Overview

Renato D'Ovidio is affiliated with Tuscia University in Italy and specializes in Agricultural and Biological Sciences, with a focus on Plant Science. Their research primarily addresses areas within plant disease resistance and genetics, plant-microbe interactions and immunity, plant virus research studies, wheat and barley genetics and pathology, and genetics and plant breeding.

The scientist has contributed to several recent publications, with notable papers including:

  • The Xylanase Inhibitor TAXI-I Increases Plant Resistance to Botrytis cinerea by Inhibiting the BcXyn11a Xylanase Necrotizing Activity, 2020, published in Plants
  • Identifying profiles of SSR and SNP markers in cultivars of tetraploid wheat: physical and chemical analysis, 2020, published in Eurasian Chemical Communications

Renato D'Ovidio has collaborated with multiple co-authors throughout their scientific career. Frequent collaborators include:

  • Silvio Tundo
  • Maria Chiara Paccanaro
  • Ibrahim Elmaghraby
