The Ciona intestinalis immune-related galectin genes (CiLgals-a and CiLgals-b) are expressed by the gastric epithelium.
2017
The transcription of two Ciona intestinalis galectin genes (CiLgals-a and CiLgalseb) is uparegulated by LPS in the pharynxis (hemocytes, vessel epithelium, endostilar zones) which is retained the main organ of the immunity. In this ascidian, for the first time we show, by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization methods, that these two immune-related genes are expressed in the gastric epithelium of naïve ascidians, whereas the galectins appear to be only contained in the intestine columnar epithelium. In addition, according to previous results on the pharynx, the genes are also expressed and galectins produced by hemocytes scattered in the connective tissue surrounding the gut. The ge…
Apulian olive sapwood endophytes to cope with Xylella fastidiosa: community analysis, antagonists screening, colonization efficiency, and genes expre…
2021
This dissertation comprises a series of studies aimed at exploring the cultivable endophytic communities indigenous to the sapwood of Apulian olive cultivars, identifying potential antagonists against Xylella fastidiosa, pauca ST53, and demonstrating their colonization efficiency and associated effects on olive defence-related genes. This work starts with an extensive analysis of cultivable sapwood endophytes from resistant and susceptible cultivars distributed across phytosanitary zones in Apulia. After multiple isolation of endophyte colonies, the results were translated into quantitative indicators. It was found that the resistant cultivar 'Leccino' showed high stability and diversity of…
Genes encoding transcription factors in Glomus intraradices and their expression at the appressoria stage of arbuscular mycorrhiza interactions
2007
International audience; Molecular pathways governing the life cycle of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and their symbiotic interactions with root tissues are not yet fully understood. Most studies fo fungal responses to host plants have targeted developmental stages before root contact (germinating spores), or after root colonization (intraradical mycelium). We are focusing on the early cell events of appressoria contact with the root surface which are essential to the successful outcome of the AM symbiosis. Recent monitoring of Glomus intraradices gene expression at this stage has revealed differential fungal responses to roots of host and non-host (Myc- mutants) M. truncatula (Seddas et…
