Elevata differenziazione genomica nella trota fario nativa italiana: un appello per una gestione indipendente delle popolazioni

La storia evolutiva della trota fario nell’area mediterranea è stata profondamente influenzata dalle fasi glaciali-interglaciali del Quaternario e dagli eventi correlati di estinzione locale e ricolonizzazione. A seguito dell’isolamento prolungato, le isole mediterranee, tra cui la Sardegna, rappresentano importanti hotspot di diversità. Un recente studio filogenetico del genere Salmo basato sull’intero genoma (SEGHERLOO et al., 2021) suggeriva che le trote sarde potrebbero rappresentare una ...

DNA barcoding of minor fish fauna in South Tyrol

The fish fauna of South Tyrol nowadays numbers at least 35 species mostly defined on morphological basis. The majority of originally occurring fish were presumably native to the northern Adriatic catchment, as the alpine divide is considered an absolute migratory barrier for fish. However, in the past fish from north of the Alps have been repeatedly introduced in South Tyrol. In recent years, several genetic studies have been conducted on fish species of angling interest, such as marble trout...

Gene functional studies and gene editing at work to improve the sustainability of viticulture

Being one of the most cultivated tree crops in mid-temperate regions, grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is dangerously affected by the recent and progressive extremization of climatic conditions. This leads to an increase in favorable environments for both existing and emerging fungal pathogens. As a result, pathogen pressure on vineyards is exacerbated, which must be countered with a growing use of fungicides. Today we have the tools to enhance the resilience of this tree species and ensure sust...
