RESEARCHER giulia.atzori(AT)cnr.it 055.522.5596 publications: ORCID personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae My research activity aims at studying the response of edible species to saline stress at the growth, physiological and at the biochemical level. The species under study are characterized by different degrees of salt tolerance, and most recently I focused on halophytic species that have naturally adapted to saline environments developing a series of mechanisms that allow a tolerance to saline concentrations up to 50% sea water. This research has a threefold objective: i) increasing food production…

RESEARCH FELLOW andreamilani@ipsp.cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae I deal with the diagnosis of herbicide resistance in different species of weeds. The diagnostic assays I use can be whole plant (single dose or dose-response), in greenhouse or field, or in vitro (enzymatic activity), or molecular (PCR, q-PCR, CAPS, dCAPS, LAMP). For about a year I have been investigating the use of RNAi as a bioherbicide.

I was awarded a MSc in Biodiversity and Evolution at Università di Bologna and a BSc in Environmental, and Natural Sciences at Università di Catania. My research interests cover the study of airborne particulate matter (PM) using Apis mellifera (honey bee) and its products, the study of ecotoxicological pollutant effects on bees and soil fauna, and the study of the agricultural pest Halyomorpha halys (brown marmorated…

RESEARCH FELLOW giorgiasportelli(AT)cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae In the realm of plant pathology, I conducted research focused on the molecular defense responses of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) to infection with Tomato spotted wilt orthotospovirus (TSWV). I delved into the pathways regulating the reduction of cellular ROS concentrations, exploring, for the first time, six selected GRX genes in tomatoes. The results of this project, conducted in collaboration with CNR-IBBR in Portici, have been published as a scientific article. Subsequently, I participated in the E-Crops project…

I obtained a PhD in Agricultural, Forestry and Agri-food Sciences at the University of Turin, discussing the thesis: “Native parasitoids on exotic pests: performances, adaptation processes and possible use in biological control programs”. The object of the research consisted in the study of the…
