2 2 Membership in scientific societies to date American Society of Horticultural Science Educational activities Research students Graziella Catrambone Degree, University of the Florence Luca Marzi Degree, University of the Florence Synopsis of Research My general research interests lie in the propagation of fruit and ornamental trees. My studies therefore have focused on: 1) Development of methodologies to increase the growth of ornamental trees. 2) Procedures for in vitro regeneration of ornamental recalcitrant species. 3) Improvement of the seed germination of fruit and ornamental trees using different technologies in controlled conditions, in vitro, and in vivo.
