Dr. Valentin Robledo Torres is a full-time research professor at the Antonio Narro Autonomous Agrarian University (UAAAN). He specializes in plant genetic improvement, which has earned him membership in the Variety Qualifier Committee of the National Seed Inspection and Certification Service. He has been a Level 1 national researcher since 2006. Dr. Robledo's research focuses on the genetic improvement of plants for use in protected environments, with the goal of maximizing the genetic potential of crops, making efficient use of resources, minimizing environmental damage, and, to the extent possible, producing under regenerative production systems. Other highly relevant projects include chromosome duplication in economically important horticultural species, which has significantly increased plant vigor and yield. Furthermore, increased tolerance to biotic and abiotic factors has been observed in polyploidy, which offers great potential for their use as rootstocks. His research work, has allowed him to participate in various scientific meetings, such as congresses, symposia or colloquia and to publish 77 scientific articles, in national and international indexed journals. Reaching 1395 citations at national and international level so far. In addition to his scientific work, he has distinguished himself in his administrative work related to research.
