Jose Maria Romero Rodriguez

Jose Maria Romero Rodriguez is a University Professor at the Department of Plant Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Faculty of Biology, University of Seville. His research focuses on plant biochemistry, molecular biology, and developmental processes, particularly the regulation of starch synthesis, nitrate assimilation, and photoperiodic signaling in plants like Arabidopsis thaliana. He has led numerous research projects and collaborations, including studies on transgenic plants, biotechnological applications, and functional genomics. His work integrates molecular, biochemical, and systems biology approaches to understand plant metabolism and development.

Key research interests include the interplay between carbon and nitrogen metabolism, circadian clock regulation, and evolutionary mechanisms underlying photoperiodic responses. He has directed doctoral theses on topics such as floral transition and starch metabolism, and his contributions span over 40 publications and patents related to plant biology and biotechnology.
