Abstract The TLC1 family is one of the four families long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons identified in genome Lycopersicon chilense. Here, we show that this retroelements transcriptionally active and its expression induced response to diverse stress conditions such as wounding, protoplast preparation, high salt concentrations. Several stress-associated signaling molecules, including ethylene, methyl jasmonate, salicylic acid, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic are capable inducing vivo. A...
Rosacea is a common skin condition with quite relevance. It currently affects at least 10% of the European population some point after age 30. chronic disorder that mainly on face and characterized by outbreaks remissions. Under normal circumstances, presents wide range commensal organisms, such as Staphylococcus epidermidis or Demodex folliculorum, but dysbiosis flora plays relevant role in inflammatory processes development disease. Metronidazole (MD) one main treatments indicated to...
Rotavirus (RV) infection is a major cause of acute gastroenteritis in children under 5 years old, resulting elevated mortality rates low-income countries. The efficacy anti-RV vaccines limited underdeveloped countries, emphasizing the need for novel strategies to boost immunity and alleviate RV-induced diarrhea. This study explores effectiveness interventions involving extracellular vesicles (EVs) from probiotic commensal E. coli mitigating diarrhea enhancing preclinical model RV suckling...
PepT1, a proton-coupled oligopeptide transporter, is crucial for intestinal homeostasis. It mainly expressed in small intestine enterocytes, facilitating the absorption of di/tri-peptides from dietary proteins. In colon, PepT1 expression minimal to prevent excessive responses proinflammatory peptides gut microbiota. However, increased colonic linked chronic inflammatory diseases and colitis-associated cancer. Despite promising results animal studies on benefits extracellular vesicles (EVs)...
Species belonging to the genus Populus (poplars) produce a series of defensive proteins in response insect damage. Proteinase inhibitors, polyphenol oxidases, and chitinases are most relevant intensively studied proteins. Most knowledge about relation between these herbivores has been obtained from studies with chewing insects. Nothing is known whether phloem-feeder insects such as aphids able trigger comparable response. In current study, expression genes encoding Kunitz trypsin inhibitor 3...
Neotropical Rhagoletis species are arranged in four groups: nova,psalida,striatella and ferruginea, which include 18 species. On both sides of the Andes, evolution morphological differences among these groups has been suggested to be related Andes uplift process. In order test this hypothesis, a phylogenetic analysis molecular data was performed. The results suggest that: 1) constitute separate group from Paleartic North American species, with only exception being member striatella having...
Truffle (Tuber melanosporum Vitt.) culture is an agroforestry sector in Chile of increasing interest due to the high prices that truffles fetch national market and recent evidence its commercial production possible Chilean climatic soil conditions.In this study, efficiency three methods DNA extraction from a mix 5 g roots both nursery field plants Quercus ilex L. mycorrhized with T. were evaluated, simple reproducible protocol was established.Detection performed by technique cleaved...
Abstract Radiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don) is the most important tree species in Chilean forest economy that was introduced to country 1892. Despite its economical end ecological relevance, no information about genetic diversity today available. Forty individuals of P. radiata, representing all populations breeding program were genotyped with five microsatellite loci order determine and structure plantations. The results indicated that, after introduction mass planting, plantations has...
Food manufacturing wastes, such as olive mill solid waste, tomato pomace and grape are three wastes produced by food industries in the Region of Maule. One simplest strategies for proper disposal these residues is to directly eliminate them cultivation with degrading mesophilic microorganisms, which use their sole carbon source. A fungal strain was isolated from peel used degrade wastes. This effective but partially degraded both pomace. Based on mycelium morphology, sequence part ribosomal...
Efficient protocols for the extraction of microbial DNA from rhizosphere
The management of municipal solid waste (MSW) is one biggest challenges that developing countries are currently facing.Despite several environmental friendly alternatives being available, in Chile 90 % MSW disposed landfills, which produces large amounts greenhouse gases (GHG) by the uncontrolled anaerobic digestion its organic fraction.In addition, way collected and transported increases negative impact to environment, especially when wastes classification not properly performed at...
The use of butanol synthesized from organic waste has been widely studied, but the lack native strains Clostridium and a synthetic medium for its growth remain important barriers to extend use. In this work, it was possible isolate characterize three sp. using Cherry Waste (ChW) as culture medium, contained 106 g L−1 total carbohydrates equivalent glucose, (P2) control containing 20 which demonstrated that isolated natives are producers butanol, used ChW medium. work done is contribution in...
