Canuto Francesca

RESEARCH FELLOW francesca.canuto(AT)ipsp.cnr.it 011.397.7929 publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae I graduated from the University of Turin in Natural Sciences and Plant Biotechnology. During my Master I worked on the gene regulation of the immune response of honey bees following viral infections and attacks by the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor and then on the diagnostics of plant pathogens transmitted by vector insects, such as Xylella fastidiosa and the phytoplasma associated with Flavescence Dorée disease. During my PhD at the University of Bordeaux (France), I worked on…

SCHOLARSHIP HOLDER publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae In the NUTRAGE project, the research period will focus on evaluating the impact that both biotic and abiotic stresses have on the production of secondary metabolites in horticultural plants through the use of innovative techniques, such as optical sensors and Raman spectroscopy, to monitor the health status and/or biofortification. Furthermore, for the control of pathogens and parasites, innovative technologies will be used for application of biocompounds, such as dsRNA and nucleic acids.

De Rose Silvia

RESEARCH FELLOW silvia.derose(AT)ipsp.cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae After graduating in Plant Biotechnology, I got a PhD in Biological Sciences and Applied Biotechnology at the University of Turin. My research project is focused on the study of the interaction between plants and soil microorganisms, with particular reference to the role played by mycorrhizal fungi of the genus Tulasnella in the interaction with plants belonging to the Orchidaceae family. In detail, I have worked on the molecular mechanisms and nutrient exchanges involved in the fungus-plant interaction,…
