Cecilia Borassi

Cecilia Borassi is a Researcher specializing in plant developmental biology, with a focus on cell wall dynamics, embryogenesis, and pollen tube growth mechanisms. She collaborates on projects such as Mechanotransduction in plant development (2024–present) and Plant Cell Polarity (2023–2025). Her work integrates molecular genetics, biomechanics, and biochemical analysis to study plant cell wall integrity and developmental processes.

Research interests include Arabidopsis genetics, extensin proteins, proline-rich signaling pathways, and the role of mechanotransduction in plant growth. Recent studies explore how protein envelopes protect early embryos and how hydroxylation enzymes regulate pollen tube secretion. She has contributed to peer-reviewed journals like Journal of Experimental Botany and Development.
