Abstract Climate is one of the most important drivers local adaptation in forest tree species. Standing levels genetic diversity and structure within among natural populations trees are determined by interplay between climatic heterogeneity balance selection gene flow. To investigate this interplay, single nucleotide polymorphisms ( SNP s) were genotyped 24 to 37 from four subalpine conifers, Abies alba Mill., Larix decidua Pinus cembra L. mugo Turra, across their ranges Italian Alps...
Abstract Silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) is a keystone conifer of European montane forest ecosystems that has experienced large fluctuations in population size during the Quaternary and, more recently, due to land-use change. To forecast species’ future distribution and survival, it important investigate genetic basis adaptation environmental change, notably extreme events. For this purpose, we here provide first draft genome assembly annotation silver genome, established through...
Summary Alpine ecosystems are facing rapid human‐induced environmental changes, and so more knowledge about tree adaptive potential is needed. This study investigated the relative role of isolation by distance ( IBD ) versus adaptation IBA in explaining population genetic structure A bies alba L arix decidua , based on 231 233 single nucleotide polymorphisms SNP s) sampled across 36 22 natural populations, respectively, Alps Apennines. Genetic was for both geographical groups, using analysis...
A candidate gene approach was used to identify levels of nucleotide diversity and genes departing from neutral expectations in coniferous species the Alpine European forest. Twelve samples were collected four that dominate montane subalpine forests throughout Europe: Abies alba Mill, Larix decidua Pinus cembra L., mugo Turra. total 800 genes, originally resequenced taeda across 12 independent trees for each species. Genes assigned two categories, control, defined through homology-based...
Background and Aims The recurrence of wildfires is predicted to increase due global climate change, resulting in severe impacts on biodiversity ecosystem functioning. Recurrent fires can drive plant adaptation reduce genetic diversity; however, the underlying population processes have not been studied detail. In this study, neutral adaptive evolutionary effects contrasting fire regimes were examined keystone tree species Pinus halepensis Mill. (Aleppo pine), a fire-adapted conifer....
Forest tree species of temperate and boreal regions have undergone a long history demographic changes evolutionary adaptations. The main objective this study was to detect signals selection in Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst), at different sampling-scales investigate, accounting for population structure, the effect environment on genetic diversity. A total 384 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) representing 290 genes were genotyped two geographic scales: across 12 populations...
Abstract Genetic responses to environmental changes take place at different spatial scales. While the effect of environment on distribution species' genetic diversity large geographical scales has been focus several recent studies, its potential effects structure local are understudied. Environmental fine‐scale ( FSGS ) were investigated in four Alpine conifer species (five eight populations per species) from eastern Italian Alps. Significant was found for 11 25 populations. Interestingly,...
Chordomas are rare bone tumors arising along the spine. Due to high resistance towards chemotherapy, surgical resection-often followed by radiation therapy-is currently gold standard of treatment. So far, targeted systemic therapies have not been approved. The most frequent molecular alterations include loss PTEN and CDKN2A (encoding p16), being associated with poor prognoses in chordoma patients. Specific inhibitors PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway as well CDK4/6 shown antitumor activity preclinical...
Oak decline is a complex phenomenon, characterized by symptoms of canopy transparency, bark cracks and root biomass reduction. Root health status one the first stress indicators, turnover key process in plant adaptation to unfavourable conditions. In this study, combined effects thinning were evaluated on fine dynamics an oak forest adjoining Italian Pre-Alps comparison acute declining trees with non-declining trees, both without treatment surrounding trees.Dynamics volumetric length density...
Introduction: In addition to sterility testings for common bacteria, from 2006 on we have introduced in our laboratory tests mycobacteria surgical instruments such as bronchoscope and lava-endoscope fluid used their sterilization well. Methods: Bronchology Pneumology SUN departments, doing bronchoscopies, regularly send bronchoscopes washing fluids. department also sends liquids lavaendoscopes. Our standard protocol consists of inoculation directly Lowenstein - Jensen (LJ) solid ground...
