Portici Unit, Research FellowRESEARCH 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…
Alderotti Francesca
Researcher, Sesto Fiorentino UnitRESEARCHER francesca.alderotti(AT)cnr.it publications: Orcid Curriculum Vitae My research activity is aimed at studying the physiological and biochemical responses of Mediterranean tree species and energy crops to abiotic stresses. In particular, I have conducted research to investigate the physiological responses and defence mechanisms displayed by plants when exposed to variations in the main environmental factors such as water availability, temperature and light under both natural and controlled conditions. The techniques used to study the physiological responses of plants to abiotic stresses, range from dendrochronological measurements, gas exchanges, chlorophyll fluorescence water relations,…

Aranzulla Giuliana
Scholarship Holder, Turin HeadquarterSCHOLARSHIP HOLDER publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae In the NUTRAGE project, the research period will focus on evaluating the impact that both biotic and abiotic stresses have on the production of secondary metabolites in horticultural plants through the use of innovative techniques, such as optical sensors and Raman spectroscopy, to monitor the health status and/or biofortification. Furthermore, for the control of pathogens and parasites, innovative technologies will be used for application of biocompounds, such as dsRNA and nucleic acids.

My work focuses on monitoring and managing agronomic and forestry pests, with particular emphasis on alien pests of recent or potential introduction. My activities include field monitoring, morphological and molecular species identification, the study of pest biology, and the identification of potential natural regulators and biological control…
Atzori Giulia
Researcher, Sesto Fiorentino UnitRESEARCHER 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…
