RESEARCH FELLOW ceciliaparise(AT)cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae In 2018, I obtained my bachelor’s degree in viticulture and oenology, and in 2022 I graduated in Plant health and sustainable cropping system (Erasmus Mundus Master). To date, I am doing my PhD entitled: Exploring RNA interference (RNAi) on vector insects, mainly Philaenus spumarius. Thus, the main research activities carried out are focused on the application of RNAi in the spittlebug Philaenus spumarius, the main vector of Xylella fastidiosa, the causal agent of the olive tree rapid…

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…

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…

ASSOCIATE caruso@unitus.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae The research activities have focused on the isolation and structural and functional characterization of Pathogenesis-Related (PR) genes and proteins using different plant species. Molecular modeling and site-specific mutagenesis techniques have been used to study the structure-function correlation, particularly demonstrating that the ribonuclease activity of wheat PR4 proteins is associated with their antifungal activity. Additionally, the effects of fungal infection, wounding, or the exogenous application of phytohormones on the induction of PR genes and proteins in different plant systems…
