RESEARCH FELLOW dianavanacore(AT)cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae My research activity during the thesis and training period was focused on the study of Arbutus unedo L., spontaneous plant of the Mediterranean scrub, carried out with a view to its enhancement and possible increase of its cultivation, as it is resistant to high temperatures, high solar radiation and low water availability. The leaves of this species are especially rich in polyphenols. These secondary metabolites possess multiple benefits for human health, thanks to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial…

RESEARCH FELLOW rebekkaschloesser(AT)cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae My research interest is in forest pathology. I am interested in approaches for handling already established diseases in forests as well as in the prevention of initial introduction and spread. My last position focused on Cryptostroma corticale, the causal agent of sooty bark disease. The aim of the project was to get a better understanding of the disease and its impact towards the forests to determine how to handle infected logs, as well as infected stands. An…

RESEARCH FELLOW amedeo.moine(AT)cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae My research activity is focused on the study of plant (grapevine in particular) responses to environmental stresses. In particular, I study the physiological, metabolic and molecular mechanisms controlling the response of woody and herbaceous plants (Vitis vinifera, Corylus Avellana, Solanum lycopersicum and Actinidia deliciosa) to biotic and abiotic stresses, in order to introduce innovations in current agronomic practices.In detail, I set up dedicated protocols to carry out water stress trials on woody and herbaceous species, by analyzing…

RESEARCH FELLOW giovannaavventura(AT)cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae I’m graduated in Agro-Environmental and Food Biotechnology at the University of Naples Federico II with a thesis in General and Applied Entomology entitled: “Role of Aphidius ervi venom in host regulation”, carried out at the “E. Tremblay” entomology laboratory (Department of Agriculture – Portici, NA). During this work I had the opportunity to use a reverse genetics approach, based on the RNA interference (RNAi) technique for the functional characterization of an aphid parasitoid venom protein, having the…

RESEARCH FELLOW angelopalmieri(AT)cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae The research activities that I have carried out are mainly based on the interception and monitoring of allochthonous harmful pests found in the national territory (Bactrocera dorsalis, Aromia bungii, Megaplatypus mutatus, etc.). These activities involved the use of different arthropod sampling methods (trapping, visual observation of symptoms, sweeping, etc.), and morpho-bio-molecular characterization of the catched specimens. I also collaborate with the phytosanitary service in the containment and eradication activities of the cerambycide A. bungii and with inspections…
