The European Construction Sector Observatory outlined that green building envelopes as roofs and walls contribute to the reduction of energy demand CO2 emissions due air conditioning in summer periods, mitigation heat islands urban areas. For this reason, understanding about contribution greening infrastructures on buildings sustainable use for is urgent. This paper focuses analysis a vertical surface provided with Parthenocissus quinquefolia (L.) Planch., winter deciduous species, cover...
The promotion of renewable energy represents a target the European 2020 strategy for growth. Plant biomass and organic wastes from agriculture represent an effective resource to be exploited sustainable rural development, optimizing land use, diversifying entrepreneurship. Cereals are considered promising producing crop in temperate regions Europe used both fuel alcohol biogas production. In particular, triticale shows number advantages such as high grain yield even marginal environments,...
Biochar shapes soil environment and plant growth. Nevertheless, the mechanisms associated with improved biomass microbioma in low metal contaminated soils are still unclear. In this study, influence of biochar on physico-chemical properties, performance, rhizosphere microbiota durum wheat was investigated at above- belowground levels. Two kinds from different feedstocks (wood chips straw pellets) two Italian varieties, named Duilio Marco Aurelio, were analyzed greenhouse using a nutrient...
Abstract Genes from the DREB family are involved in plant’s responses to dehydration and possibly play a role their ability tolerate water stress. Understanding relationship between stress tolerance expression of specific genes requires isolation characterisation sequences that may be involved. We report gene Triticum durum , namely TdDRF1 which belongs produces three forms transcripts through alternative splicing. The profile was assessed by real‐time reverse transcription–polymerase chain...
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a relevant risk factor for the development of asthma in children. We recruited cohort 104 children with AR and re-evaluated them after 5 years. considered ARIA classification. All patients, who had moderate to severe persistent at baseline, developed symptoms. These results strongly indicate that severity may be an important increases
L’industria alimentare e delle bevande rappresenta un settore manifatturiero leader in Europa. Nel 2012, l’industria agroalimentare italiana, includendo agricoltura, industria di trasformazione, vendita al dettaglio, servizi altre componenti correlate, ha raggiunto il 17% del PIL nazionale. L’intero sistema consuma ingenti quantita combustibile fossile. Questo manoscritto esamina comparto dell’industria Italia nel contesto europeo, focalizzando sul ortofrutticolo, trattando le principali...
TESLA (Transfering Energy Save Laid on Agroindustry) is a EU project pointing to the reduction of energy consumption and improvement efficiency in key agro-food sectors' cooperatives, as those processing fruit vegetables. After general analysis consumptions during first phase project, processes responsible for higher these vegetable industries, cold storage, have been identified. In second few case studies aimed at proposing customized solutions reducing wastage improving specific selected...
This study aims to highlight the major effects of biochar incorporation into potting soil substrate on plant growth and performance in early stages five elite Italian varieties durum wheat ( Triticum ). The biochars used were obtained from two contrasting feedstocks, namely wood chips straw, by gasification under high temperature conditions, applied a greenhouse experiment either as pure or nutrient-activated incubation with digestate. results showed that specific genotypes well different...
Abstract The genus Aegilops L. has been intensively investigated due to its close relationship with wheat ( Triticum L.) as contributor of B and D subgenomes. Because their vast genetic diversity, species represent a rich source alleles agronomic interest, which could be used widen the gene pool improve tolerance diseases, pests, drought, cold other environmental stresses. We report isolation characterization Dehydration Responsive Factor 1 DRF1) in three accessions Ae. speltoides coming...
A drought-related gene belonging to the Dehydration Responsive Element Binding protein (DREB) family has been reported and characterized in durum wheat. Unlike other DREB -homologous genes, it consists of four exons three introns produces transcripts by an alternative splicing mechanism. The sequence was analysed a number varieties/lines/accessions wheat, triticale wheat genome donors, Aegilops speltoides , A. tauschii Triticum urartu, order evaluate variability detect interesting molecular...
