Forgia Marco
Research Fellow, Turin HeadquarterRESEARCH FELLOW marco.forgia(AT)cnr.it 011.397.7923 publications: ORCID personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae My research activity is mostly focused on the identification and characterization of mycoviruses through bioinformatic and molecular approaches. 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.

During my experimental activity of thesis, carried out in the plant biotechnology laboratory, I characterized tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) mutant plants for one of the tomato polyamine oxidases genes (SlPAO3) obtained using the CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing technology. Specifically, these loss-of-function mutants (slpao3) were subjected to phenotypic, molecular, anatomical, morphological and physiological analyses with the aim of investigating whether genetic manipulation of…

Associate, Turin HeadquarterASSOCIATE publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae Prof. Gianotti’s research activity concerned the development of new analytical methodologies using chromatographic, spectroscopic and mass spectrometry techniques for the determination of organic molecules in environmental, food and health protection matrices through multivariate methods of experimental planning. At the same time, by means of LC-MS systems, it worked on the study of the natural degradation and photodegradation products of pollutants, of organic molecules by means of hyphenated mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography. In particular, the degradative mechanisms of long-lasting…

Research Fellow, Turin HeadquarterRESEARCH FELLOW giulialucetti(AT)cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae In the present project, RNAi will be explored for the control of the Japanese beetle Popillia japonica (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), an alien quarantine species highly polyphagous that cause severe damages to crops. The management of P. japonica in Italy is under the official control of the National Plant Protection Services and mainly based on applications of chemical insecticides. Therefore, innovative and sustainable alternative strategies are urgently needed. The use of microalgae and cyanobacteria for production and delivery of…

Research Fellow, Turin HeadquarterRESEARCH FELLOW niccolomiotti(AT)cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae My research activity has focused on the plant-pathogen interaction in the Cannabis sativa system, with the aim of deepening knowledge on viral infections. This study has been based on the use of classic molecular techniques such as RT-PCR, qPCR, and dPCR, along with small RNA sequencing (NGS). In particular, I have developed and utilized viral vectors as a central part of my approach to understand the host-virus interaction in this plant system.
