Sweet cherries (Prunus avium L.) are highly appreciated fruits for their taste, color, nutritional value, and beneficial health effects. In this work, seven new cultivars of sweet cherry were investigated main quality traits nutraceutical value. The phytochemical profile three classes phenolic compounds the antioxidant activity through high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) spectrophotometric assays, respectively, compared those commonly commercialized...
Pollen-stigma interaction is a highly selective process, which leads to compatible or incompatible pollination, in the latter case, affecting quantitative and qualitative aspects of productivity species agronomic interest. While genes corresponding protein partners involved this specific pollen-stigma recognition have been studied, providing important insights into self-incompatible (SI), many other factors SI response are not understood yet. This work concerns study transglutaminase...
The nutraceutical interest in quinoa (Chenopodium Willd.) seeds is associated with the presence of macronutrients, micronutrients, minerals, vitamins, and polyphenols. In particular, polyphenols contribute to health-promoting effects this food crop, their levels are influenced by environmental conditions. Production recently being explored temperate climate areas, including Italy. aim research was assess profile bioactive compounds two varieties, Regalona-Baer Titicaca, grown northern Italy,...
In clementine, failure of fertilization can result in parthenocarpic fruit development, which has several advantages, such as seedless fruit, longer shelf-life, and greater consumer appeal. Recently, S-RNases have been identified C. grandis, thus revealing that the self-incompatibility (SI) reaction relies on S-RNase gametophytic mechanism. The fundamental role environmental factors, mostly temperature, determining numbers pollen tubes reaching ovary is also well established Citrus. present...
In indoor vertical farms, energy consumption represents a bottleneck for both system’s affordability and environmental footprint. Although switching frequency (sf) crucial factor in determining the efficacy of light emitting diodes (LED) lighting systems converting electricity into light, impact sf is still underexplored. The aim this work was to investigate effect LEDs on productive qualitative responses lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.), also considering resource use efficiency. Plants were...
Apical necroses occurring at the stigmatic end of walnut fruit are quite common on Juglans regia. The typical and specific pathogens this culture such as Xanthomonas arboricola pv. juglandis Gnomonia leptostyla both able to cause black spots apex well all over husk. Amidst apical necroses, brown necrosis (BAN) is caused by ubiquitous polyphagous fungi which produce dark-brown exclusively blossom fruit. economic importance disease related drop that can 20% yield loss. presence severity BAN...
Activity-guided fractionations of Jatropha macrantha Müll. Arg. led to the isolation pomolic acid (1) and euscaphic (2). The potential for inhibition against NF-κB HIF-1α production these two compounds was tested in different tumour cell lines. Compounds 1 2 showed an inhibitory activity SK-MEL-28 (IC50=3.01 ± 0.02 μM 3.78 μM), A549 (IC50=9.97 0.01 10.25 μM) U-373 MG (IC50=6.34 8.85 In addition, on (IC50=1.05 2.71 (IC50=3.63 3.73 (IC50=2.55 3.39 This is first report that isolates from J....
Clinopodium tomentosum (Kunth) Govaerts is an endemic species in Ecuador, where it used as anti-inflammatory plant to treat respiratory and digestive affections. In this work, effects of a ethanolic extract (CTEE), prepared from aerial parts the plant, were investigated on vascular endothelium functions. particularly, angiogenesis activity was evaluated, using primary cultures porcine aortic endothelial cells (pAECs). Cells cultured for 24 h presence CTEE different concentrations (10, 25,...
Abstract Although Tropaeolum tuberosum tubers have been consumed cooked as a folk remedy for the treatment of skin, lungs, liver and kidneys diseases, these uses very limited scientific basis. Therefore, this article develops phytochemical analysis yellow T. with objective to assess whether isolated compounds anti-inflammatory potential in CCD-1109Sk, MRC-5 RWPE-1 cell lines. We performed an extraction using different organic solvents, followed by bioguided chromatographic separation. Four...
