معرفی
Tiziana Pandolfini is an Associate Professor at the Department of Biotechnology, Università degli Studi di Verona. Her research focuses on plant physiology, symbiotic interactions between legumes and rhizobia, and genetic engineering applications for agricultural improvement. She teaches courses in plant biology and physiology, and has been involved in numerous research projects addressing biostimulant efficacy, stress resilience in plants, and RNA interference applications.
Research Interests: Her work explores molecular mechanisms in fruit development, microbial symbiosis, and the use of protein hydrolysates and small molecules (sRNA/peptides) to enhance plant growth. Key areas include biotechnology for crop improvement, plant-microbe interactions, and engineering resistance to pathogens like Sharka virus in fruit crops.
Recent Projects (2022–2025): Current initiatives include developing drought-tolerant crops through genetic and environmental integration, optimizing protein hydrolysate formulations, and studying small RNAs and peptides for disease control in horticultural plants. She also leads projects on magnesium nutrition in vines and microbial biodiversity in ecosystems.
Teaching: She contributes to undergraduate and graduate programs in biotechnology and viticulture, covering plant physiology, fruit crop biotechnology, and stress physiology. Her teaching spans over 20 years with consistent involvement in course design and delivery.
