Ivan Visentin - PlantStressLab

Research Associate (RTDB), Plant Physiology

Expertise in molecular plant physiology, his researches focus on the interaction between strigolactones (SLs), abscisic acid (ABA) and some microRNAs under drought conditions in tomato and Arabidopsis plants. In particular recently, his research has been investigating the role played by mir156 and the SLs under recurring water stress conditions in tomato. He is also involved in the management of StrigoLab, an academic spin-off focused on the production and developing of synthetic SL-related molecules and of SL-enriched biostimulants (www.strigolab.eu).
