Bellucci M, Mostofa M, Weraduwage S, Xu Y, Abdelrahman M, De Gara L, et al.
Plant Direct . 2024 Jul; 8(7):e617. PMID: 38973810
Isoprene, a volatile hydrocarbon, is typically emitted from the leaves of many plant species. Given its well-known function in plant growth and defense aboveground, we examined its effects on root...

Esteban R, Pollastri S, Brilli F, Garcia-Plazaola J, Odriozola I, Michelozzi M, et al.
Physiol Plant . 2024 Jun; 176(3):e14395. PMID: 38922932
Bryophytes desiccate rapidly when relative humidity decreases. The capacity to withstand dehydration depends on several ecological and physiological factors. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) may have a role in enhancing tolerance...

Lombardi M, Bellucci M, Cimini S, Locato V, Loreto F, De Gara L
Plants (Basel) . 2024 Apr; 13(8). PMID: 38674478
The increase in soil salinization represents a current challenge for plant productivity, as most plants, including crops, are mainly salt-sensitive species. The identification of molecular traits underpinning salt tolerance represents...

Russo A, Winkler J, Ghirardo A, Monti M, Pollastri S, Ruocco M, et al.
Front Plant Sci . 2024 Jan; 14:1309747. PMID: 38173923
Plants are central to complex networks of multitrophic interactions. Increasing evidence suggests that beneficial microorganisms (BMs) may be used as plant biostimulants and pest biocontrol agents. We investigated whether tomato...

Monti M, Mancini I, Gualtieri L, Domingo G, Beccaccioli M, Bossa R, et al.
Physiol Plant . 2023 Oct; 175(5):e14044. PMID: 37882283
We analyzed the changes in the volatilome, proteome, stomatal conductance, salicylic and jasmonic acid contents of a susceptible and a moderately resistant genotype of common bean, Phaseoulus vulgaris L., challenged...

Proietti S, Falconieri G, Bertini L, Pascale A, Bizzarri E, Morales-Sanfrutos J, et al.
J Exp Bot . 2023 Apr; 74(14):4225-4243. PMID: 37094092
Plant roots can exploit beneficial associations with soil-inhabiting microbes, promoting growth and expanding the immune capacity of the host plant. In this work, we aimed to provide new information on...

Burgess A, Masclaux-Daubresse C, Strittmatter G, Weber A, Taylor S, Harbinson J, et al.
Food Energy Secur . 2023 Apr; 12(1):e435. PMID: 37035025
The growing world population and global increases in the standard of living both result in an increasing demand for food, feed and other plant-derived products. In the coming years, plant-based...

Pinheiro C, Emiliani G, Marino G, Fortunato A, Haworth M, De Carlo A, et al.
Int J Mol Sci . 2023 Feb; 24(4). PMID: 36835502
Distinct photosynthetic physiologies are found within the genus, both C3-type and C2-type representatives being known. As C2-physiology is an adaptation to drier environments, a study of physiology, biochemistry and transcriptomics...

Pollastri S, Velikova V, Castaldini M, Fineschi S, Ghirardo A, Renaut J, et al.
Plants (Basel) . 2023 Jan; 12(2). PMID: 36679046
Isoprene-emitting plants are better protected against thermal and oxidative stresses, which is a desirable trait in a climate-changing (drier and warmer) world. Here we compared the ecophysiological performances of transgenic...

Velikova V, Dani K, Loreto F
J Exp Bot . 2022 Nov; 74(3):688-706. PMID: 36420758
Photolytic generation of nitric oxide (NO), isoprene, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) pre-dated life on Earth (~4 billion years ago). However, isoprene-ROS-NO interactions became relevant to climate chemistry ~50 million...
