Taliano Eliana

SCHOLARSHIP HOLDER 011.397.7962 publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae I graduated in Plant Biotechnology from the University of Turin in 2025. For the writing of my master’s thesis, I studied the application of RNAi for the control of Scaphoideus titanus, a vector of Grapevine flavescence dorée phytoplasma. This project involved insect breeding, the selection of potential target genes to be silenced, the synthesis and microinjection of dsRNA molecules. Finally, gene silencing was verified by RT-qPCR. I gained additional laboratory experience through curricular internships: the first as…

Gianotti Valentina

ASSOCIATE publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae Prof. Gianotti’s research activity concerned the development of new analytical methodologies using chromatographic, spectroscopic and mass spectrometry techniques for the determination of organic molecules in environmental, food and health protection matrices through multivariate methods of experimental planning. At the same time, by means of LC-MS systems, it worked on the study of the natural degradation and photodegradation products of pollutants, of organic molecules by means of hyphenated mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography. In particular, the degradative mechanisms of long-lasting…

Volpe Francesco

ASSOCIATE publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae Graduated in Agricultural Sciences at the University of Turin, I have always focused my academic and research path on the study of Xylella fastidiosa, initially investigating the bacterium itself and subsequently concentrating on its main insect vector. Since 2022, I have been conducting research on Philaenus spumarius (meadow spittlebug), the primary vector of Xylella fastidiosa in Europe. In particular, I have focused on the detailed study of the insect’s reproductive biology, with specific attention to ovarian and embryonic dormancy…
