RESEARCH FELLOW giuliagiannetti(AT)cnr.it 011.397.7927 publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae Master’s degree in ‘Biology for molecular, cellular and pathophysiological research’ at the University of Roma Tre. During my experimental activity of thesis, carried out in the plant biotechnology laboratory, I characterized tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) mutant plants for one of the tomato polyamine oxidases genes (SlPAO3) obtained using the CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing technology. Specifically, these loss-of-function mutants (slpao3) were subjected to phenotypic, molecular, anatomical, morphological and physiological analyses with the aim of investigating whether genetic manipulation of…

RESEARCH FELLOW giulialucetti(AT)cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae In the present project, RNAi will be explored for the control of the Japanese beetle Popillia japonica (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), an alien quarantine species highly polyphagous that cause severe damages to crops. 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…
