ASSOCIATE caruso@unitus.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae The research activities have focused on the isolation and structural and functional characterization of Pathogenesis-Related (PR) genes and proteins using different plant species. Molecular modeling and site-specific mutagenesis techniques have been used to study the structure-function correlation, particularly demonstrating that the ribonuclease activity of wheat PR4 proteins is associated with their antifungal activity. Additionally, the effects of fungal infection, wounding, or the exogenous application of phytohormones on the induction of PR genes and proteins in different plant systems…

Albano Lorenza

RESEARCH FELLOW lorenzaalbano(AT)cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae I am graduated in Science and Technology of Animal Production at the University of Naples Federico II. During the period spent at the University and at ISPAAM-CNR, I carried out different experimental activity focalized on “Animal Nutrition and Feeding”. Specifically, my research activity was focused on the study of the Italian Mediterranean Buffalo feeding, particularly on how its diet affected the production of waste products, such as nitrogenous substances. The methodological approach was based on the realization…

ASSOCIATE mariaivagnes(AT)cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae Studied Biological Sciences as bachelor at Università degli Studi di Firenze. Afterwards, master graduated at the same university in Environmental and Behavioural Biology, concluding with traineeship and thesis abroad. In particular, thesis and traineeship project was conducted at Aarhus University (Denmark) about potential antimicrobic activity of plants usually used in constructed wetlands. Now researcher at IPSP-CNR in Sesto Fiorentino for the “Plants talk, but do they listen? Unveiling plant responses to incoming (foreign) volatile organic compounds (Fore-VOC)” project,…

Guastaferro Valentino Maria

RESEARCH FELLOW valentinomariaguastaferro(AT)cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae During my master’s degree I focused on the study of the beneficial interaction between Trichoderma – Brachypodium Distachyon through a molecular approach. In particular, the epigeal and hypogeal portions, taken separately from the plant, were used for the purpose of extracting RNA and sequencing it. The analysis of RNA-Seq data led to the identification of genes up- and down-regulated during the interaction of the plant with two different strains of Trichoderma. This work aims to identify genes…
