RESEARCHER adriana.sacco(AT)cnr.it 06.4932.7828 publications: ORCID personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae For many years the focus of my research have been the improvement of Solanaceae fruit quality thought the use of multiple ‘omics’ approaches such as microarray, QTL, introgression line, DNA seq, RNA seq, GBS and so on. More recently the field of interest has expanded to the study of Beneficial microorganisms (BCA) and their interaction with plants in order to identify genes and metabolites underlying the mechanisms of growth promotion and induced resistance.

Hazelnut cultivation in Piedmont is a rapidly growing agricultural sector characterized by: i) constant and significant increase in the total area planted; ii) high quality profile of its production, based on the cultivar ‘Tonda Gentile Trilobata’ (TGT). This favorable situation is contrasted by the negative impact of climate change on agriculture. Water is a precious resource, and it is now necessary to optimize its use in a more sustainable manner also by powering the selection of rootstocks and new genotypes. The aims of BREEDINCORE are: i) to study the behavior…
Read MorePhosphorus use efficiency and genetics of bread wheat (PGEN-BW)
Phosphorus is an essential compound for wheat growth. Due to massive phosphorus fertilizer applications from the 60’s to the mid 80’s, phosphorus availability from the soil is, nowadays, not a major issue for bread wheat in most Western European countries. Nevertheless, recent studies demonstrated that it could become a real threat for wheat production by 2030 because of the constant decrease of fertilizer applications. Indeed, it has been several years that the phosphorus inputs are lower than exports (harvested crop organs), causing a serious depletion of available phosphorus concentrations in…
Read MoreResilient to climate change extremes Mediterranean Agricultural Systems: leveraging the power of soil health and associated microbiota (RESCHEDULE)
RESCHEDULE principal goal is to develop scientifically-informed and locally-adapted solutions that improve the resilience of smallholder farms to climate change (SOM and nutrient depletion, desertification, erosion). Solutions targeting mainly on soil health restoration consistent with agroecology principles (no tillage, intercropping, tolerant to abiotic factors genotypes, soil microbiota) will be evaluated in an environmental gradient to design appropriate transition pathways of resilient and sustainable smallholder farms. It considers particularities in cropping systems (perennial vs annual) and environmental conditions for developing tailored solutions by implementing activities rooted in agroecology principles. Activities will…
