Portici Unit, Research FellowRESEARCH 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…

Alessandria Research Unit, Research DirectorRESEARCH DIRECTOR emilio.guerrieri(AT)cnr.it 06.4993.27815 publications: Orcid personnel details and activity: People Curriculum Vitae The main topic of research is the sustainable control of insect pests of agricultural and forestry plants. The subject of this activity are the insect parasitoids, used in biological control programmes against pests. The main field of investigation include: a: volatile organic compounds regulating the interactions among plant-insect pest -insect parasitoid: insect parasitoids exploit plant volatile organic compounds to locate infested plants and then their victims. These interactions are studied mainly in tomato assessing the role of…

In particular, the activity consisted of two parallel studies concerning the assessment of the market and consumer preferences for innovative foods such as legume-based snacks. This is because both food companies and the consumer move their choices with regard to issues that are increasingly common today such as increased attention to health, the environment and therefore sustainability. And here on the market there are…
