Main research topics
My research activity within the “Genetics and biotechnologies for the improvement of agro-industrial productions” group at CNR-IBBR in Portici is focused on the investigation of the biosynthetic pathways leading to plant specialized metabolites production, including their regulation and evolution.
Others focus regard
- Study of molecular mechanisms and regulatory networks underlying plant-environmental interactions
- Selection and characterization of genotypes with higher nutritional commercial, nutraceutical quality
- Characterization and improvement of genotypes of ligno-cellulosic biomass crops with increased tolerance to drought and salt stress
