FarmEVs project aims to take on the challenge of establishing plant extracellular vesicles farming systems within the One Health approach. FarmEVs will focus on the agriculture’s sustainability and seek innovative eco-friendly solutions. We will develop green solutions for the isolation of plant –derived nanovesicles from organically grown plants. We will establish plant EVs–based molecular delivery system, which would enhance bioavailability and improve the efficacy and safety of loaded bioactive compounds. We will develop nano-biofertilizers and agro-nanotechnological EVs for the horticultural sector and anti- inflammatory organic plant based EVs for human…

RESEARCH FELLOW roberta.marziale(AT)cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae The research activity I carried out is related to my experimental thesis in Entomology. The experimental study is based on the INSECT-NEMATODE-BACTERIA interaction and involves the identification of the symbiotic bacterium of native entomopathogenic nematodes, reproduced in the larval stages of Galleria mellonella (L.) (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae), used as a test insect. I participated in the implementation of a study on the “Effect of hydrostatic pressure on the viability of EPN native italian strains Steinernema feltiae and Heterorhabditis…
