RESEARCH FELLOW diana.vanacore(AT)ipsp.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 rebekka.schloesser(AT)ipsp.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…

RESEARCHER giulia.atzori(AT)ipsp.cnr.it 055.522.5596 publications: ORCID personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae My research activity aims at studying the response of edible species to saline stress at the growth, physiological and at the biochemical level. The species under study are characterized by different degrees of salt tolerance, and most recently I focused on halophytic species that have naturally adapted to saline environments developing a series of mechanisms that allow a tolerance to saline concentrations up to 50% sea water. This research has a threefold objective: i) increasing food production…
