Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alberto Spada"
- Alberto Spada's recent research focuses on biodiversity genomics, plant developmental biology, and ethnobotany, with notable contributions to the understanding of the European Reference Genome Atlas and plant species development in relation to environmental factors.
- His studies on plants lacking shoot apical meristems reveal how environmental and evolutionary pressures can lead to unique morphological adaptations, particularly in species from the Podostemaceae, Lemnaceae, and Gesneriaceae families.
- Spada has also conducted multi-scale investigations combining phytochemistry and morphology of various species, such as Teucrium fruticans and Wulfen, highlighting the importance of these plants in traditional medicine and their biochemical properties.
