Macarena Mellado

I have always been interested in how plants work and evolve. My research is focused in elucidating the molecular mechanisms that mediate environmental regulation of plant development. In particular, I study how DELLA proteins are regulated in plant lineages which lack gibberellin, as Marchantia polymorpha.
