Abstract Background Usually the reference genes used in gene expression analysis have been chosen for their known or suspected housekeeping roles, however variation observed most of them hinders effective use. The assessed lack validated emphasizes importance a systematic study identification. For selecting candidate we developed simple silico method based on data publicly available wheat databases Unigene and TIGR. Results stability 32 was by qRT-PCR using set cDNAs from 24 different plant...
In addition to the immature edible flower heads, cultivation of globe artichoke (Cynara cardunculus L. var. scolymus (L.) Fiori) generates substantial quantities by-products, including leaves, stems, and roots, which constitute potential sources bioactive compounds prebiotic dietary fiber. Preserving agricultural biodiversity promoting socioeconomic development are essential for enhancing domestic production fostering innovation. search new biomolecules with antioxidant properties, this...
Bois noir is an important disease of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.), caused by phytoplasmas. An interesting, yet elusive aspect the bois "recovery", i.e., spontaneous and unpredictable remission symptoms damage. Because conventional pest management ineffective against noir, deciphering molecular bases recovery beneficial. The present study aimed to understand whether salicylate- jasmonate-defence pathways might have a role in from grapevine. Leaves healthy, noir-diseased noir-recovered plants...
The effect of iron (Fe) and sulphur (S) deprivation on sulphate uptake assimilation pathways was investigated in durum wheat by analysing the expression genes coding for major transporters enzymes involved reduction: high-affinity (TdSultr1.1 TdSultr1.3), ATP sulphurylase (TdATPSul1 TdATPSul2), APS reductase (TdAPR), sulphite (TdSiR), O-acetylserine(thiol)lyase (TdOASTL1 TdOASTL2), serine acetyltransferase (TdSAT1 TdSAT2). Further experiments were carried out to detect changes activities...
Plant response mechanisms to deficiency of a single nutrient, such as sulfur (S) or iron (Fe), have been described at agronomic, physiological, biochemical, metabolomics, and transcriptomic levels. However, agroecosystems are often characterized by different scenarios, in which combined nutrient deficiencies likely occur. Soils becoming depleted for S, whereas Fe, although highly abundant the soil, is poorly available uptake because its insolubility soil matrix. To this end, earlier reports...
Common bean cultivation has historically been a typical component of rural economies in Italy, particularly mountainous and hilly zones along the Apennine ridge central southern regions, where production is focused on local landraces cultivated by small-scale farmers using low-input systems. Such are at risk genetic erosion because recent socioeconomic changes communities. One hundred fourteen accessions belonging to 66 still being grown Lazio region were characterized multidisciplinary...
Abstract Background The Protein Disulfide Isomerase (PDI) gene family encodes several PDI and PDI-like proteins containing thioredoxin domains controlling diversified metabolic functions, including disulfide bond formation isomerisation during protein folding. Genomic, cDNA promoter sequences of the three homoeologous wheat genes encoding "typical" had been cloned characterized in a previous work. purpose present research was cloning characterization complete set like bread ( Triticum...
Recovery of apple trees from proliferation was studied by combining ultrastructural, cytochemical, and gene expression analyses to possibly reveal changes linked recovery-associated resistance. When compared with either healthy or visibly diseased plants, recovered showed abnormal callose phloem-protein accumulation in their leaf phloem. Although cytochemical localization detected Ca(2+) ions the phloem all three plant groups, concentration remarkably higher cytosol trees. The patterns five...
Abstract Characterization of the relationship between sulfur and iron in both Strategy I II plants, has proven that low availability often limits plant capability to cope with shortage. Here it was investigated whether adaptation deficiency tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum L.) plants associated an increased root sulfate uptake translocation capacity, modified dynamics total thiols accumulation roots shoots. Most transporter genes belonging Groups 1, 2, 4 were significantly upregulated...
This study addresses the question of interference between iron (Fe) nutrition and cadmium (Cd) toxicity at level growth performance, phytosiderophores (PS) release, micronutrient accumulation expression genes involved in Fe homeostasis barley seedlings, a plant with strategy II-based response to shortage. Cd exposure induced responses similar those genuine deficiency also Fe-sufficient plants. Most PS biosynthesis secretion (HvNAS3, HvNAS4, HvNAS6, HvNAS7, HvNAAT-A, HvDMAS1 HvTOM1) by...
Abstract Background To limit the impact of downy mildew disease grapevine and reduce need to recur chemical treatments, an effective strategy might be recovering adaptive resistance traits in both cultivated wild V. vinifera germplasm . Considering that stilbenes represent most important class phytoalexins Vitaceae , constitutive expression transcriptional activation all functional members stilbene synthase gene family were analysed a group nine genotypes following artificial infection with...
Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is the second most significant species within Allium genus worldwide, widely used in cooking and both traditional modern medicine due to its beneficial biological therapeutic properties. In Italy, diverse pedo-climatic conditions historical–cultural fragmentation have led development of various garlic landraces, prized for their unique organoleptic qualities cultural importance. This study aimed assess intra-varietal diversity uniqueness two red landraces from...
The effects of progressively higher CO2 levels on the foliar antioxidant status were studied by growing soybean (Glycine max Merrill cv. Cresir) plants at decreasing distances from natural sources geothermal origin in central Italy. When compared with neighbouring controls grown under normal concentration (C), leaves 2 × C, 7 C and more than 20 showed a substantial reduction size ascorbate pool activity Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase; both content ascorbic acid peroxidase declined recovered to...
The present study focused on the molecular, morphological, and nutritional characterisation of a globe artichoke landrace at risk genetic erosion still cultivated in municipality Orte (Lazio Region, Central Italy) therefore named "Carciofo Ortano". Molecular analysis based SSR ISSR markers was carried out 73 genotypes selected random from 20 smallholdings located countryside 17 accessions landraces/clones belonging to main varietal types Italy. results confirmed that Ortano" belongs...
