Research interests
Topic Description Research area
Applicazioni biotecnologiche per il miglioramento qualitativo e quantitativo della produzione in orticoltura L'attività di ricerca è finalizzata: 1) all'ottenimento di sviluppo partenocarpico del frutto in specie di interesse agrario; 2) al conferimento di resistenza a virus in piante legnose mediante RNA silencing; 3) all'ottenimento di anticipo della fioritura/fruttificazione in specie di interesse agrario; 4) allo studio di peptidi del frutto con potenziale attività nutraceutica. Biotecnologie vegetali
Agriculture related to crop production, soil biology and cultivation, applied plant biology
Studio delle basi molecolari sottese alla simbiosi e allo sviluppo del frutto L'attività di ricerca è incentrata: 1) sulle risposte precoci messe in atto da piante leguminose in risposta all'infezione da parte di batteri N-fissatori (rizobi); 2) sulle prime fasi di sviluppo del frutto, ed in particolare sull'allegagione che rappresenta la fase di transizione da fiore a frutto. La ricerca ha scopi sia euristici, ovvero volti ad incrementare le conoscenze di base, sia applicativi, ovvero volti al miglioramento qualitativo e quantitativo della produzione in orticoltura.
