Physiological and molecular interactions among plants and the environmental constrains
In this research area, I tried to disclose some of the biological and molecular mechanisms involved in woody plant’s reaction to abiotic stresses moving from cell/tissue to whole crop level. At cell/tissue level I studied the molecular and biochemical involved in the reaction to temperature (chilling and freezing stress), drought and salinity, mineral nutrient deficiencies (Fe), pollution effects (ozone and heavy metals stress in particular) and also global change (increasing CO2 levels) aspects. In these type of studies I used woody plant having an immediate interest for agricultural production such as olive, peach, kiwifruit and poplar. The basic idea was to understand how these crops for fruit (olive, peach, kiwifruit) and wood (poplar) production resist to abiotic stresses and how we can improve by crop management or genetic improvement strategies their resistance traits.
Fruit composition and antioxidant compounds
In this research area, my studies were aimed to prove the health promoting effects of woody plant fruits (apple, grape, olive) and derivate products (juices, oil, …) since them are a very important source of polyphenolic compounds. In one of the first study we applied the peroxynitrite anion (ONOO- ; a free radicals involved in numerous degenerative pathologies) test to verify the antioxidant properties of different grapevine and apple varieties as well as how to maximize these compounds in fresh fruits or juices.
Woody plant germplasm conservation
Plant biodiversity recovery, conservation and valorization strategies are crucial processes for the preservation of ancient crop varieties and production practices in small and marginal agricultural areas. Moreover, a detailed knowledge of plant genetic variability is important in order to correctly preserve the germplasm and eventually use it for future genetic improvement program. The two mani systems studied were:
- Olive-growing areas of Tuscany and Liguria, which are characterized by a number of different olive varieties - most of them still unknown and/or partially described or characterized.
- Hilly and mountainous regions in Tuscany (Casentino, Comune di Zeri, Capannori, Elba) and Liguria (Provincia di La Spezia) that are characterized by a fast population decline and loss of several agricultural activities due to strong international competition, farmer ageing and more attractive economic activities (industry, commerce and tourism) in the surrounding areas
ICT and DSS technologies in agriculture.
In this area I supervise field activities dealing with the application at regional level (Toscana and Liguria) of ICT and DSS technologies for the monitoring of grapevine and olive fruit maturation dynamics and plant phenology.
