RESEARCH FELLOW stefano.raimondi(AT)ipsp.cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae Graduated in Viticultural and oenological sciences at the University of Turin, I have been working with CNR-IPSP for some time dealing with ampelography (study of grape varieties) both by observing morphology and studying the identification and relationships of grapevine varieties on genetic basis. During the current research grant I will deal with the characterization, conservation, genetic and virological selection of grapevine germplasm, in particular following the ordinary management of the ampelographic collection of Grinzane Cavour, a vineyard…

RESEARCH FELLOW giulia.giannetti(AT)ipsp.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 giulia.lucetti(AT)ipsp.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…

RESEARCH FELLOW niccolo.miotti(AT)ipsp.cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae My research activity has focused on the plant-pathogen interaction in the Cannabis sativa system, with the aim of deepening knowledge on viral infections. This study has been based on the use of classic molecular techniques such as RT-PCR, qPCR, and dPCR, along with small RNA sequencing (NGS). In particular, I have developed and utilized viral vectors as a central part of my approach to understand the host-virus interaction in this plant system.
