Sportelli Giorgia

RESEARCH FELLOW giorgiasportelli(AT)cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae In the realm of plant pathology, I conducted research focused on the molecular defense responses of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) to infection with Tomato spotted wilt orthotospovirus (TSWV). I delved into the pathways regulating the reduction of cellular ROS concentrations, exploring, for the first time, six selected GRX genes in tomatoes. The results of this project, conducted in collaboration with CNR-IBBR in Portici, have been published as a scientific article. Subsequently, I participated in the E-Crops project…

Calvo Alice

RESEARCH FELLOW alicecalvo(AT)cnr.it Publications: Personal details and research activity: Curriculum Vitae I am a research fellow from June 2022. I achieved a Master degree at University of Turin in Plant Biotechnologies the 26/09/2021. During my thesis I studied microbial communities associated to the white truffle Tuber magnatum, to distinguish truffle’s tissues (gleba and peridium), truffle productive soils and truffle unproductive soils. The final objective was the distinction of truffle belonging to different area based on different bacterial communities associated to gleba. The thesis was based on bioinformatic analysis with Miniconda…
