    Abstract Hemp (Cannabis sativa) is a well-known crop with a great potential to produce fibers without being excessively water and nutrient demanding. Moreover, hemp can be considered a viable and sustainable alternative to reach a cleaner production in the garment industry. Accurate information on fiber traits will enhance the exploitation of hemp in textile and biofuel industry. The aim of this work was to investigate the cyto-histological characteristics of hemp primary and secondary fibers through semi-thin sections and a light microscopy approach. To this purpose, we cultivated in open field a dioecious hemp variety under two different sowing densities and two different fertilization regimes. We confirmed the prominent role of sex in influencing all the analyzed traits; moreover, we found the possibility to mitigate it by changing the sowing density and the fertilization regime. In particular, the cell wall thickening in primary fibers was reduced in female plants by high fertilization. In male plants, combining high fertilization and low density, secondary fibers development is deeply increased. Cell area, in both plant sexes, was reduced by high fertilization. Operating on these simple agronomic aspects could thus result in the desired amount of fibers/lignin, depending on the final purpose of hemp cultivation.

    Abstract Angiosperms exhibit a wide diversity of fruit with different anatomical traits which reflect their main characteristics, such as metabolism and dispersal system. Fruit pericarp, which in true fruit derives exclusively from ovarian tissues, is always composed by three portions known as exocarp, mesocarp and endocarp; nevertheless, relevant differences exist between and within the different fruit types. This anatomical complexity of plants is strictly related to their metabolism, as different plant organs, tissues or cells are characterized by a specific distribution or concentration of metabolites. A correct understanding of fruit histology and anatomy is thus crucial to support studies regarding fruit metabolomics and genetics. So, in this review, we summarize the main dry and fleshy fruits characteristics, using a common vocabulary to understand clearly their similarity and their differences.

    Abstract Environmental pollution is one of the most pressing global issues, and it requires priority attention. Environmental remediation techniques have been developed over the years and can be applied to polluted sites, but they can have limited effectiveness and high energy consumption and costs. Bioremediation techniques, on the other hand, represent a promising alternative. Among them, phytoremediation is attracting particular attention, a green methodology that relies on the use of plant species to remediate contaminated sites or prevent the dispersion of xenobiotics into the environment. In this review, after a brief introduction focused on pollution and phytoremediation, the use of plant biostimulants (PBs) in the improvement of the remediation effectiveness is proposed. PBs are substances widely used in agriculture to raise crop production and resistance to various types of stress. Recent studies have also documented their ability to counteract the deleterious effects of pollutants on plants, thus increasing the phytoremediation efficiency of some species. The works published to date, reviewed and discussed in the present work, reveal promising prospects in the remediation of polluted environments, especially for heavy metals, when PBs derived from humic substances, protein and amino acid hydrolysate, inorganic salts, microbes, seaweed, plant extracts, and fungi are employed.

  8. Article: Fruit size in different plum species (genus Prunus L.) is determined by post-bloom developmental processes and not by ovary characteristics at anthesis

    Abstract The mechanisms driving drupe differentiation have been investigated in several plant species. Often, bigger fruits derive from bigger ovaries; however, in other species, ovary size is similar and differences in fruit size are determined by differences in post-bloom tissue development. The aim of this work was to investigate whether, in three Prunus species (P. salicina, P. domestica and P. cerasifera), fruit size is related to ovary size or whether it depends on post-bloom developmental processes. This study used microscope image analyses to evaluate ovary wall thickness at anthesis and fruit mesocarp thickness at final fruit size. In the same tissues (i.e. ovary wall and fruit mesocarp), we also measured cell area and number of cellular layers. Ovary wall thickness did not differ among the genotypes tested (except for Mirabolano, the smallest-fruited genotype, having slightly bigger ovaries) and was not correlated to either cell size or to the numbers of cell layers. Fruit mesocarp thickness varied three fold among genotypes and was strongly and positively correlated to the number of cell layers, and weakly and negatively correlated to cell size. No correlation was found between fruit weight (or mesocarp thickness or number of cell layers) and the respective ovary characteristic: bigger fruits did not derive from bigger ovaries. Fruit weight was instead related to the fruit-to-ovary weight and cell layer number ratios, indicating that fruit size in these species is related not to ovary characteristics, but to processes that occur to a different extent after bloom, particularly to a greater cell division. In particular, P. salicina cv. TC Sun, which had the biggest fruit, had a longer post bloom cell division activity and/or a higher post bloom cell division rate. Indeed, the number of TC Sun cell layers increased four times, while in the other species the mesocarp had twice the ovary layers. TC Sun also had the lowest increase in mesocarp cell area. This study represents a starting point to understand the mechanisms of cell division and expansion in Prunus species and their implication for fruit size management.

    Abstract Clinically relevant bone metastases are a major cause of morbidity and mortality for prostate cancer patients. Distinct phenotypes are described: osteoblastic, the more common osteolytic and mixed. A molecular classification has been also proposed. Bone metastases start with the tropism of cancer cells to the bone through different multi-step tumor-host interactions, as described by the "metastatic cascade" model. Understanding these mechanisms, although far from being fully elucidated, could offer several potential targets for prevention and therapy. Moreover, the prognosis of patients is markedly influenced by skeletal-related events. They can be correlated not only with bone metastases, but also with "bad" bone health. There is a close correlation between osteoporosis-a skeletal disorder with decreased bone mass and qualitative alterations-and prostate cancer, in particular when treated with androgen deprivation therapy, a milestone in its treatment. Systemic treatments for prostate cancer, especially with the newest options, have improved the survival and quality of life of patients with respect to skeletal-related events; however, all patients should be evaluated for "bone health" and osteoporotic risk, both in the presence and in the absence of bone metastases. Treatment with bone-targeted therapies should be evaluated even in the absence of bone metastases, as described in special guidelines and according to a multidisciplinary evaluation.
