It is known that plant-based ethnomedicine represented the foundation of modern pharmacology and many pharmaceuticals are derived from compounds occurring in plant extracts. This track still stimulates a worldwide investigational activity aimed at identifying novel bioactive products origin. However, discovery endophytic fungi able to produce plant-derived drugs has disclosed new horizons for their availability production on large scale by pharmaceutical industry. In fact, following path...
Endophytic fungi have a great influence on plant health and growth, are an important source of bioactive natural compounds. Organic extracts obtained from the culture filtrate endophytic strain Talaromyces pinophilus isolated strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo) were studied. Metabolomic analysis revealed presence three metabolites, siderophore ferrirubin, platelet-aggregation inhibitor herquline B antibiotic 3-O-methylfunicone. The latter was major metabolite produced by this displayed toxic...
In microbial cultures the production of secondary metabolites is affected by experimental conditions, and discovery novel compounds often prevented re-isolation known metabolites. To limit this, it possible to cultivate microorganisms simulating naturally occurring interactions, where microbes co-exist in complex communities. this work, co-culturing experiments biocontrol agent Trichoderma harzianum M10 endophyte Talaromyces pinophilus F36CF have been performed elicit expression genes which...
Many fungi reported for endophytic occurrence are better known as plant pathogens on different crops, raising questions about their actual relationships with the hosts and other plants in biocoenosis factors underlying lifestyle shift. This paper offers an overview of Lasiodiplodia theobromae (Dothideomycetes, Botryosphaeriaceae), a species to be able colonize many both endophyte pathogen. Prevalently spread tropical subtropical areas, there concerns that it may propagate temperate region...
Recent investigations carried out all over the world have disclosed capacity of a multitude endophytic fungal species/strains to produce bioactive compounds which are same or structurally related those synthesized by their host plants. This intriguing phenomenon has implemented huge research activity aimed at ascertaining nature biological processes underlying this convergence, as well characterize genetic bases biosynthetic schemes. Insights on these basic issues may support...
For some years, the stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) forests of Domitian coast in Campania, Southern Italy, have been at risk conservation due to biological adversities. Among these, tortoise scale Toumeyella parvicornis (Cockerell) has assumed a primary role since its spread Campania began. Observation using remote sensing techniques was useful for acquiring information on health state vegetation. In this way, it possible monitor functioning forest ecosystem and identify existence critical...
Perennial wall-rocket (Diplotaxis tenuifolia (L.) D.C.) is a herbaceous plant belonging to the Brassicaceae with cosmopolitan distribution. Traditionally harvested as spontaneous herb, today it crop species of increasing importance after diffusion ready-to-use salads in vegetable retail markets. Besides relevance food crop, its consumption prompted by consideration traditional medicine several peoples native areas Mediterranean and western Asia based on recognized health beneficial effects....
The rise of the holobiont concept confers a prominent importance to endophytic associates plants, particularly species known be able exert mutualistic role as defensive or growth-promoting agents. finding that many entomopathogenic fungi are harbored within plant tissues and possess bioactive properties going beyond merely anti-insectan effect has recently prompted widespread investigational activity concerning their occurrence functions in crops, aim an applicative exploitation conforming...
Marchantia polymorpha L., also known as common liverwort or umbrella liverwort, is a spore-forming plant belonging to Marchantiaceae family. This thallose has gained importance model plant, mainly because of its global distribution, and easy rapid in vitro culturing. A review the literature shows that dominant compounds this species are undoubtedly sesquiterpenoids bisbibenzyls. Among it worth mention cuparenes, chamigranes thujopsanes. Compounds these classes were found specimens from...
