معرفی
Prof. Mario Pezzotti is a Full Professor at the Department of Biotechnology, University of Verona. He specializes in Agricultural Genetics and Functional Genomics, focusing on grapevine (Vitis vinifera) development, transcriptomics, and genetic improvement. His research explores molecular mechanisms governing berry ripening, gene regulation networks, and epigenetic factors. He leads projects like GRAPEDIA and INTEGRAPE, aiming to integrate genomic resources for viticulture. Teaching includes modules on Plant Genetics, Molecular Biology, and Viticultural Science. Administrative roles include Department Director and membership in PhD boards. His lab, Genomica Funzionale, develops genomic and transcriptomic analysis tools. Collaborations with spin-offs like EDIVITE and Microbion highlight applied research in biotechnology.
Research Interests: Agricultural Genetics, Plant Genomics, Functional Genomics, Vitis vinifera Biology, Transcriptomics, Epigenetics, Viticultural Biotechnology.
Key Projects: GRAPEDIA (Grapevine Genomics Encyclopedia), Regulation of gene expression in grapevine, INTEGRAPE (Data integration for grapevine improvement).
Publications: Recent works focus on berry development phenology, WRKY gene networks, and NAC transcription factors. Highlights include molecular phenology scales and genomic resource catalogues.
