Effects of feeding diets supplemented with fungus myceliated grains on some production, health and oxidation traits of dairy ewes.

2017

The beneficial properties of mushrooms bioactive compounds indicate their potential use as performance enhancing natural additive for livestock animals. This paper reports the preliminary results of a research on the effects of diets supplemented with fungus myceliated grains (FMG) to lactating ewes in terms of intestinal parasites control, milk production and cheese oxidative stability. During 8 weeks, 21 ewes were divided into 3 groups fed with hay ad libitum and 1.3 kg/day per head of one of 3 concentrates with 0, 10 or 20% of FMG. In front of analogous DM and nutrients intake, the ewes fed FMG at higher levels showed a reduction of intestinal parasite infection, a tendency to improve mi…

Zootecnia, per le pecore da latte alimenti integrati con funghi.

2018

I funghi contengono numerosi composti bioattivi, in prevalenza poli- e oligosaccaridi, che sono in grado di svolgere azioni benefiche per la salute umana e li rendono, per questo, veri e propri alimenti funzionali. Questi polisaccaridi, tra i quali il gruppo dei -glucani, hanno mostrato di possedere proprietà immunomodulanti, antibatteriche, antivirali e antifungine, oltre che una certa attività antitumorale. Inoltre, alcuni funghi hanno rivelato spiccati effetti antiossidanti dovuti alla presenza di composti fenolici, inclusi flavonoidi e acidi fenolici, -carotene e vitamine come acido ascorbico e -tocoferolo. Studi recenti riguardanti l’impiego dei funghi e dei prodotti a base di fungh…

Evolution and functional differentiation of recently diverged phytochelatin synthase genes from Arundo donax L.

2019

Plant phytochelatin synthases undergo evolutionarily rapid functional differentiation after duplication, allowing fast and precise adjustment of metal detoxification capacity by modulation of both transcription and enzymatic activity.

OVERVIEW OF SOME TECHNIQUES ON DETECTION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI (A CASE STUDY IN ITALY)

2019

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are mutualistic symbionts widespread among both cultivated and wild plants. They have different beneficial roles including stimulating plant growth and tolerance to wide varieties of biotic as well as abiotic stresses. So,the exact and optimize methods for quantification and detection of these fungi in roots and soils are necessary.These techniques are based on fungal sporesmorphological characterization as well as molecular characterization of fungi in soil or root samples.The work was carried out at the Institute for Sustainable Plant Protection (IPSP) of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR) in Turin. For this purpose, the AM fungal root colonization p…

CHARACTERIZATION OF WATER RELATION TRAITS IN WILD SICILIAN POPULATIONS OF BRASSICA

2015

The aims of this work are to Investigate the variability in water relation traits among wild Brassica relatives adapted to arid and saline environments and to Identify specific differences in physiological traits that may be used to improve cultivated relatives widely used in our diet, such as broccoli, cabbage and kale.

The conservation of the Italian Crop Wild Relatives in the RIBES seed-banks: first data to establish national inventories and conservation priorities.

2016

The authors present the updated results of such census in the Italian Seed Bank Network for native species conservation (RIBES) with an analysis of the contribution to the conservation of the Italian FAO priority CWR. Finally, a national priority list for conservation of CWRs was drawn up and proposed here.
