Photosynthetic orchids associate with mycorrhizal fungi that can be mostly ascribed to the “rhizoctonia” species complex. Rhizoctonias’ phylogenetic diversity covers a variety of ecological/nutritional strategies include, beside symbiosis establishment host plants, endophytic and pathogenic associations non-orchid plants or saprotrophic soil colonization. In addition, orchid (OMF) establish symbiotic relationship an later proliferate in browning rotting tissues. Environmental triggers...
Due to global warming, the cultivation range of many crops is extending at higher altitudes and latitudes exposing plants new climatic environmental conditions, as early spring frosts. To face these issues in a sustainable agriculture context, innovative technologies, use biostimulants manipulation plant microbiota, are emerging. Here, we focused on anarea Northern Italy which olive tree cultivation, traditionally economically-relevant item Mediterranean agriculture, rapidly inland...
Like other plant-microbe symbioses, the establishment of orchid mycorrhiza (ORM) is likely to require specific communication and metabolic adjustments between two partners. However, while modulation plant fungal metabolism has been investigated in fully established mycorrhizal tissues, molecular changes occurring during pre-symbiotic stages interaction remain largely unexplored ORM. In this study, we responses ORM fungus Tulasnella sp. SV6 plantlets host Serapias vomeracea a dual vitro...
SUMMARY Orchid mycorrhiza (OM) represents an unusual symbiosis between plants and fungi because in all orchid species carbon is provided to the host plant by mycorrhizal fungus at least during early stages of development, named a protocorm. In addition carbon, provide with essential nutrients such as phosphorus nitrogen. protocorms, transfer occurs cells colonized intracellular fungal coils, or pelotons. Whereas these vital protocorm OM has been already investigated, there currently no...
Abstract This study aims to elucidate if the regulation of plant aquaporins by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis occurs only in roots or cells colonized fungus at whole root system. Maize plants were cultivated a split‐root system, with half system inoculated AM and other uninoculated. Plant growth hydraulic parameters measured aquaporin gene expression was determined each fraction microdissected cells. Under well‐watered conditions, non‐colonized fractions grew more than fraction. Total...
Abstract Priming modulates plant stress responses before the appears, increasing ability of primed to endure adverse conditions and thrive. In this context, we investigated effect biological (i.e. arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, AMF) agents natural compounds salicylic acid applied alone or combined with chitosan) against water deficit salinity on a commercial tomato genotype (cv. Moneymaker). Effects seed treatments AMF colonization were evaluated, demonstrating possibility using them in...
Placental protein 13 (PP13) exhibits a plasma concentration that increases gradually during normal gestation, process disrupted in preeclampsia, characterized by elevated vascular resistance, re-duced utero-placental blood flow and intrauterine growth restriction. This study investigated PP13’s role tone regulation its molecular mechanisms. Uterine subcutaneous arteries isolated from both pregnant non-pregnant women were precontracted with the thromboxane analogue U46619, exposed to PP13...
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare and life-threatening disease for which pregnancy the postpartum period represent risk factors. Here, we present case of 39-year-old woman at 31st week gestation, who presented with cutaneous haemorrhagic symptoms. The complete blood count showed anaemia, thrombocytopenia, increase in haemolysis indices undetectable ADAMTS13 activity. Acquired TTP was diagnosed, she started daily plasma exchange (PEX) methylprednisolone. After 5 days, an...

In nature, germination of orchid seeds and early plant development rely on a symbiotic association with mycorrhizal (ORM) fungi. These fungi provide the host necessary nutrients facilitate transition from embryos to protocorms. Despite recent advances in omics technologies, our understanding this symbiosis remains limited, particularly during initial stages interaction. To address gap, we employed transcriptomics metabolomics investigate responses occurring fungus Tulasnella sp. isolate SV6...
