معرفی
Kriton Kalantidis is a Professor at the Department of Biology, University of Crete, where he has been active since the 1990s. He earned his PhD in 1995 from the University of Nottingham and specializes in molecular plant biology, epigenetics, and viroid pathogenesis. His research bridges fundamental genetics with applied agricultural virology.
Research Interests
Dr. Kalantidis investigates RNA silencing pathways in plants, focusing on their roles in stress response, viroid infection, and transgene regulation. His work spans environmental biology, marine organisms (diatoms), and genetic mechanisms in plant development and defense.
Publication Trends: His recent articles emphasize RNA interference, viroid-host interactions, and molecular plant responses to pathogens. Studies on diatoms and chloroplast development highlight his interdisciplinary approach combining genetics, biochemistry, and environmental adaptation.
Collaborations: He works closely with the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (IMBB-FORTH) and contributes to Mediterranean agricultural virology through field diagnostics and experimental studies.
