Antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of various Greek garlic genotypes
(2018)Recent studies show a significant variation in antioxidant and antimicrobial properties between the various garlic genotypes mostly due to differences in chemical composition and bioactive compounds content. The aim of the ... -
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus inocula from coastal sand dunes arrest olive cutting growth under salinity stress
(2020)Cultivation of olive trees covers large coastal areas of land in Mediterranean regions, many of them characterized by low soil fertility and exposed to salinity and seasonal drought. In this frame, we developed mixed ... -
Bioactive properties of Sanguisorba minor L. cultivated in central Greece under different fertilization regimes
(2020)In this study, the chemical characterization and bioactive properties of S. minor cultivated under different fertilization rates (control, half rate and full rate) were evaluated. Twenty-two phenolic compounds were identified, ... -
Biostimulants application: A low input cropping management tool for sustainable farming of vegetables
(2021)Biostimulants, are a diverse class of compounds including substances or microorganism which have positive impacts on plant growth, yield and chemical composition as well as boosting effects to biotic and abiotic stress ... -
Chemical composition and bioactive properties of: Sanguisorba minor Scop. under Mediterranean growing conditions
(2019)Sanguisorba minor Scop. is a perennial plant native to the Mediterranean region which exhibits several medicinal activities. In the present study, plant growth, chemical composition, and antitumor and antimicrobial properties ... -
Colonization of legumes by an endophytic Fusarium solani strain FsK reveals common features to symbionts or pathogens
(2019)Plant cellular responses to endophytic filamentous fungi are scarcely reported, with the majority of described colonization processes in plant-fungal interactions referring to either pathogens or true symbionts. Fusarium ... -
The combined and single effect of salinity and copper stress on growth and quality of Mentha spicata plants
(2019)Copper is essential for plant growth, but in excess may cause adverse effects on plant physiology. Harmful effects are also caused by plant exposure to salinity (NaCl) due to the excessive use of fertilizers, soil degradation ... -
Cytological and other aspects of pathogenesis-related gene expression in tomato plants grown on a suppressive compost
(2006)• Background and Aims: Recent studies have shown that certain composts may trigger indirect defence mechanisms by sensitizing the plant to create an increased state of resistance, similar to systemic acquired resistance. ... -
An endophytic Fusarium–legume association is partially dependent on the common symbiotic signalling pathway
(2020)Legumes interact with a wide range of microbes in their root systems, ranging from beneficial symbionts to pathogens. Symbiotic rhizobia and arbuscular mycorrhizal glomeromycetes trigger a so-called common symbiotic ... -
Essential oil content and composition, nutrient and mycorrhizal status of some aromatic and medicinal plants of Northern Greece
(2010)A field survey was conducted in three northern Greek mountain areas (Chortiatis, Ossa, and Pieria) to investigate the mycorrhizal and nutritional status, and the essential oil content and composition of common medicinal ... -
An ethanol extract of Hawaiian turmeric: Extensive in vitro anticancer activity against human colon cancer cells
(2015)Context Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a food spice and colorant reported to be beneficial for human health. Curcumin (diferuloylmethane) is the major ingredient in turmeric, and existing data suggest that the spice, in ... -
A Fusarium solani endophyte vs fungicides: Compatibility in a Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. radicis-lycopersici – tomato pathosystem
(2018)The potential of FsK, a non-pathogenic endophytic Fusarium solani strain, to be utilized as a biocontrol agent in combination with nine selected fungicides registered in tomato crops in Greece was evaluated. In vitro ... -
A hairy-root transformation protocol for Trigonella foenum-graecum L. as a tool for metabolic engineering and specialised metabolite pathway elucidation
(2020)The development of genetic transformation methods is critical for enabling the thorough characterization of an organism and is a key step in exploiting any species as a platform for synthetic biology and metabolic engineering ... -
Lettuce facing microcystins-rich irrigation water at different developmental stages: Effects on plant performance and microcystins bioaccumulation
(2017)This study investigated the microcystins (MCs)-rich irrigation water effect on lettuce of different developmental stages, i.e. during a two months period, covering the whole period from seed germination to harvest at ... -
Lotus SHAGGY-like kinase 1 is required to suppress nodulation in Lotus japonicus
(2019)Glycogen synthase kinase/SHAGGY-like kinases (SKs) are a highly conserved family of signaling proteins that participate in many developmental, cell-differentiation, and metabolic signaling pathways in plants and animals. ... -
Metal nanoparticles: Phytotoxicity on tomato and effect on symbiosis with the Fusarium solani FsK strain
(2021)The effect of copper (Cu-NPs, CuO-NPs), silver (Ag-NPs) and zinc oxide (ZnO-NPs) nanoparticles (NPs) on plant growth, physiological properties of tomato plants and their symbiotic relationships with the endophytic Fusarium ... -
Multi-species relationships in legume roots: From pairwise legume-symbiont interactions to the plant - Microbiome - soil continuum
(2021)Mutualistic relationships of legume plants with, either bacteria (like rhizobia) or fungi (like arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi), have been investigated intensively, usually as bi-partite interactions. However, diverse symbiotic ... -
Plant terpenoid metabolism co-opts a component of the cell wall biosynthesis machinery
(2020)Glycosylation is one of the most prevalent molecular modifications in nature. Single or multiple sugars can decorate a wide range of acceptors from proteins to lipids, cell wall glycans and small molecules, dramatically ... -
