Research Fellow, Turin HeadquarterRESEARCH FELLOW alice.calvo(AT)ipsp.cnr.it Publications: Personal details and research activity: Curriculum Vitae I am a research fellow from June 2022. I achieved a Master degree at University of Turin in Plant Biotechnologies the 26/09/2021. During my thesis I studied microbial communities associated to the white truffle Tuber magnatum, to distinguish truffle’s tissues (gleba and peridium), truffle productive soils and truffle unproductive soils. The final objective was the distinction of truffle belonging to different area based on different bacterial communities associated to gleba. The thesis was based on bioinformatic analysis with Miniconda…

Chitarra Walter
Associate, Turin HeadquarterASSOCIATE walter.chitarra(AT)ipsp.cnr.it 0438.456.715 publications: ORCID personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae The research activity is mainly focused on: Genotype-environment interactions. 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…

Daghino Stefania
Researcher, Turin HeadquarterRESEARCHER stefania.daghino(AT)ipsp.cnr.it 011.397.7923 publications: ORCID personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae I’m a researcher of the IPSP since July 2020. My research is mainly focused on the identification and molecular characterization of mycoviruses, especially those associated with fungal plant-symbionts (e.g. ericoid mycorrhizal fungi), with the aim at investigating the effects of mycoviruses on the biology of their fungal host and on its interaction with the host plant. In addition, I’m interested in the virus-vector interaction mechanisms, in particular in the RNAi-mediated anti-viral response for the TSWV-thrips system. I’m…

The characterization of the viruses discovered is firstly based on the taxonomic and evolutionary aspects and then on the possible impact of the mycovirus on the fungal host’s metabolism. Over the years I also contributed to the characterization of plant viruses infecting C. quinoa and tomato.
