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…

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…

RESEARCH FELLOW silvia.rotunno@ipsp.cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae TM. Sc. in Molecular and Cellular Biology at University of Bari, I, then, obtained a Master in Bioinformatics techniques and molecular epidemiology applied to infectious diseases, and, finally, a PhD in Biosciences and Territory at University of Molise. I mix dry lab activities, RNA-, smallRNA- and degradome-seq data analysis, with wet lab activities such as PCR, RealTime-PCR and 5’/3’RACE. During my experiences at CREA-VE and IPSP-CNR, I worked on human samples, grape and Arundo donax, analyzing the…

RESEARCH FELLOW martinoschillaci(AT)cnr.it 011.397.7296 publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae I studied Agricultural Sciences at the University of Florence and Plant and Microbial Biotechnologies at the University of Pisa. In 2021, I earned a PhD in Plant Biology at the University of Melbourne (AU), within a collaboration with the Forschungszentrum Jülich (DE). My project focused on the phenotype and metabolome of model plant Brachypodium distachyon inoculated with the beneficial bacteria Azospirillum brasilense and subjected to low temperatures and low P availability stress. In 2021 I was…
Read MoreVertical Farming: Development of a prototype to produce high value horticultural crops enriched by bioactive molecules (VertiGrow)
VertiGROW is aimed i) to apply high-efficiency light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to drive production of secondary metabolites (SM) in plants by manipulating light spectral composition and ii) to produce a laboratory prototype of LED powered by beyond-silicon innovative photon-to-electron conversion devices to stimulate crop growth and drive SM production. The activities will be developed thanks to the participation of researchers working in the CNR Institutes IPSP, IMM, Nanotec and ICCOM. Growth of plants in response different frequency of radiation emitted and non-targeted metabolomics analysis will be performed thanks to the participation…
