Reference letter needs correction. I knew Miss XX during the “Physiology and Proteomic” class that I carry out at the Master’s degree students of Plant and Microbial Biotechnology course. The candidate has always been interested and, thanks to her speech, she has immediately showed scientific curiosity. In the second year she asked me to help her with the master’s thesis, entitled “Osmotic and salt stress during Lupinus albus and Lupinus mutabilis germination”. During these months she has had to work together with more experienced colleagues from different nations, showing enthusiasm in the learning process and willingness for the teamwork, as well as organizations and self-employed skills. Complications throughout the lab work has been tackled with the right motivation, allowing her to reach the desired goal on fixed time. She has refined techniques as: plants grow cultivation and biometric analysis; free sugar determination; AAS; Proteins extraction and quantification; SDS-PAGE; statistics analysis. During the discussion of the thesis she demonstrated excellent communication and exposure skills with which she has got the vote of “110 cum laude”, the maximum allowed. In my opinion, she lives up to a PhD experience, which will carry on with passion and reliability from the candidate.

Big city or countryside? I lived my childhood in a countryside, my house was surrounded by green lawns, stream and trees. All that was part of my borther and mine games. We felt free to discover nature with its numerous plants and little insects. There was no traffic or smog, the air was fresh and pure, we eated fruits directly from the trees and we was always in contact with animals. I'm strongly convinced that thanks to all that we grow up healthy, with a great immune system if compared with our firends at school. If I could choose, in the future, I would prefer to grow up my children in a similar place rather than is a city.

Important translation. Can someone correct it? The research activity of prof. XX is mature in more than one university and had included study periods at the Molecular Embryology Laboratory (CNR) in Arcofelice (NA), Differentiating and Mutagenesis Institute (CNR) in Pisa, Agronomic Irrigation Studies Institute (CNR), Botanical Garden in the University of Rome, Compared Anatomy Institute, General Biology and Genetic of Florence University, Plant Physyology Department of Barcelona University. Now he works actively together with the Biochemist Science Department of Florence University and with the Agriculture Genetic Section of the Agriculture Plant Biology Department of Pisa University. During the years 1981-85 he had started and conducted a plant physiology laboratory at the Animal Biology and Genetic Department of Florence University and in 1993 he had organized a molecular plant pathology laboratory at the Polo Scientifico in Sesto Fiorentino of Florence University. In 2002 he is co-founder of “Genexpress” among the Agronomic Biotechnology Department. He had conducted the research activity on the biochemical and genetic perspectives of agriculture and forest fungal disease. He had focalized his attention in few relevant pathogenic factors: pectinolytic enzymes, phytotoxin and suppressors, pathogen products, and phytoalexins synthesis, as plant pathogen resistance factor. Generally, he tried to break up the pathogenic process using biochemistry, mutagenesis and/or in vitro plant culture techniques to highlight biological activity of purposely purified single molecules. During the last years he focused his attention on cerato-ulmin (products by species of genera Ophiostoma, such as the Dutch Elm disease responsible) and cerato-platanin proteins (product by Ceratocystis fimbriate f. sp. Platani, plane tree disease responsible). - He published numerous articles on national and international magazines. - He has been national coordinator and local scientific responsible of MURST 60% Projects, MURST 40% Projects, CNR bi-lateral projects, Mono-disciplinary Nucleus in P.F. RAISA CNR. - He has been part of the National Directive Council of the Plant Pathology Italian Society (SIPaV) - He is an Editor of the Plant Pathology Journal -He took part at the National Scientific Committee during the “XIII International Congress of Molecular Plant.Pathogen Interactions”, July 21-27, 2007, Sorrento, Italy.

Short essay about Genetic The lecture is about Genetic modifications, a collection of techniques with which is possible altering the genetic structure of any living organisms. That concepr has not to be confused with the term Biotechnology, a practice used to produce foods and pharmaceutic products from microorganisms, such as yeast, or their molecular products, such as proteins or secondary metabolites. The professor support genetic modification's techniques as useful in many fields, for instance, to improve desease resistance in plants, improving crop growth ability, prevent or challenge human deseases.

Artists and graphic designers The professor is trying to explain are similarities and differences between art and graphic design. Them are two different artistic form that have in common the porpoise to make an impact in the viewer. To do that, both can rely on a wide range of materials. The artist can use canvas, brushes rather than clay or bronze. The graphic designer has whit him the technology. With these tools adding to the own imagination and originality, they can create visual composition to show an idea. The main difference among these two types of art is the purpose. A painter or a sculptor for example, can express feeling and personal ideas. The artists presence is strong. Furthermore, the opera can be interpreted in more than one way depends of the viewer. On the contrary, the graphic designer has a fixed starting point and must offer a service to a final product. He must give information and specific instruction, he must communicate a message which final purpose is to sell the product.
