Important translation. Can someone correct it? The research activity of prof. XX is mature in more than one university and had included study periods at the Molecular Embryology Laboratory (CNR) in Arcofelice (NA), Differentiating and Mutagenesis Institute (CNR) in Pisa, Agronomic Irrigation Studies Institute (CNR), Botanical Garden in the University of Rome, Compared Anatomy Institute, General Biology and Genetic of Florence University, Plant Physyology Department of Barcelona University. Now he works actively together with the Biochemist Science Department of Florence University and with the Agriculture Genetic Section of the Agriculture Plant Biology Department of Pisa University. During the years 1981-85 he had started and conducted a plant physiology laboratory at the Animal Biology and Genetic Department of Florence University and in 1993 he had organized a molecular plant pathology laboratory at the Polo Scientifico in Sesto Fiorentino of Florence University. In 2002 he is co-founder of “Genexpress” among the Agronomic Biotechnology Department. He had conducted the research activity on the biochemical and genetic perspectives of agriculture and forest fungal disease. He had focalized his attention in few relevant pathogenic factors: pectinolytic enzymes, phytotoxin and suppressors, pathogen products, and phytoalexins synthesis, as plant pathogen resistance factor. Generally, he tried to break up the pathogenic process using biochemistry, mutagenesis and/or in vitro plant culture techniques to highlight biological activity of purposely purified single molecules. During the last years he focused his attention on cerato-ulmin (products by species of genera Ophiostoma, such as the Dutch Elm disease responsible) and cerato-platanin proteins (product by Ceratocystis fimbriate f. sp. Platani, plane tree disease responsible). - He published numerous articles on national and international magazines. - He has been national coordinator and local scientific responsible of MURST 60% Projects, MURST 40% Projects, CNR bi-lateral projects, Mono-disciplinary Nucleus in P.F. RAISA CNR. - He has been part of the National Directive Council of the Plant Pathology Italian Society (SIPaV) - He is an Editor of the Plant Pathology Journal -He took part at the National Scientific Committee during the “XIII International Congress of Molecular Plant.Pathogen Interactions”, July 21-27, 2007, Sorrento, Italy.
