The Universitat Jaume I (UJI) keeps on updating its scientific research equipment and the last acquisition of the Scientific Instrumentation Service, thanks to the co-financing of the Generalitat Valenciana and the FEDER funds in its 2018 call, are two mass spectrometers that will be used to study the influence of climate change on agriculture. Even so, this equipment promoted by the Ecophysiology and Biotechnology Research Group of the Department of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences will be used by other fields of study, such as biomedicine, environmental chemistry, forensic medicine and biochemistry.

These mass spectrometry devices recently arrived at the UJI have been acquired under the project "Biology of Agricultural Systems in the Context of Climate Change", for which the researcher in charge is Vicent Arbona. This initiative has a budget of 960,663.34 euros from the Generalitat Valenciana for R&D&I infrastructures and equipment, with co-financing from the European Union through the 2014-2020 European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) operational programme. In this call, the UJI got almost two million euros for scientific and technical equipment.

Vicent Arbona, lecturer at the Department of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences of the School of Technology and Experimental Sciences (ESTCE), explains that the two mass spectrometers, coupled with high efficiency separation techniques, will serve to study the influence of climate change on crops and its impact on the production and quality of agricultural products.

The Department of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences is made up of teaching and research staff who work on different lines of research aimed at reducing the environmental impact of agriculture and improving quality. There are many ways of tackling this problem and the groups use various model plants, microorganisms and insects and apply different biochemical, molecular biology and chromatographic approaches. The effect of various types of biotic and abiotic stress on plant physiology, biochemistry, metabolomics, genomics and quality parameters is also studied. Currently, the research groups attached to this department are the following: Bioquímica y Biotecnología, Ecofisiología y Biotecnología, Manejo Integrado de Plagas Agrícolas, Mejora de la Calidad Agroalimentaria, Metabolic Integration and Cell Signaling and Crop Protection and Molecular Biology.
