Lionetti Lab - Plant Cell Wall Dynamics, Immunity, and Green Biotechnology

Lionetti Lab investigates the dynamic structure and remodeling of plant cell walls, focusing on their role in growth, defense, and plant–pathogen interactions. Our research combines molecular biology, biochemistry, and glycomics to uncover how plants perceive and respond to microbial attack, and how these processes contribute to immunity and stress tolerance.

Unprecedented high percentage of food waste powder filler in poly lactic acid green composites: synthesis, characterization, and volatile profile

The attractive qualities of plastics lead us, around the world, to an enormous need for plastic goods, which results in their unsustainable overconsumption. Bio-based products are the core concept of circular economy, yet this sector suffers from the high cost of their production. In practice, biopolymers, such as polylactic acid (PLA), are still limitedly used, due to their expensiveness and not outstanding technological properties.
