Pomaces obtained from three San Marzano tomato genotypes including the wild type (WT), Sun Black (SB), and colorless fruit epidermis (CL) were dried at 50 °C analyzed for nutritional composition, total polyphenol (TPC), flavonoid (TFC) content, qualitative profile, antioxidant capacity (TAC), antimicrobial activity. Commercial powder (CTRP) was included as a control. No differences detected nutritionally, in TPC activity, but significant changes observed TFC TAC, underlying variation...
The genetic diversity of tomato in Italy and the growing interest high-quality food products highlight importance establishing varietal distinctiveness through molecular strategies to ensure agrifood product quality traceability. In this study, four Italian potato-like leaf (PL) landraces were analyzed: “Spagnoletta di Formia e Gaeta” (SPA) from southern Lazio, “Giagiù” (GIA) “Patanara” (PTN) Campania, “Pomodoro Mola” (MOL) Apulia. These genotyped for potato gene (C), with two PL American...
Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica L.) is a ubiquitous, multi-utility, and under-utilized crop with potential health benefits owing to its nutritional bioactive components. The objective of the work produce powders by drying wild stinging leaves as storable, low-cost functional additive be used in bakery ready-to-cook products. Convective (CD) freeze-drying (FD) were applied on unblanched (U) or blanched (B) leaves, which then milled (NPs). obtained NPs evaluated for selected physicochemical...
Studies on the reproductive dynamics under heat stress are crucial to breed more tolerant cultivars. In tomato, cultivars, breeding lines, and wild species have been evaluated for their response stress. Here, we addressed study a panel of selected landraces representing traditional genotypes that usually show high adaptation local environments. two experiments, spaced by 12 years, set-up an identical experimental design with plants transplanted at different dates expose second field thermic...
Italy is a recognized secondary center of diversification for cultivated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). The study phenotypic and genetic diversity in landrace collections important germplasm conservation valorization. Here, we set up to the collected region Lazio Central Italy, with focus on distinctiveness among landraces attribution membership unnamed accessions. Our regional collection included 32 accessions belonging eight different locally 19 All were gathered from local farmers are...
The treatment of solid cancers with pharmacological all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) concentrations, even if it is a gold standard therapy for the acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL), not always effective due to some resistance mechanisms. Here ATRA T24 cell line, bladder cancer, was investigated. only resistant death when treated at concentrations up 20 µM ATRA, but also able stimulate cellular proliferation. An over-expression fatty binding protein 5 (FABP5) in conjunction retinol-binding...
Abstract The tomato mating system was strongly affected by domestication events. Mutations disrupting self-incompatibility paralleled changes retracting the stigma position (SP) within staminal cone conferred strict autogamy and self-fertility to cultivated forms. Although major genes affecting these have been identified, SP control in domesticated forms retaining a non-inserted or heat-inducible needs elucidation. To widen possibility of identifying genetic determinants, we analysed trait...
