REMIND – Do crop plants remember stress? Effect of water stress memory on crop resilience in response to recurrent drought and recovery events Under the ongoing climate change scenario, improving plant adaptation to drought for preserving crop harvests is a challenging need. Plants have evolved different strategies to cope with environmental stresses and, although still debated, it was observed that they can remember past stress occurrence. Grapevine and tomato are two of the most economically important crops worldwide, which are heavily impacted by environmental variables. Although anatomical and physiological adjustments…

Shield4Grape – Breeding and integrated pest management strategies to reduce reliance on chemical pesticides in grapevine Climate change and environmental degradation have been seriously challenging Europe and the whole world. The EU’s biodiversity strategy for 2030 is a comprehensive, ambitious and long-term plan to preserve nature and reverse the degradation of ecosystems. In this context, grapevine (Vitis spp.) is one of the major fruit crops worldwide, and although the viticulture is a leading sector of the EU agro-industrial economy, it is also the cropping system with the highest use of…

RESEARCH FELLOW alessandro.cicerone(AT)cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae I graduated in Environmental Biology at the University of Turin in 2024. I conducted research regarding the interaction between quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) plants and mitoviruses (CqMV1) under water stress conditions through molecular approaches (Real Time PCR, capillary electrophoresis). The analyses included assessment of gene expression, anion content in quinoa leaves, and C and N isotope ratio. Since June 2024 I am a Research Fellow at IPSP-CNR and I collaborate on the research project MICOTI.
