Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alessio Aprile"
Alessio Aprile's research primarily focuses on plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses, exploring interactions between plants and their microbial communities, especially in the context of agricultural sustainability.
Recent studies include the characterization of olive endophytic communities, revealing potential beneficial interactions that may help combat diseases like Xylella fastidiosa, and investigating transgenerational effects of chromium stress in Arabidopsis thaliana, highlighting the adaptive capacities of plants under metal stress.
Aprile's work further extends to understanding how environmental conditions, such as drought and cadmium exposure, affect wheat physiology and root morphology, and emphasizes the importance of plant genetics in shaping rhizosphere microbiota for improved crop resilience.
