In vivo and in vitro investigation of skin anti-inflammatory effect of Sumac (Rhus coriaria L.)NARA Subscribed
Background Sumac ( Rhus coriaria L., Anacardiaceae) fruit is receiving a growing attention as potential nutraceutical and cosmetic ingredient. It is appreciated either as a spice and medicinal remedy in Middle East countries. The application of fruits preparations to skin injuries emerged from ethnopharmacological studies, sustained by few experimental studies on wound healing. The present work, based on previous evidence of i...
Background Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium that has been identified as a causative agent in the development of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastric cancer. Current eradication therapies, based on antibiotic combination, are suffering from lack of patient compliance and primary antibiotic resistance. The traditional use and the scientific literature both report the gastroprotective role of natural extracts containin...
This study evaluated the genetic variability and traceability potential of farmed European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) populations from a fish farm located in Petrosino (Marsala, Sicily) (FAO 37), using microsatellite markers. A total of 64 D. labrax and 63 S. aurata individuals were genotyped with species-specific multiplex panels (9 and 10 loci, respectively). High levels of polymorp...
Crabs are the most widely studied marine crustaceans due to their high economic value, ecological significance, and worldwide range in the subtropics and tropics zones. In this study, we adopted a molecular barcoding approach for rapid identification of blue crab species by sequencing the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene (COI), which has previously been used for phylogenetic analysis in wide taxonomic groups,...
The ams proteins and the amylovoran biosynthetic pathway: an extensive bioinformatic studyNARA Subscribed
The genus Erwinia includes plant-pathogenic, non-pathogenic and even opportunistic human pathogens. Among them, Erwinia amylovora is one of the most studied species, as the etiological agent of the relevant necrotic plant disease fire blight. Its most important pathogenicity factor is amylovoran, an exopolysaccharide essential in the formation of a protective biofilm used by the bacterium to escape the plant protection mechani...
Pyramiding different fire blight resistance genes and QTLs in future apple cultivars is the most eco-friendly way to combat this disease. Identification of strong fire blight resistance donors, and introgression of their resistance into apple breeding material are a continuing effort of breeding programs. Thus, enormous effort is been put into breeding research to understand host – pathogen interactions and mechanisms of resis...
