Main research topics Since I started my scientific career, I have been fascinated by plant metabolites and, in particular, the genetics behind their control. I am keenly interested in unlocking the molecular regulation of these extraordinary natural compounds to better understand their role in plant cells and also in exploiting them for human needs.

#321 - EV-C@p - EV-C@p: Plant-derived Extracellular Vesicles as novel biotechnological platform for biopharma applications (Progetti Grande Rilevanza 2023)
Going beyond the state-of-the-art and relying on highly interconnected approaches mastered by the applicants, in EV-C@p will setup a novel vegetable-based system for the production of nanovesicles and exploit them as a biotechnological platform for biopharma applications. This will be achieved through the isolation of EVs from organically grown tomato and panax ginseng and by the establishment of their in vitro cell cultures to biomanifacture EVs. By applying emerging biotechnology we will develop engineered EV-based solutions to create next generation nano-delivery systems. The native and the engineered plant EVs will be exploited for their health promoting anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities in vitro. To achieve the above objectives the EV-C@p consortium was created with the participation of two research groups (KHU and CNR) and two SMEs partners, ImmunoVeg from Italy and NIOBiopharmaceuticals from Korea. The project will strengthen the already existing collaborations between the two PIs and create new ones with the SMEs to provide a solid cornerstone for further research efforts of the participants and to make a prompt translation of the research results into new technology and products after the ending of the project. An ambitious staff exchange programme for the transfer of scientific and transferable skills, dissemination and outreach activities were implemented into the scientific plan.

My research activity within the group “Genetics and biotechnologies for the improvement of agro-industrial productions” at CNR-IBBR in Portici is currently focused on the following topics: - Identification of molecular mechanisms and regulatory networks underlying plant-environmental interactions. Using genomic approaches, we investigate the molecular response of tomato to rhizosphere beneficial microorganisms and/or abiotic stresses; - Isolation, cloning and functional analysis of key genes and transcription factors involved in the biosynthesis of relevant secondary metabolites in crop species (Cynara cardunculus var scolymus and Solanum melongena); - Study of mechanisms implicated in the merceological and nutritional value of foods.

Main Scientific Interests Development of mapped genetic resources in tomato, with special emphasis given to populations of marker-defined introgression lines (ILs) originating from interspecific crosses, for a more efficient exploitation of the natural biodiversity stored in unadapted germplasm. Current applications of these genetic resources include QTL analyses for fruit quality traits and integrative systems biology and genomic approaches to gain further insights into the networks regulating key fruit metabolic pathways underlying tomato flavour and nutritional quality. Identification and functional characterization of key genes involved in nutritional and merceological quality in pepper. Metabolic engineering of secondary metabolite pathways for the production of health-related compounds.

Actual Research sectors Analysis of plant reproductive system through molecular approaches. Actually Dr.Pupilli is studying apomixis, that is a clonal plant reproduction by seeds. The overall objective of the research is the isolation of the genetic determinants of apomixis in a wild apomictic species Paspalum simplex with the perspective to develop an apomixis system for crops. Main achievements are: i) characterization and mapping of the apomixis locus, ii) establishing synteny relationships with rice genome, iii) isolation of candidate genes through partial sequencing of apomixis-linked BAC and comparative transcriptomic analysis. Recent Scientific Activities. A) Induction of new variability by somatic hybridization B) Molecular markers of the analysis of natural and inducted genetic A) During the first phase of his career Dr. Pupilli obtained and characterized several somatic hybrid plants combining the genome of alfalfa with those of M.coerulea (S+C), M.arborea (S+A) and M.falcata (S+F). B) After a stage at the MPI of Cologne, Dr. Pupilli used molecular markers to study the genome composition of somatic hybrids and the genetic variability in forage and turf plant populations.
