fruiting and metal ion homeostasis in plants and yeasts. These areas highlight her expertise in plant biochemistry and molecular physiology.

Research Groups:

• MITEV: Investigates metabolic and transport mechanisms in plants under abiotic stress.
• CuFeFIT: Explores metal homeostasis, particularly iron and copper, in yeasts and plants.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Plant Physiology, Universitat de València (1984)
• Thesis: "Actividad amilolítica y movilización del almidón en hojas de naranjo (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck, cv. Washington Navel), en relación con la fructificación"
• Supervised by Dr. José Luis Guardiola Bárcena
