AYALA-ZEPEDA, Marisol et al. Changes in the research conduction on agro-biotechnology due to COVID-19: The case of LBRM-COLMENA Research Node. Rev. mex. fitopatol [online]. 2021, vol.39, n.spe, pp.293-306.  Epub 30-Nov-2022. ISSN 2007-8080.  https://doi.org/10.18781/r.mex.fit.2021-9.

COVID-19 has had negative impacts on human health, economic stability, food supply chains, and global food security, increasing poverty and inequality. Institutions and laboratories worldwide have focused their efforts on the study of sustainable agro-biotechnological alternatives to contribute to food security for the present and future, as well as on mitigating the negative impacts of the ongoing pandemic. This work aims to share the experiences of our team in the Laboratorio de Biotecnología del Recurso Microbiano-Colección de Microorganismos Edáficos y Endófitos Nativos (LBRM-COLMENA) Research Node during the current health contingency, as well as the strategies implemented to continue with the research projects focused on generating knowledge in different scientific disciplines.
