ASSOCIATE 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…

Volpe Francesco
ASSOCIATE publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae Graduated in Agricultural Sciences at the University of Turin, I have always focused my academic and research path on the study of Xylella fastidiosa, initially investigating the bacterium itself and subsequently concentrating on its main insect vector. Since 2022, I have been conducting research on Philaenus spumarius (meadow spittlebug), the primary vector of Xylella fastidiosa in Europe. In particular, I have focused on the detailed study of the insect’s reproductive biology, with specific attention to ovarian and embryonic dormancy…

ASSOCIATE marcogebiola(AT)cnr.it 081.253.9248 publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae My research focuses on a broad range of topics, from systematics, taxonomy and evolutionary biology of insects (mostly parasitic wasps) and bacterial symbionts to biological control and vector biology. I have published systematic, taxonomic and karyological revisions of important groups of parasitoid wasps often used as biocontrol agents, on disentangling the roles of symbionts in manipulating the reproduction of their insect hosts, reproductive isolation between closely related species, on the phylogeography of parasitoids associated to invasive species,…

ASSOCIATE 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…

Afterwards, master graduated at the same university in Environmental and Behavioural Biology, concluding with traineeship and thesis abroad. In particular, thesis and traineeship project was conducted at Aarhus University (Denmark) about potential antimicrobic activity of plants usually used in constructed wetlands. Now researcher at IPSP-CNR in Sesto Fiorentino for the “Plants talk, but do they listen? Unveiling plant responses to incoming (foreign) volatile organic compounds (Fore-VOC)” project,…
