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…

RESEARCH FELLOW alessandro.cicerone(AT)cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae I graduated in Environmental Biology at the University of Turin in 2024. I conducted research regarding the interaction between quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) plants and mitoviruses (CqMV1) under water stress conditions through molecular approaches (Real Time PCR, capillary electrophoresis). The analyses included assessment of gene expression, anion content in quinoa leaves, and C and N isotope ratio. Since June 2024 I am a Research Fellow at IPSP-CNR and I collaborate on the research project MICOTI.

RESEARCH FELLOW sofia.bertacca(AT)cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae I obtained a master’s degree in Scienze delle Produzioni e delle Tecnologie Agrarie (LM-69) at University of Palermo, presenting an experimental thesis focused on the seed transmission of tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) and the evaluation of different disinfection methods on tomato seeds. In 2021, I embarked on a doctoral research program in “Biodiversity in Agriculture and Forestry” at the same university, with research project centred on the ecology of viral agents affecting olive trees in…

RESEARCH FELLOW luca.bucci(AT)cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae My studies began with a bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Sciences and Technologies, and then continued with a master’s degree in plant biotechnology. Thanks to my experience on my thesis work completed at the IPSP CNR (Turin branch) I have expanded my knowledge in the field of biotechnology applied to arthropods. Subsequently, after obtaining my master’s degree, I worked as a DISAFA (University of Turin) scholarship holder in the entomology sector, on a project called “Molecular investigations on…

RESEARCH FELLOW stefanoraimondi(AT)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…
