Party autonomy regarding jurisdiction under the property regimes regulations

2021

The main accomplishment of the Property Regimes Regulations lies in their bringing more coherence into the cross-border family law adjudication. In the field of international jurisdiction, they strive to align the competence in couples? patrimony disputes to that in succession and in separation proceedings, or else to align the competence of the courts to the applicable law. These tendencies are clearly visible in the Regulations? provisions on choice of court agreements. Namely, the Regulations allow for such agreements, but severely limit parties? choice and the possible effects of these clauses. When succession or separation proceedings are pending, it is often only possible to institute…

Phytochemical profile and phototoxicity of eleven Hypericum species extracts

2017

The genus Hypericum (family Hypericaceae) contains 484 species, one of which, Hypericum perforatum, is largely used in medicine as antidepressant, as well as antinflammatory, and antimicrobial agent. Hypericin, together with the other naphthodianthrone derivatives named hypericins (the red pigments recognized as partially responsible for biological activities of this plant), has been identified largely in more than 300 Hypericum species (Skalkos et al., 2006). Particularly, hypericins are one of the most potent naturally occurring photodynamic agents; indeed, upon light irradiation, they very effectively induce apoptosis and/or necrosis of cancer cells (Karioti et al., 2010) and thus might …

PIANTE ERBACEE SPONTANEE DELLA CITTA’ DI PALERMO: ASPETTI ECOLOGICI, AGRONOMICI E APPLICATIVI

Ruolo delle piante officinali nella salvaguardia della diversità negli ambienti mediterranei

2010

Le aree mediterranee italiane presentano una notevole biodiversità vegetale, nell’ambito della quale particolare importanza assumono le piante aromatiche e medicinali, collettivamente definite “officinali”. Nel presente lavoro, si riportano i risultati di alcune prove preliminari di coltivazione in pieno campo di tre specie autoctone di interesse officinale. Le prove sono state condotte presso l’azienda sperimentale “Sparacia” (Cammarata – AG) negli anni 2006 e 2007. In linea generale, le specie saggiate hanno mostrato una buona adattabilità all’ambiente di coltivazione; la loro introduzione su scala aziendale potrebbe pertanto contribuire alla conservazione ed alla salvaguardia della biodi…

Effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis on the nitrogen uptake of three durum wheat genotypes from two different organic sources

Soil inoculation with symbiotic microorganisms promotes plant growth and nutrient transporter genes expression in durum wheat

2015

In a field experiment conducted in a Mediterranean area of inner Sicily, durum wheat was inoculated with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), or with both to evaluate their effects on nutrient uptake, plant growth, and the expression of key transporter genes involved in nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) uptake. These biotic associations were studied under either low N availability (unfertilized plots) and supplying the soil with an easily mineralizable organic fertilizer. Regardless of N fertilization, at the tillering stage, inoculation with AMF alone or in combination with PGPR increased the aboveground biomass yield compared to the uninocula…

Polyester microplastic fibers in soil increase nitrogen loss via leaching and decrease plant biomass production and N uptake

2022

Abstract Microplastic contamination, like other global change factors, can induce effects on ecosystem functions and processes, affecting various soil biophysical properties. However, effects of such contaminants on nutrient cycles in agroecosystems are still poorly understood. We here performed two pot experiments to investigate the effect of polyester microplastic fibers (PMFs) on soil physical properties, nitrogen cycle, and plant performance in a maize-based agroecosystem. Moreover, we followed the N loss via leaching in soil contaminated or not with PMFs by simulating heavy rainfall events that mimic a future scenario of climate change. Our results show that soil contaminated with PMFs…
