Dear Dr. Emmanuel Kumatia,
I am Sara Di Lonardo, an environmental biologist, permanent researcher at the Research Institute on Terrestrial Ecosystems of the Italian National Research Council (IRET-CNR). I currently work on various topics even related to plant stress and characterization.
I got curious about your activities. In my lab we have the possibility to characterize plant material with FTIR technique (DRIFT and PAS) and in some way predict some chemicals in plant material.
Do you think this could be of interest for a collaboration? What kind of plants have you characterized?
Thank you for your attention.
Best wishes,
Sara

Dear Colleagues, it’s my pleasure to share with You our Plants Journal Special Issue: “Weaponizing Plants: Biocontrol and Biosecurity in Plant Protection”. Climate change, plants and human health are closely linked, since the environment, plant health and food safety are parts of the same system. In fact, crop yield and plant products quality are, directly or indirectly, affected by climate alterations. Adverse climatic conditions often promote the occurrence of different abiotic stresses, which can have the effect of reducing or enhancing susceptibility to biotic stresses (pests or pathogens). The agricultural productivity challenges, posed by the climate change, can be overcome… Read more »
