RESEARCH FELLOW paolomussano(AT)cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae I graduated in plant biotechnology at the University of Turin, I spend a period abroad at the University of Liege for my MS thesis. There I worked on fusarium wilt disease in banana (with the Sukali Ndizi varity), studying the endophytic root microbiome with NG sequencing techniques to identify BCAs that could be used against the disease development. Afterward I worked at CREA-OF (Consiglio per la Ricerca in Agricoltura e l’Analisi dell’Economia Agraria, Centro di Ricerca in…

RESEARCH FELLOW angela.ligorio(AT)cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae Studies on the use of alternative means of control to chemical of post-harvest rotting of fresh fruit and vegetables. In particular, with physical means (thermal conditioning, electrolysed water, ozone), biological means (yeasts and bacteria), natural substances (chitosan, extracts of vegetable and animal origin, phenolic substances) and organic and inorganic salts for f integrated pest management, which have found application both in the field and in post-harvest. Use of traditional and molecular techniques for the diagnosis and quantification…

RESEARCH FELLOW andreamilani@ipsp.cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae I deal with the diagnosis of herbicide resistance in different species of weeds. The diagnostic assays I use can be whole plant (single dose or dose-response), in greenhouse or field, or in vitro (enzymatic activity), or molecular (PCR, q-PCR, CAPS, dCAPS, LAMP). For about a year I have been investigating the use of RNAi as a bioherbicide.

RESEARCH FELLOW giorgiasportelli(AT)cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae In the realm of plant pathology, I conducted research focused on the molecular defense responses of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) to infection with Tomato spotted wilt orthotospovirus (TSWV). I delved into the pathways regulating the reduction of cellular ROS concentrations, exploring, for the first time, six selected GRX genes in tomatoes. The results of this project, conducted in collaboration with CNR-IBBR in Portici, have been published as a scientific article. Subsequently, I participated in the E-Crops project…
