Esto constituye una gran amenaza para la agricultura, ya que la sequ\u00eda puede reducir el rendimiento de los cultivos a la mitad. El proyecto BIOTRANS, liderado por Pedro Luis Rodr\u00edguez Egea y Antonio Granell Richart desde la Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Val\u00e8ncia, desarrolla mol\u00e9culas que mejoran la adaptaci\u00f3n de los cultivos al d\u00e9ficit h\u00eddrico. Aunque la investigaci\u00f3n sigue en curso, ya han conseguido desarrollar mol\u00e9culas que regulan la transpiraci\u00f3n vegetal por la v\u00eda del \u00e1cido absc\u00edsico (ABA).<\/p>\n<p>El ABA es una hormona de gran relevancia, ya que regula tanto el crecimiento y el desarrollo vegetal como la respuesta a la sequ\u00eda. Uno de sus m\u00faltiples efectos es el cierre de los estomas, los conductos de transpiraci\u00f3n por donde el agua sale al exterior de la planta. Es por ello que estimular la s\u00edntesis de ABA puede mejorar el desempe\u00f1o de un cultivo ante la escasez de agua. El equipo investigador del proyecto ya ha conseguido desarrollar la mol\u00e9cula iSB09, que activa la se\u00f1alizaci\u00f3n del ABA provocando el cierre de estomas y reduciendo la p\u00e9rdida de agua. Para poder detectarlo se han utilizado diversas c\u00e1maras, como la de infrarrojos, que permite asociar peque\u00f1os cambios en la temperatura de las hojas con una menor p\u00e9rdida de agua por transpiraci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_0\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1676\" title=\"034 Imagen1\" src=\"https:\/\/ciagro.umh.es\/files\/2026\/03\/034-Imagen1.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 472px) 100vw, 472px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ciagro.umh.es\/files\/2026\/03\/034-Imagen1.png 472w, https:\/\/agroalnextgva.umh.es\/files\/2023\/05\/034-Imagen1-300x240.png 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"472\" height=\"378\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_4  et_pb_text_align_justified et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><em>Fotograf\u00eda de infrarrojos en la que iSB09 ha provocado el cierre de los estomas<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_5  et_pb_text_align_justified et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p>El equipo de BIOTRANS hace uso de las tecnolog\u00edas \u00f3micas para documentar el efecto de las mol\u00e9culas en la ruta del ABA.

La disponibilidad de agua es una seria limitaci\u00f3n para la productividad de los cultivos. La sequ\u00eda puede reducir el rendimiento de los cultivos en un 50% y se requiere el desarrollo de estrategias para mejorar el rendimiento de los cultivos con un suministro de agua limitado, y as\u00ed mitigar y adaptar la agricultura al cambio clim\u00e1tico.

Adicionalmente, esto tendr\u00e1 repercusi\u00f3n social y econ\u00f3mico como detallamos a continuaci\u00f3n. El uso de bioestimulantes para la protecci\u00f3n de las plantas frente al estr\u00e9s bi\u00f3tico y abi\u00f3tico es un tema de gran actualidad en la agricultura. Los bioestimulantes son sustancias ecol\u00f3gicas e inertes para los ecosistemas, y su utilizaci\u00f3n est\u00e1 ampliamente reportada en la literatura para mejorar la tolerancia al estr\u00e9s o aumentar la producci\u00f3n de cultivos. De hecho, se estima que el mercado basado en estas sustancias aumentar\u00e1 un 12% anual a m\u00e1s de $2200 millones. Por otra parte, la v\u00eda de se\u00f1alizaci\u00f3n de ABA es muy prometedora para su aplicaci\u00f3n en la agricultura, espec\u00edficamente para los desaf\u00edos mundiales actuales para lograr la seguridad alimentaria y mantener la productividad de los cultivos en escenarios de cambio clim\u00e1tico. Adicionalmente, otros valores sociales son: i) el desarrollo de empleo altamente cualificado mediante la introducci\u00f3n de avances biotecnol\u00f3gicos de \u00faltima generaci\u00f3n, ii) la mitigaci\u00f3n del impacto adverso del cambio clim\u00e1tico en la agricultura, iii) el aumento de la competitividad de la agricultura espa\u00f1ola y europea, iv) uso sostenible de los recursos h\u00eddricos en la agricultura y adaptaci\u00f3n al d\u00e9ficit h\u00eddrico inducido por el cambio clim\u00e1tico. Las p\u00e9rdidas econ\u00f3micas debidas al estr\u00e9s por sequ\u00eda pueden reducir la productividad promedio de los cultivos entre un 40 % y un 80 %. En Espa\u00f1a, la sequ\u00eda sufrida en los per\u00edodos 1981-84 y 1992-95 provoc\u00f3 p\u00e9rdidas de entre el 1-2% del PIB espa\u00f1ol. Adem\u00e1s, Espa\u00f1a es el pa\u00eds m\u00e1s meridional de Europa, puente con \u00c1frica, y es un serio candidato a sufrir las condiciones adversas derivadas del cambio clim\u00e1tico, al igual que otros pa\u00edses mediterr\u00e1neos. Incluso los pa\u00edses bien desarrollados, como EE. UU., pueden ser v\u00edctimas de la escasez de agua (el costo estimado de la sequ\u00eda de 2012\/13 fue de m\u00e1s de 75000 millones de d\u00f3lares). Por lo tanto, los bioestimulantes y agroqu\u00edmicos capaces de mejorar la tolerancia a la sequ\u00eda ofrecen una gran oportunidad de mercado.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_8  et_pb_text_align_justified et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<h4><b>\u00bfQu\u00e9 recomendaciones tiene para otros investigadores o actores del sector<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/b><b>agroalimentario en cuanto a la implementaci\u00f3n de sus resultados?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>Tratar de proteger los resultados de investigaci\u00f3n mediante patentes y su posterior licencia a empresas del sector de la biotecnolog\u00eda agr\u00edcola.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;D\u00edptico&#8221; closed_toggle_background_color=&#8221;rgba(188,172,130,0.18)&#8221; icon_color=&#8221;#bcac80&#8243; disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|on&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Conmutador entrevista&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; title_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; title_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; body_text_align=&#8221;justify&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#bcac80&#8243; disabled=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<a href=\"https:\/\/agroalnextgva.umh.es\/files\/2024\/09\/D034-BIOTRANS.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/ciagro.umh.es\/files\/2026\/03\/D034-BIOTRANS_Pagina_1.jpg\" width=\"425\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1694 alignnone size-large\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/ciagro.umh.es\/files\/2026\/03\/D034-BIOTRANS_Pagina_2-scaled-1.jpg\" width=\"425\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1697 alignnone size-large\" \/><\/a>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;V\u00eddeos&#8221; closed_toggle_background_color=&#8221;rgba(188,172,130,0.18)&#8221; icon_color=&#8221;#bcac80&#8243; disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|on&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Conmutador entrevista&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; title_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; title_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; body_text_align=&#8221;justify&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#bcac80&#8243; disabled=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DekMm3YwX9o?list=PLClKgnzRFYe7caTZW4hiDTmJ7k8xYdaIx\" title=\"1.13.
