Morphological and molecular characterization of Micromeria croatica (Lamiaceae), an endemic and potentially valuable horticultural species of the Dinaric Alps

Abstract: Due to climate extremes and limited natural resources, especially water, we can expect increased demand in the future for species that can better tolerate climate extremes such as drought. One potentially valuable horticultural species is the endemic species of the Dinaride Mountains Micromeria croatica (Pers.) Schott (family Lamiaceae). It grows in the crevices of carbonate rocks, extending from an altitude of 150 m to more than 2000 m. This study aims to provide additional insight into the genetic and morphological diversity of this endemic species, focusing on valuable horticultural traits. To achieve this goal, morphological and molecular analyses were performed on ten natural populations. Through STRUCTURE and PCoA analyses, ten M. croatica populations were placed into western and eastern genetic groups, with several individuals from western populations assigned to the eastern group and vice versa. These atypical individuals assigned to the new genetic group by BAPS analysis indicate gene flow between western and eastern populations. Similarly, an analysis of molecular variance revealed fewer genetic differences than within studied populations. Both PCA and CANDISC analysis based on eleven morphological traits largely confirmed the existence of two slightly different genetic groups. Two populations containing plants with the most flowers per shoot, one with white-flowered individuals, one with the roundest leaves, and one with the narrowest leaves proved to be the most horticulturally valuable. The genetic and morphological variability found should be a sufficient basis for the potential selection of M. croatica populations and individuals for horticultural purposes.

European genetic resources conservation in a rapidly changing world : three existential challenges for the crop, forest and animal domains in the 21st century

Abstract: Even though genetic resources represent a fundamental reservoir of options to achieve sustainable development goals in a changing world, they are overlooked in the policy agenda and severely threatened. The conservation of genetic resources relies on complementary in situ and ex situ approaches appropriately designed for each type of organism. Environmental and socioeconomic changes raise new challenges and opportunities for sustainable use and conservation of genetic resources. Aiming at a more integrated and adaptive approach, European scientists and genetic resources managers with long experience in the agricultural crop, animal and forestry domains joined their expertise to address three critical challenges: (1) how to adapt genetic resources conservation strategies to climate change, (2) how to promote in situ conservation strategies and (3) how can genetic resources conservation contribute to and benefit from agroecological systems. We present here 31 evidence-based statements and 88 key recommendations elaborated around these questions for policymakers, conservation actors and the scientific community. We anticipate that stakeholders in other genetic resources domains and biodiversity conservation actors across the globe will have interest in these crosscutting and multi-actor recommendations, which support several biodiversity conservation policies and practices.
Keywords: agroecology, climate change, in situ conservation, multi-actor engagement, policy

Improving the surface properties of additive-manufactured Inconel 625 by plasma nitriding
Danijela Anica Skobir Balantič, Črtomir Donik, Bojan Podgornik, Aleksandra Kocijan, Matjaž Godec, 2023, original scientific article

Abstract: As a surface-hardening technique, plasma nitriding is a common procedure for improving the properties of conventional Ni-based alloys. The diffusion of nitrogen hardens a layer on the surface of the alloy, leading to better wear resistance and a higher coefficient of friction, as well as a higher surface hardness. This study reports the effect of plasma nitriding on additive-manufactured (AM) Inconel 625 (IN625) compared to its conventional manufactured and nitrided counterparts. The samples produced with the laser powder-bed fusion (LPBF) process were subsequently plasma nitrided in the as-built condition, stress-relief annealed at 870 °C and solution treated at 1050 °C. The plasma nitridings were carried out at 430 °C and 500 °C for 15 h. The growth kinetics of the nitride layer of the AM samples depends on the prior heat treatments and is faster in the as-built state due to the specific cellular structure. The lower nitriding temperature leads to the formation of expanded austenite in the nitride layer, while at the higher nitriding temperature, the expanded austenite decomposes and CrN precipitation occurs. The XRD and SEM analyses confirmed the presence of two layers: the surface layer and the diffusion layer beneath. The lower nitriding temperature caused the formation of expanded austenite or a combination of expanded austenite and CrN. The higher nitriding temperature led to the decomposition of the expanded austenite and to the formation/precipitation of CrN. The higher nitriding temperature also decreased the corrosion resistance slightly due to the increased number of precipitated Cr-nitrides. On the other hand, the wear resistance was significantly improved after plasma nitriding and was much less influenced by the nitriding temperature.

Novejši pristopi k zdravljenju mezotelioma plevre
Danijela Štrbac, Vita Dolžan, 2023, published scientific conference contribution

Abstract: Pleuralni mezoteliom je redek tumor katerega zdravljenje kljub sodobnemu pristopu z imunoterapijo ne prinaša želenih rezultatov, zaradi slabše imunološke odzivnosti tumorja in njegove genetske raznolikosti. Novejši pristopi k zdravljenju se osredotočajo predvsem na tumorske vakcine, CA R-T terapijo in gensko terapijo. Raziskovanje miRNA pa odkriva tudi nove biološke označevalce pri mezoteliomu.

Phytochemicals and their correlation with molecular data in micromeria and Clinopodium (Lamiaceae) taxa
Dario Kremer, Valerija Dunkić, Ivan Radosavljević, Faruk Bogunić, Daniella Ivanova, Dalibor Ballian, Danijela Stešević, Vlado Matevski, Vladimir Ranđelović, Eleni Eleftheriadou, Zlatko Šatović, Zlatko Liber, 2022, original scientific article

Abstract: A study of the phytochemical and molecular characteristics of ten Micromeria and six Clinopodium taxa (family Lamiaceae) distributed in the Balkan Peninsula was carried out. The phytochemicals detected in essential oils by gas chromatography, mass spectrometry, and molecular data amplified fragment length polymorphism were used to study the taxonomic relationships among the taxa and the correlations between phytochemical and molecular data. STRUCTURE analysis revealed three genetic groups, while Bayesian Analysis of Population Structure grouped the studied taxa into 11 clusters nested in the groups obtained by STRUCTURE. Principal components analysis performed with the 21 most represented compounds in the essential oils yielded results that were partly consistent with those obtained by STRUCTURE and neighbour-joining analyses. However, their geographic distributions did not support the genetic grouping of the studied taxa and populations. The Mantel test showed a significant correlation between the phytochemical and genetic data (r = 0.421, p < 0.001). Genetic distance explained 17.8% of the phytochemical distance between populations. The current taxonomic position of several of the studied taxa is yet to be satisfactorily resolved, and further studies are needed. Such future research should include nuclear and plastid DNA sequences from a larger sample of populations and individuals.
