Project description:Parthenocarpy—the production of seedless fruits without fertilization—is very useful for fruit cultivation. Among pear cultivars (Japanese, Chinese, and European pears and their interspecific hybrids) subjected to flower emasculation and left unpollinated, only some of the European pears had a stable and high degree of fruit set and fruit enlargement. Almost all the enlarged fruits formed no seeds. Comparison of fruits produced by using emasculation without pollination or with self-pollination ruled out the possibility of stenospermocarpy in these parthenocarpic pears. The results suggested that the abovementioned characteristics were inherited maternally by the next generation and that it should be possible to introduce parthenocarpy into Japanese pears. Neither Chinese nor Japanese pears treated with emasculation and no pollination showed consistently stable fruit set or fruit enlargement. In Chinese pears, these characteristics varied greatly from year to year, and in Japanese pears they were stable but weak. Although in each cultivar highly parthenocarpic fruits weighed slightly less than cross-pollinated ones, the cortexes of the emasculated fruits were enlarged and the fruits were not greatly inferior to those of cross-pollinated ones. By using a customized pear cDNA microarray, we compared the gene expression profiles of highly and weakly parthenocarpic cultivars before flowering. Expression of several phenylpropanoid-related genes and photosystem-related genes differed significantly between the two groups. Some of these genes were contained in the chloroplast genome. These results showed the unique mechanism of genetic parthenocarpy in pome fruits as opposed to non-pome fruits.

Project description:Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory disorder for which a definitive cure is still missing. This is characterized by an overwhelming inflammatory milieu in the colonic tract where a composite set of immune and non-immune cells orchestrate its pathogenesis. Over the last years, a growing body of evidence has been pinpointing gut virome dysbiosis as underlying its progression. Nonetheless, its role during the early phases of chronic inflammation is far from being fully defined. Here we show the gut virome-associated Hepatitis B virus protein X, most likely acquired after an event of zoonotic spillover, to be associated with the early stages of ulcerative colitis and to induce colonic inflammation in mice. It acts as a transcriptional regulator in epithelial cells, provoking barrier leakage and altering mucosal immunity at the level of both innate and adaptive immunity. This study paves the way to the comprehension of the aetiopathogenesis of intestinal inflammation and encourages further investigations of the virome as a trigger also in other scenarios. Moreover, it provides a brand-new standpoint that looks at the virome as a target for tailored treatments, blocking the early phases of chronic inflammation and possibly leading to better disease management.

Project description:Fruits of the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) cultivar MicroTom were investigated. MicroTom wild type and lecer6 mutant fruits with a deficiency in a fatty acid beta-ketoacyl-CoA synthase (LeCER6) were used. Identification and characterization of this insertional mutant has been reported previously (Vogg et al., 2004; Leide et al., 2007). According to the developmental stage of the wild type and lecer6 mutant fruits, samples were composed of 5 to 15 whole fruits with seeds being removed (fruit developmental category 'fruit set' and I). Otherwise, samples contained exclusively the fruit peel, which was removed with a scalpel to a depth of approximately 1 mm (fruit developmental category II to VII). After sampling point the plant material was immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80 C until use.
