Ph.D. Salamanca (1986). Staff scientist at IRNASA-CSIC. Speciality: seed morphology. Analysis, description and quantification of seed shape. Methods to describe and quantify seed shape based on the comparison of seed images with geometric figures (cardioid, ellipse, oval and derived figures). The seeds of model plants have shapes related to the cardioid. Seed shape is quantified by means of the J index, a magnitude that gives an idea of the similarity of bidimensional images of seeds with geometric figures.
