Forgia Marco
Research Fellow, Turin HeadquarterRESEARCH FELLOW marco.forgia(AT)ipsp.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.

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 niccolo.miotti(AT)ipsp.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.
