During my Master I worked on the gene regulation of the immune response of honey bees following viral infections and attacks by the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor and then on the diagnostics of plant pathogens transmitted by vector insects, such as Xylella fastidiosa and the phytoplasma associated with Flavescence Dorée disease. During my PhD at the University of Bordeaux (France), I worked on…

Associate, Turin HeadquarterASSOCIATE 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…

The whole genome sequencing of three ‘Nebbiolo’ clones is the starting point for the study of the interactions between genotype and climatic conditions of cultivation, that define the wine terroir. The research is carried out using agronomic, transcriptomics (RNA-seq) and epigenomics (BS-seq) approaches, in order to link gene expression profiles between three clones and four different cultural environments. In parallel, the interaction between genotype and environment is also…
Chiumenti Michela
Bari Unit, ResearcherRESEARCHER michela.chiumenti(AT)ipsp.cnr.it 080.544.3071 publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae High-throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies have become an important tool in phytopathology, since they allow either the identification and characterization of infectious agents, without the need of their prior knowledge, or the study of molecular interactions between such organisms and their host plants. In this context, since my Ph.D. in plant health in 2011, I started deepening my bioinformatics and statistical knowledge applied not only to viral diagnostics and metagenomics but also to the virus/viroid-plant interactions. Currently, my…

I conducted research regarding the interaction between quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) plants and mitoviruses (CqMV1) under water stress conditions through molecular approaches (Real Time PCR, capillary electrophoresis). The analyses included assessment of gene expression, anion content in quinoa leaves, and C and N isotope ratio. Since June 2024 I am a Research Fellow at IPSP-CNR and I collaborate on the research project MICOTI.
