Moine Amedeo

RESEARCH FELLOW amedeo.moine(AT)cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae My research activity is focused on the study of plant (grapevine in particular) responses to environmental stresses. In particular, I study the physiological, metabolic and molecular mechanisms controlling the response of woody and herbaceous plants (Vitis vinifera, Corylus Avellana, Solanum lycopersicum and Actinidia deliciosa) to biotic and abiotic stresses, in order to introduce innovations in current agronomic practices.In detail, I set up dedicated protocols to carry out water stress trials on woody and herbaceous species, by analyzing…

RESEARCH FELLOW giovannaavventura(AT)cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae I’m graduated in Agro-Environmental and Food Biotechnology at the University of Naples Federico II with a thesis in General and Applied Entomology entitled: “Role of Aphidius ervi venom in host regulation”, carried out at the “E. Tremblay” entomology laboratory (Department of Agriculture – Portici, NA). During this work I had the opportunity to use a reverse genetics approach, based on the RNA interference (RNAi) technique for the functional characterization of an aphid parasitoid venom protein, having the…

Palmieri Angelo

RESEARCH FELLOW angelopalmieri(AT)cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae The research activities that I have carried out are mainly based on the interception and monitoring of allochthonous harmful pests found in the national territory (Bactrocera dorsalis, Aromia bungii, Megaplatypus mutatus, etc.). These activities involved the use of different arthropod sampling methods (trapping, visual observation of symptoms, sweeping, etc.), and morpho-bio-molecular characterization of the catched specimens. I also collaborate with the phytosanitary service in the containment and eradication activities of the cerambycide A. bungii and with inspections…

D’Attoma Giusy

RESEARCH FELLOW giusy.dattoma(AT)cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae I got a master’s degree in Cell and Molecular Biology at Università degli Studi di Bari. During my internship I worked on the use of VIGS (virus-induced gene silencing) as a biotechnological tool for the functional analysis of genes, dealing with the role of pectinamethylesterase gene silencing in TMV infections. At the same university, I earned a post-degree specialization in product and process innovation for the food industry and, in collaboration with the CNR Institute for Sustainable…
