María Cecilia Arango Data-verified

OverviewAI-generated summary

María Cecilia Arango's research focuses on plant physiology and the management of agricultural pests. She has investigated the effects of salt stress on various plant species, including lettuce and basil (Ocimum basilicum L.), exploring the role of compounds like melatonin and salicylic acid in mitigating these impacts. Her work also addresses the control of agricultural nematodes, such as the false root-knot nematode (Nacobbus aberrans), through the evaluation of nematophagous fungi and rhizobacteria-based bio-inoculants in pepper crops. Arango has also contributed to studies on the bioaccumulation and physiological responses of plants, specifically Festuca arundinacea, to heavy metal exposure like Zn(II) excess. Additionally, her research interests extend to animal health, with publications on bacterial infections in poultry and surveillance of respiratory diseases during the COVID-19 pandemic.
