RESEARCHER stefania.daghino(AT)cnr.it 011.397.7923 publications: ORCID personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae I’m a researcher of the IPSP since July 2020. My research is mainly focused on the identification and molecular characterization of mycoviruses, especially those associated with fungal plant-symbionts (e.g. ericoid mycorrhizal fungi), with the aim at investigating the effects of mycoviruses on the biology of their fungal host and on its interaction with the host plant. In addition, I’m interested in the virus-vector interaction mechanisms, in particular in the RNAi-mediated anti-viral response for the TSWV-thrips system. I’m…

Phage search in insect vector microbiome (Phaser)

The aim of PHASER is to study the presence of bacteriophages in four insect vectors of important plant diseases, using both an innovative, based on RNAseq analysis, and a traditional, based on microscopic observations, approach. The chosen insects are the phytoplasma vectors Scaphoideus titanus and Euscelidius variegatus, and the virus vectors Thrips tabaci and Frankliniella occidentalis. The project will widen the knowledge of the microbiome of these important plant pests and will pose the basis for the development of microbe-based strategies for their containment, to reduce the use of chemical…

Innovazioni vivaistiche per la corilicoltura piemontese (INNOCORE)

In Piedmont, the hazelnut cultivation is characterized by a constant and significant increase in the total area planted. Thus, considering the growing demand for multiplication material of quality and the specific requirements of the market, the nursery sector must offer certified material, from the phytosanitary point of view, and innovative products such as non-suckering rootstocks. The aim of this research is to contribute to the development of a modern and specialized hazelnut nursery sector in Piedmont. The project aims to introduce innovations, both process and product: i) develop highly sensitive…
