Plant Biochemistry and Physiology
Our main research lines are:
1 ) Role and mechanism of action of oligogalacturonides in plant-pathogen interactions (Prof. De Lorenzo)
2 ) Role of pectin in plant growth, development and bioconversion of biomass (Prof. Cervone)
3 ) Study of cell wall biochemical traits associated with the resistance of plants to pathogens (Prof. Bellincampi)
4) Omics approaches in the study of plant development and immunity (Prof. Mattei)
5) Study of LysM-containing receptor-like kinases in plant responses to stress (Dott. Ferrari)
