Pol Rey Serra

Pol Rey Serra is a Postdoctoral Researcher (Research Fellow) at the Centre for Research in Agricultural Genomics (CRAG), Institute of Agrifood Research and Technology (IRTA), Spain, working within the Genomics and Biotechnology Program. His research focuses on Rosaceae genomics with specialized expertise in strawberry genetics and breeding.

His scientific interests include:

• Plant genomics and molecular breeding
• Phenotypic plasticity mechanisms in flowering time regulation
• Genetic control of fruit quality traits
• Temperature-genotype interactions in crop adaptation
• Development and application of molecular markers

Dr. Rey Serra's current research analyzes how genetic loci interact with temperature to drive flowering plasticity in strawberries, and explores European diversity panels to identify markers for fruit quality improvement. His work bridges fundamental genomics with practical breeding applications, contributing to climate-resilient crop development.

As an active researcher, he maintains international collaborations evidenced by European-centered studies. His position at CRAG provides access to advanced genomics infrastructure and interdisciplinary agricultural research networks. While specific grant details aren't public, his publication record indicates strong research momentum in strawberry genomics.
