Abstract Cryotherapy of shoot tips is a new method for pathogen eradication based on cryopreservation techniques. Cryopreservation refers to the storage biological samples at ultra‐low temperature, usually that liquid nitrogen (−196°C), and considered as an ideal means long‐term plant germplasm. In cryotherapy, pathogens such viruses, phytoplasmas bacteria are eradicated from by exposing them briefly nitrogen. Uneven distribution viruses obligate vasculature‐limited microbes in allows...
The cultivation of medicinal plants and the production bioactive compounds derived from them are fundamental importance interest, not only at pharmacological level but also in nutraceutical cosmetic industries functional foods, as well plant protection agriculture. In order to respond adequately increased demands global market a quantitative qualitative point view guarantee environmental sustainability productions, it is necessary resort innovation tools, such tissue culture vitro...
Abstract Introduction The transplanted heart (HTX) has pathophysiological differences compared to standard hearts, partially understood. Early detection of abnormal grafts function (e.g. cellular or immune-mediated rejection, coronary artery vasculopathy) by advanced echocardiography can significantly improve management and prognosis HTX patients. Speckle tracking-derived global longitudinal strain (GLS) myocardial work (MW) have lower values in healthy patients controls. How much these...
Goji (Lycium barbarum L.) has recognized nutritive and antioxidant properties many products are commercialized for health in food market. Besides its use, goji been the subject of more than 2000 years traditional Chinese medicine, using berries, root bark, leaves. Here, potential liquid culture temporary immersion system (TIS) by bioreactor PlantformTM was tested large-scale production high-quality shoots subsequent total phenols flavonoids. The three cycles differently influenced shoot...
This paper was characterized by a bibliometric and systematic review on the database ISI Web of Science, aiming to provide an update main points addressed regarding Temporary Immersion Systems (TIS) for micropropagation tree species. It pointed out that frequency time immersion were one parameters studied in papers 35% these worked with eucalyptus The problem reported hyperhydricity, but it overcome via procedures such as: a) air injection into system, b) increasing intervals decreasing c)...
Abstract Somatic embryogenesis, as a promising biotechnological tool for many conifer trees, has never been applied the Abies nebrodensis species. Although all encouraging results previously obtained by EU LIFE (European program) funded projects in over ten years, critically endangered Sicilian fir remains alarmingly close to extinction. In this study, we reported first protocol of somatic embryogenesis from mature zygotic embryos . Seeds adult trees with specific identification numbers (IN)...
The combined approaches between ex situ and in conservation are of great importance for threatened species urgent need protection. This study aims to develop concrete actions preserve the relic 30 adult trees Sicilian fir (Abies nebrodensis) from extinction using long-term germplasm liquid nitrogen (LN, −196 °C). Pollen grains were collected, their moisture content (MC) was measured. Then, viability (2,3,5-tryphenyl tetrazolium chloride, TTC), vitro germinability, enzymatic antioxidant...
