The Nutrient Use Efficiency in intensive agriculture is lower than 50% for macronutrients. This feature results unsustainable financial and environmental costs. Nanofertilizers are a promising application of nanotechnology agriculture. use nanofertilizers an efficient safe manner calls knowledge about the actual effects nanoproducts on plant metabolism eventually carrier release kinetics nutrient accumulation. Hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) nanoparticles (nHA) have interesting potential to...
Flavonoids are a group of secondary metabolites widely distributed in plants that represent huge portion the soluble phenolics present grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.). These compounds play different physiological roles and often involved protection against biotic abiotic stress. Even if flavonoid biosynthetic pathways have been largely characterized, mechanisms their transport accumulation cell wall vacuole still not completely understood. This review analyses known uptake grapevine, with...
Programmed cell death (PCD) is a finely tuned process of multicellular organisms. In higher plants, PCD regulates many developmental processes and the response host plants to incompatible pathogens (hypersensitive response). Four types have been described in mainly associated vacuole rupture, that followed by appearance typical hallmarks (i.e. nuclear DNA fragmentation shrinkage). However, some cases collapse preceded an early alteration other subcellular organelles, such as mitochondria....
In recent years, biofungicides have drawn increasing interest in vineyards for a more sustainable integrated and copper-limited pest management. Among alternatives, botanicals could represent valuable tools, being rich sources of biologically active compounds. Conversely to the well-known antioxidant biological properties relation health benefits, investigation on bioactivity hot pungent Capsicum sp. products against fungal phytopathogens is still scarce. Therefore, present study aimed at...
Abstract Understanding the response of salt marshes to flooding is crucial foresee fate these fragile ecosystems, requiring an upscaling approach. In this study we related plant species and community multispectral indices aiming at parsing power remote sensing detect environmental stress due in lagoon marshes. We studied Salicornia fruticosa (L.) L. associated along a soil texture gradient nine northern Italy. considered (i.e., richness, dry biomass, height, matter content) individual traits...
The generation of H 2 O by isolated pea stem mitochondria, oxidizing either malate plus glutamate or succinate, was examined. level almost one order magnitude higher when mitochondria were energized succinate. succinate‐dependent formation abolished malonate, but unaffected rotenone. lack effect the latter suggests that working with a proton motive force below threshold value required for reverse electron transfer. activation pyruvate alternative oxidase reflected in an inhibition formation....
In grapevine, the anatomy of xylem conduits and non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs) content associated living parenchyma are expected to influence water transport under limitation. fact, both NSC features play a role in plant recovery from drought stress. We evaluated these traits petioles Cabernet Sauvignon (CS) Syrah (SY) cultivars during stress (WS) recovery. CS, response was consumption, supporting hypothesis that starch mobilization is related an increased supply maltose sucrose,...
Abstract The need to minimise the impact of phytosanitary treatments for disease control boosted researchers implement techniques with less environmental impact. development technologies using molecular mechanisms based on modulation metabolism by short dsRNA sequences appears promising. intrinsic fragility polynucleotides and high cost these can be circumvented nanocarriers that protect bioactive molecule enabling efficiency delivery leaf surface extending its half-life. In this work, a...
Abstract Rising temperatures due to climate change are expected interplay with biological invasions, and may enhance the spread growth of some alien species upon arrival in new areas. To successfully invade, a plant needs overcome multiple barriers. Among crucial life stages, seed germination greatly contributes final assembly community. Several studies have suggested that success is related their high longevity soil. Hence, our aim test if potential seeds present bank will be further...
Bilitranslocase is a rat liver plasma membrane carrier, displaying high‐affinity binding site for bilirubin. It competitively inhibited by grape anthocyanins, including aglycones and their mono‐ di‐glycosylated derivatives. In plant cells, anthocyanins are synthesized in the cytoplasm then translocated into central vacuole, mechanisms yet to be fully characterized. The aim of this work was determine whether homologue bilitranslocase expressed carnation petals, where it might play role...
