MAIN RESEARCH AREAS
1) Characterization of mutants of the pathogenic fungi Fusarium graminearum, Pyricularia oryzae and Botrytis cinerea, obtained by site-specific gene knock-out, for the development of new strategies for containing the diseases caused by these pathogens.
2) Identification of natural molecules with antimicrobial activity able of inhibiting the germination and/or growth of phytopathogenic fungi, with the final aim of controlling their infections in the field and/or in post-harvest.
3) Characterization of fungal proteins and metabolites to induce resistance in plants of agricultural interest.
