The genetic diversity of 27 garlic accessions (local varieties/landraces) was investigated using five simple sequence repeat (SSR) and six inter-simple (ISSR) markers. SSR genotyping revealed 26 different alleles, while 84 polymorphic bands were produced the ISSR average polymorphism information content (PIC) 0.471 0.465 for markers, respectively. Compared to ISSRs, markers a higher level redundancy, indicating potential duplicates among accessions. analysis molecular variance (AMOVA) based...
Pinna nobilis, an ecologically significant and critically endangered bivalve endemic to the Mediterranean Sea, has been classified as “Critically Endangered” by IUCN due habitat degradation, climate change, mass mortality events caused protozoan parasite Haplosporidium pinnae. Effective conservation efforts require robust molecular tools for species identification genetic monitoring, necessitating development of optimized DNA extraction amplification protocols a non-invasive sampling...
Since the first confirmed records of mass mortality events (MME) in Aegean Sea 2018, Pinna nobilis populations Greek seas have been decimated. To bolster recovery efforts, this study aimed to assess status fan mussel and Ionian investigate potential recolonization through natural recruitment. From May 2022 2023, 163 independent underwater visual surveys were conducted across various locations depths along coastline. A total 4348 P. individuals was recorded, which 87.3% found dead 12.7%...
Eggplant is a widely consumed vegetable, with significant nutritional value and high antioxidant content, mainly due to its phenolic constituents. Our goal was determine the levels of carbohydrates, proteins, total phenolics, anthocyanins, flavonoids, chlorogenic acid, capacity in thirteen eggplant cultivars cultivated Greece identify sequence polymorphisms key regulating genes phenylpropanoid pathway (C4H, HCT, HQT, C3H, F3H, ANS, MYB1), which might relate phytochemical content those...
In this study, five plant species, members of the Lamiaceae family, namely Salvia officinalis L., rosmarinus Spenn, Mentha × piperita spicata L. and Origanum vulgare subsp. hirtum (Link) Ietswaart, were studied for influence harvesting time on herb crop yield, volatile compounds (EOs) content/yield their chemical composition. EOs isolated by means hydro-distillation from different parts at growth stages. Their components analyzed gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The...
Mentha spicata L., Origanum dictamnus and onites L. are aromatic plants that produce very important essential oils. They considered model with beneficial health properties due to their antioxidant content. Enhancing the yield while maintaining quality of oil is significant commercial importance. Salinization drought cause various effects on bioactive constituents in oil. By assessing response these secondary metabolites accumulation different salt stress irrigation levels, this study aims...
Abstract Knowledge of the life history traits, reproductive biology and demography rare species is fundamental for their conservation, yet plant population monitoring uncommon. The restricted ranges Limonium endemic to Mediterranean area, combined with vulnerability specialized littoral habitats, indicate need appropriate conservation measures. We evaluate status estimate future extinction risk three Zakynthos Island in Ionian Islands, Greece ( korakonisicum , phitosianum zacynthium ) using...
