Dottorato in Agricultural, Food and Environmental Science - XXXVII CicloTutor: Stefano Giovanni La Malfa
- 2021 - 2024: PhD course in Agricultural, Food and Environmental Science, University of Catania (Cycle XXXVII- PON). Research project: Development of molecular markers for the traceability of plants and derived products for the protection of the citrus sector. The aim of the project is the development, through the identification and subsequent validation, of SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) markers aimed at DNA fingerprinting of different sweet orange accessions and their derived products, belonging to the Tarocco cultivar-population. Molecular markers are reliable and easily accessible tools, leading to a precise varietal identification possible at every stage of the production chain, from nursery to table.
