Research interests of the group focus on the study of insects, and soil fauna in general, of naturalistic as well as agricultural interest. Methodologies employed are taxonomy, molecular evolution, evolutionary genetics, population genetics, metagenomics, genomics, bioinformatics.
The group works in the following research line: self-incompatibility to improve crops and agricultural production. environmental stresses to study the effects of environmental stresses on plants. genetic traceabiliy and food safety to identify and verify the origin and quality of food products through molecular biology techniques
The BioAgryLab's research activity is aimed at finding sustainable solutions to be adopted in agriculture to increase both crop yield and quality by reducing the use of synthetic chemical fertilizers and pesticides, in accordance with guidelines issued by the European Commission, as well as identifying alternative solutions to address environmental issues related to climate change, such as drought, salinity and increased ozone levels
The new plant variety of the Japanese Sino Plum Dofi Sandra was obtained by the breeders in 1989 by crossing the Black Gold x Brumosa plum varieties.
ZELID is a punctual, multilevel and very low flow water delivery system for autonomous and prolonged irrigation of planters of all sizes and for any use.
The present invention relates to a method for identifying material from Echinacea purpurea in a sample, distinguishing it from material from very similar species such as Echinacea pallida and Echinacea angustifolia, the reagents needed for this method and the kit to make it.
The present invention relates to an apparatus to be used for the production of wine immediately after harvesting the bunches, which consists in separating the berries from the stalk and at the same time dividing the berries into different ripening classes.
The research group has carried out genetic improvement resulting in the production of the new variety of A. cruentus currently called UNIFI6161.
The invention proposes an intelligent apparatus to be used in open fields or greenhouses for expert irrigation management, ensuring efficient use of the water resource.
The present invention concerns a method for the production of olive oils, especially extra virgin, enriched in cellular compounds extracted from the fruit
