John P Délano-Frier

Summary

Born in Mexico City in 1958. Got my BSc in Food Enginnering & Marine Science at the Instituto Tecnológico y de Esudios Superiores de Monterrey, Campus Guaymas, in 1981. I was granted the MSc degree in Food Science, with Distinction, by The University of Reading, UK, in 1987. Later, pursued my PhD in Plant Physiology at Washington State University, under the guidance of the late Clarence Ryan, which I received in 1997. My doctoral dissertation was related to systemin, the first plant bioactive peptide discovered in plants. I have been working since then at Cinvestav, Irapuato, México, as a Research Professor in the Biotechnology and Biochemistry Department. I specialize in biotic and abiotic stress using a number of plant models, including marginally studied species, such as amaranth and Physalis
