Dr. Guillermo Pratta | Crop Science | AgriInnovator in Academia Award
Investigador Principal | CONICET | Argentina
Guillermo Pratta is a researcher specializing in plant genetics, crop improvement, and quantitative genetics, with a strong focus on horticultural and agroecological systems. His research addresses genetic variability, gene expression regulation, and the identification of quantitative trait loci associated with fruit quality, stress tolerance, and disease resistance, alongside emerging work on agroecological aptitude and genetic resource conservation. He serves as a faculty member at the National University of Rosario and is affiliated with CONICET, contributing to both academic research and applied breeding programs. Dr. Pratta’s key contributions include advances in tomato genomics, multivariate genetic analysis, identification of resistance genes, and the development of genetic resources for sustainable crop production. His work integrates molecular, statistical, and breeding approaches to enhance crop performance and resilience. Through translational research and international publications, he aims to support sustainable agriculture, strengthen food systems, and foster innovation in plant breeding and genetic resource management.
