Production and chemical characterization of new vegetal PHs and their fractions

Screening of PHs for biostimulant activities on selected crops at early stages of growth using a high-throughput phenotyping approach

Identification of hormone like activity of PHs and their fractions

Evaluation of selected PHs and their fractions for biostimulant activity in lettuce and tomato plants grown  by the application of a multi-omic approach

Assessment of PHs effect on microbial communities, both at leaf and root level, in order to understand the molecular basis of the Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria (PGPB)  biostimulation activity in plants 

Integration of multi-omics data for unravelling the effects of PHs treatments in selected crops grown under optimal and adverse growing conditions
