DISTRIBUTION OF BOTRYOSPHAERIACEAE SPECIES ASSOCIATED WITH GRAPEVINE DECLINE IN WESTERN SICILY.

2011

Recently, the pathogenicity of different Botryosphaeraceae species on grapevines has been reported from many European and extra-European areas. During summer 2008, in a Sicilian vineyard located in the Marsala area (TP), we observed a decline induced by Lasiodiplodia theobromae. The occurrence and quite rapid spread of the disease seemed to support the regional variability of the species in question, which is retained a tropical and subtropical pathogen to different trees. In the last two years, the decline syndrome has been observed in the following other grape-growing areas of western and central Sicily: Alcamo and Salemi (TP), Montevago (AG) and Milena (CL). From declining plants showing…

The fight against grapevine pathogens is mainly carried out by pesticides, the continued use of which is harmful to the environment and the health of users and consumers. The main organizations in charge of viticulture set as a priority the research and use of alternatives to chemical control. However, the genetic improvement of the vine is prohibited in AOC vineyards to preserve the varietal typicity, partly responsible for the quality of the wines. In addition, research undertaken some fifteen years ago reveals that plants have their own immune defenses, which they activate on contact with the microorganisms they recognize via molecules called elicitors. In this context, the objective of …

2014

Papillomas of teats and udders in cows may cause skin lesions, thelitis, mastitis and poor milking resulting in economic losses. We describe an outbreak of bovine papillomavirus (BPV) and successful treatment with a purified extract of Quillaja saponaria bark (Quil-A).

An initial comparative map of copy number variations in the goat (Capra hircus) genome

2010

Abstract Background The goat (Capra hircus) represents one of the most important farm animal species. It is reared in all continents with an estimated world population of about 800 million of animals. Despite its importance, studies on the goat genome are still in their infancy compared to those in other farm animal species. Comparative mapping between cattle and goat showed only a few rearrangements in agreement with the similarity of chromosome banding. We carried out a cross species cattle-goat array comparative genome hybridization (aCGH) experiment in order to identify copy number variations (CNVs) in the goat genome analysing animals of different breeds (Saanen, Camosciata delle Alpi,…

Cannabinoid control of brain bioenergetics: Exploring the subcellular localization of the CB1 receptor

2014

Brain mitochondrial activity is centrally involved in the central control of energy balance. When studying mitochondrial functions in the brain, however, discrepant results might be obtained, depending on the experimental approaches. For instance, immunostaining experiments and biochemical isolation of organelles expose investigators to risks of false positive and/or false negative results. As an example, the functional presence of cannabinoid type 1 (CB1) receptors on brain mitochondrial membranes (mtCB1) was recently reported and rapidly challenged, claiming that the original observation was likely due to artifact results. Here, we addressed this issue by directly comparing the procedures…

La conservazione "open-air" delle rovine ed il principio della “non-dislocazione"

2009

Gran parte del dibattito contemporaneo verte sul “come” tutelare i resti dell’archeologia, consentendone nel contempo il pubblico godimento. Oggi si comprende quanto sia necessario, fin dalla pianificazione di una campagna di scavo, interagire con i professionisti di altre discipline, i quali si occupano delle loro scoperte per consegnarle al godimento della collettività. Su di una rovina architettonica non si può fare quello che si può fare in un museo indoor, sia per presentare degli oggetti con certi apparati esplicativi che ne determinano il senso, sia per esporli diversamente quando cambiano le interpretazioni o si impongono nuove ideologie. Conservare uno scavo, innanzitutto, non è la…
