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
