Biography
Donatella Danzi has obtained PhD in Plant Genetics and Biotechnology, University of Bari (Italy). During the PhD course she worked on identification and characterization of plant genes involved in the production of fuctional molecules. After that period, she continued her activity with post-doc within the frame of a project on plant phenotyping using high throughput phenotyping platform to evaluate the response to water and nutrient stress in plants. She is involved in a research regarding the assessment of digestible fibers and sugars in wheat straw, comparing different wheat genotypes in order to identify the most profitable genotype as feedstock for biofuel production.
