Abstract Parmelioid lichens are a diverse and ubiquitous group of foliose lichens. Generic delimitation in parmelioid has been state flux since the late 1960s with segregation large, heterogeneous genus Parmelia into numerous smaller genera. Recent molecular phylogenetic studies have demonstrated that some these new genera were monophyletic, not, others, previously believed to be unrelated, fell within single monophyletic groups, indicating need for revision generic delimitations. This study...
Morphological and phylogenetic relationships of the worldwide Mediterranean lichen forming fungus, Parmelina quercina, have been studied. Specimens from western Europe, North America southern Australia were analysed using molecular data (nuITS rDNA, nuLSU rDNA mtSSU rDNA) selected morphological features (upper cortex maculae, scanning electron microscopy examination epicortex, ascospores conidia shape size, amphithecial retrorse rhizines). The results conclusively reveal that: (1) there is...
The first molecular phylogenetic study on a range of Punctelia species is reported, focussing specimens growing in the Iberian Peninsula. Material seven was included analysis. Forty sequences were generated from nuITS and mtSSU rDNA 20 specimens, resultant majority rule consensus tree combined analyses shows four major clades. ulophylla confirmed as distinct species, P. reddenda basal to borreri , perreticulata groups with subrudecta. Samples identified rudecta Canary Islands China occupy...
The new species Lepraria santosii Argüello & Crespo is described from the Canary Islands. It characterized by a crustose to subsquamulose thallus with slightly raised rim and presence of atranorin stictic acid chemosyndrome. currently known Tenerife (Canary Islands), where it grows on soil over basaltic rocks in laurel forest. Twelve sequences ITS region this L. isidiata were obtained analysed downloaded GenBank. Maximum parsimony Bayesian analyses suggest that closely related . latter...
Argüello et al . (2007) found that Parmelina quercina , as circumscribed by Hale (1976), comprised four phylogenetic species which could also be distinguished morphological features and had different distributions: P. carporrhizans (usually rhizinate apothecia, distinct effigurate maculae; oceanic Europe Macaronesia), coleae narrow ascospores, fenestrate North America), elixia (non-rhizinate larger smaller conidia, not or faintly maculate; Australia), (apothecia not, less more rounded...
Extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC-EVs) are gaining interest for medical purposes. The promising therapeutic effects exhibited in both preclinical and clinical studies have suggested that they may become an alternative certain applications to cell-based therapies, which subjected stricter regulations. commercial exploitation of these candidates requires a proper patent strategy the industry public research organizations. Here, we performed global literature...
Abstract Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) seeks to align the research results with needs of society respond current future problems, also encompassing financial instruments, innovative public policies, distribution resources. These policies should prioritize in those areas greatest impact on society, particularly health research, this be focused responding clinical problems population rather than economic impact. A methodology is proposed that uses information from open sources...
