A comprehensive evaluation of metabolically engineered Cynara cardunculus calli as platform for valuable fatty acid derivatives production Open
Increasing global demand for energy along with climate change claims for sustainable and renewable energy sources. In this study, we investigated transcriptomic changes in two cardoon (Cynara cardunculus L. var. altilis) calli cell culture…
Marine microalgae extracts as plant biostimulant to boost baby leaf lettuce production Open
The application of biostimulants derived from microalgae may represent a promising strategy to enhance fruit and vegetable yields, particularly in the context of ongoing climate change. Yet, comprehensive studies assessing the efficacy of …
Isolation and Biophysical Characterization of Extracellular Vesicles from Hairy Root Cultures Open
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-bound, non-replicating particles released by virtually all types of cells. EVs concentrate and deliver a plethora of biomolecules driving very important biological functions, including intercellula…

Proteome Reprogramming and Acquired Stress Tolerance in Potato Cells Exposed to Acute or Stepwise Water Deficit Open
Water deficit negatively impacts crop productivity and quality. Plants face these challenges by adjusting biological processes and molecular functions according to the intensity and duration of the stress. The cultivated potato ( Solanum t…
Multiomic Profiling and Neuroprotective Bioactivity of Salvia Hairy Root-Derived Extracellular Vesicles in a Cellular Model of Parkinson’s Disease Open
Collectively, our findings provide compelling evidence that EVs isolated from the hairy roots of Salvia species are promising, non-mammalian alternative for the design of novel therapies targeting neurological disorders.

An Integrated Multilevel Approach Unveils Complex Seed–Nanoparticle Interactions and Their Implications for Seed Priming Open
Nanotechnology has the potential to revolutionize agriculture with the introduction of engineered nanomaterials. However, their use is hindered by high cost, marginal knowledge of their interactions with plants, and unpredictable effects r…
Development of a High Oleic Cardoon Cell Culture Platform by SAD Overexpression and RNAi-Mediated FAD2.2 Silencing Open
The development of effective tools for the sustainable supply of phyto-ingredients and natural substances with reduced environmental footprints can help mitigate the dramatic scenario of climate change. Plant cell cultures-based biorefiner…
Abiotic Stresses Elicitation Potentiates the Productiveness of Cardoon Calli as Bio-Factories for Specialized Metabolites Production Open
Cultivated cardoon (Cynara cardunculus L. var altilis) is a Mediterranean traditional food crop. It is adapted to xerothermic conditions and also grows in marginal lands, producing a large biomass rich in phenolic bioactive metabolites and…

Genomic selection (GS) is a predictive approach that was build up to increase the rate of genetic gain per unit of time in breeding programs. It has emerged as a valuable method for improving complex traits that are controlled by many gene…
Physiological, Biochemical, and Metabolic Responses to Short and Prolonged Saline Stress in Two Cultivated Cardoon Genotypes Open
Cultivated cardoon is a multipurpose crop with adaptability to limiting environments. Two genotypes (“Bianco Avorio” and “Spagnolo”) were comparatively characterized in response to short and prolonged 100 mM NaCl stress in hydroponics. Sal…
Coactivation of MEP-biosynthetic genes and accumulation of abietane diterpenes in Salvia sclarea by heterologous expression of WRKY and MYC2 transcription factors Open
Plant abietane diterpenoids ( e . g . aethiopinone, 1- oxoaethiopinone, salvipisone and ferruginol), synthesized in the roots of several Salvia spp, have antibacterial, antifungal, sedative and anti-proliferative properties. Recently we ha…
