Overview

Felice Cervone is affiliated with Sapienza University of Rome in Italy and has contributed extensively to the field of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, with a particular focus on Plant Science. Their work includes research in Molecular Biology, Insect Science, Biotechnology, and even intersects with Sociology and Political Science. The principal topics of their research encompass polysaccharides and plant cell walls, plant-microbe interactions and immunity, plant pathogenic bacteria studies, plant parasitism and resistance, plant stress responses and tolerance, cassava research and cyanide, and plant responses to water stress.

Their publication record includes articles in several journals, with frequent appearances in bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory). Other venues where their work has appeared include Frontiers in Plant Science, Science, Essays in Biochemistry, and PLANT PHYSIOLOGY.

Selected recent papers by Felice Cervone include:

  • Dampening the DAMPs: How Plants Maintain the Homeostasis of Cell Wall Molecular Patterns and Avoid Hyper-Immunity, 2020, Frontiers in Plant Science
  • A plant mechanism of hijacking pathogen virulence factors to trigger innate immunity, 2024, Science
  • Plant immunity by damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), 2022, Essays in Biochemistry
