    Abstract The segetal flora of winter crops includes mostly native or archaeophyte annual species that are often strong specialists of their habitats. Threatened by the intensification of agriculture, segetal flora is particularly valuable from a perspective of biodiversity conservation and evolution. Moreover, it contributes to maintain biodiversity in agroecosystems and provides several ecosystem services. The dataset here described was set up to provide the first inventory of the segetal flora of Italian winter cereal crops and allied crop types, the latter including flax and autumn-sown legumes. It includes 24,676 georeferenced occurrence data deriving from 1,240 floristic and phytosociological relevés. The data were collected from the greater part of Italian territory, in a temporal range spanning from 1946 to 2018.

    Abstract Rapidly progressive crescentic glomerulonephritis associated with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA-GN) is a major cause of renal failure. Current immunosuppressive therapies are associated with severe side effects, intensifying the need for new therapeutic strategies. The activation of Mas receptor/Angiotensin-(1-7) axis exerted renoprotection in chronic kidney disease. Here, we investigated the effect of adding the lanthionine-stabilized cyclic form of angiotensin-1-7 [cAng-(1-7)] to cyclophosphamide in a rat model of ANCA-GN. At the onset of proteinuria, Wistar Kyoto rats with ANCA-GN received vehicle or a single bolus of cyclophosphamide, with or without daily cAng-(1-7). Treatment with cAng-(1-7) plus cyclophosphamide reduced proteinuria by 85% vs. vehicle, and by 60% vs. cyclophosphamide, and dramatically limited glomerular crescents to less than 10%. The addition of cAng-(1-7) to cyclophosphamide protected against glomerular inflammation and endothelial rarefaction and restored the normal distribution of parietal epithelial cells. Ultrastructural analysis revealed a preserved GBM, glomerular endothelium and podocyte structure, demonstrating that combination therapy provided an additional layer of renoprotection. This study demonstrates that adding cAng-(1-7) to a partially effective dose of cyclophosphamide arrests the progression of renal disease in rats with ANCA-GN, suggesting that cAng-(1-7) could be a novel clinical approach for sparing immunosuppressants.

    Abstract Background: Aging is associated with metabolic and structural changes causing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine involved in aging-related inflammation.
    Objective: We sought to determine whether IL-1 mediates aging-related changes in the heart, as seen in HFpEF.
    Methods: We studied age-matched young (4-month-old), middle-aged (14-month-old), and old (23-month-old) wild-type (WT) C57BL/6J and IL-1 receptor type I deficient (IL1RI-KO) male mice. Echocardiography was used to evaluate left ventricular (LV) dimensions and systolic/diastolic function, and a pressure transducer was used to measure the LV end-diastolic pressure. Picrosirius red stain was used to assess for myocardial interstitial fibrosis (MIF) at pathology.
    Results: WT and IL-1RIKO mice showed a normal cardiac phenotype at young age, without any differences between the two groups. With aging, the WT mice developed LV concentric hypertrophy (as measured by a significant increase in LV mass [+42%, P < 0.01] and relative wall thickness [+34%, P < 0.01]), whereas the aging IL-1RI-KO mice did not. With aging, the WT mice also developed diastolic dysfunction (as measured by a significant increase in isovolumetric relaxation time [+148%, P < 0.01] and a significantly higher LV end-diastolic pressure [+174%, P < 0.01]), whereas the aging IL1RI-KO did not. Aged WT mice showed a significant increase in MIF (+124%, P < 0.01) at cardiac pathology, whereas the aging IL-1RI-KO did not.
    Conclusions: Genetically-modified mice lacking the IL-1RI receptor, not responsive to IL-1, are protected from aging-related LV hypertrophy, fibrosis, and diastolic dysfunction. These data support a central role of IL-1 in the pathophysiology of aging-related HFpEF.

    Abstract Pyrethrum is a perennial herbaceous plant endemic to the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea, and introduced in large areas of nearly all continents, where it is cultivated for the industrial extraction of pyrethrins. Pyrethrins are a group of six closely related monoterpene esters, widely used as natural insecticides. The world production of natural pyrethrins is lower than the market demand, and a wider introduction of this crop within the Mediterranean agrosystems could be an appealing opportunity for farmers and manufacturers. The availability of adequate amounts of selected plant material to bring into cultivation is, however, one of the major issues. Therefore, the in vitro propagation of elite pyrethrum genotypes could be a suitable alternative to conventional propagation methods. In this paper, we present the results of a 9-year field comparison between pyrethrum plants coming from an in vitro propagation protocol and plants obtained by cutting from the same mother plants. Furthermore, since plantlets derived from in vitro regeneration may experience ploidy changes, we evaluated the stability of the ploidy level of pyrethrum-micropropagated plants by flow cytometry (FCM) analysis. FCM screening revealed no differences among the morphotypes and between them and the mother plant. Likewise, the field evaluation of plants gave no significant differences between flower yields in both groups. Hence, micropropagation was confirmed as an easy, efficient and reproducible method to obtain large quantities of selected pyrethrum genotypes.
