SCHOLARSHIP HOLDER margheritacastaldo(AT)cnr.it publications: ORCID personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae Graduated in Science and Agrarian Technologies at University of Naples Federico II with a thesis entitled “Study of soil microbiome under different farming systems” done in collaboration with IPS-CNR in Portici. I learnt techniques of molecular biology, in particular DNA extraction and quantification and PCR. Now I am a scholarship holder at IPSP-CNR of Portici. My research activities aim at identifying at molecular and morphological level the arthropods and other representatives of the decomposing microfauna present in…

Garozzo Zannini Quirini Eleonora
RESEARCH FELLOW eleonora.garozzo(AT)cnr.it publications: ORCID personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae I graduated in Agricoltural and Environmental Science at Tuscia University in Viterbo (VT, Italy). My first approach with research was in the areas of training placements. During my bachelor’s degree I did my internship at the CNR-ISAFOM Institute in Ercolano (NA) from May 2016 to the end of July 2016, in which I followed the cultivation of bean (four native varieties of Campania: Butirro, Mustacciello, Zampognaro and Quarantino), hemp and quinoa and I also developed my three-year…

The purpose of the project related to Proposal 507866 – CSP New Investigator Proposal (2021 Q3 NI) of DOE Joint Genome Institute is the whole genome re-sequencing of 36 different isolates and fruit bodies belonging to four widespread ectomycorrhizal fungal species, i.e., Tuber borchii, Suillus collinitus, Pisolithus tinctorius, and Scleroderma citrinum, collected in a plethora of habitats different from geographical and microclimatic point of view. The re-sequencing will allow to perform a population genomics and functional gene characterization of these species potentially facing the effect of the temperature increase due…

MYCO-GRAPE is a project of the Institute for Adriatic Crops and Karst Reclamation (Split, Croatia) funded by the Croatian Science Fundation. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are proven to have potential for alleviation of biotic stress in plants and activation of mycorrhiza-induced resistance. However, there are significant gaps in the knowledge on bioprotection efficiency of AMF against the plant viruses and no investigations were conducted on the grapevine. In this project the functional interplay among the grapevine-AMF-viruses will be addressed, having in mind the following: global importance of viticulture, grapevine high…
