Antonio Di Matteo received his Ph.D. in plant biotechnology from the University of Naples Federico II in 2004 and is now serving as an associate professor at the same institution. His research topics mainly include genomics and transcriptomics in tomato and other Solanaceae; molecular breeding and genomic selection; plant stress responses (abiotic and biotic), including thermotolerance, drought, and cold stress; multi-omics data integration to study post-harvest biology and fruit shelf-life traits; polyploidy and genome stability; small RNA and regulatory networks in plant stress responses and transcriptional control of ascorbic acid metabolism and antioxidant content in tomato; nucleotide diversity; and population genetics.
