Clara Conicella

Clara Conicella currently works at the Institute of Biosciences and Bioresources, Italian National Research Council. Clara does research in Agricultural Plant Science and, in particular, genetic and epigenetic regulation of sexual reproduction processes. The most recent projects were dealing with the following topics: Epigenetic control of meiotic recombination in Arabidopsis; Histone post-translational modifications in Arabidopsis ovule development; Identification of genes underlying sexual polyploidization in potato. Currently, she is working on a multi-omics approach for tomato fruit senescence. Techniques include cytological analyses, forward and reverse genetics, RNA silencing, -omics also combined with single-cell.
