In the past few years, cord-forming basidiomycetes have received considerable attention in their growth strategies in the presence of other fungi (saprotrophic and pathogenic). In the present study, the in vitro interaction between the cord-forming basidiomycete Hypholoma fasciculare and the ectomycorrhizal fungus Pisolithus tinctorius was studied. Dual-cultures were established and the radial fungal growth, hy...
Mushrooms are of increasing importance in modern nutrition and medicine. Trás-os-Montes region (north-eastern Portugal) is known for the variety of its soils and diversity of climate conditions. This variability assumes an important role in mushroom production, explaining why this region is recognized as one of the richest ones in wild edible species. A metabolomics approach was applied to twelve wild edible mu...
Trás-os-Montes region is considered one of the richest regions of Portugal concerning the existence of wild mushrooms. In the present work, was studied the volatile profile of three species of wild mushrooms, Hebeloma crustuliniforme, Clitocybe odora and Tricholoma fracticum. These species have different flavours, namely radish-, anise-like odor, and not distinctive or slightly mealy odor, respectively. The vol...
A comparative study was developed on the total fatty acids composition of twelve wild edible mushroom species (Suillus bellini, Suillus luteus, Suillus granulatus, Hygrophorus agathosmus, Amanita rubescens, Russula cyanoxantha, Boletus edulis, Tricholoma equestre, Fistulina hepatica, Cantharellus cibarius, Amanita caesarea and Hydnum rufescens). In order to define qualitative and quantitative profiles, combined...
Brassicaceae family are commonly grown and consumed worldwide. Belonging to this group, kale (Brassica oleraceIJe var. acephala) is important in traditional farming systems in the Iberian Peninsula. While its seeds have been used for human consumption as oil, or mixed with some food products, sprouts, the germination form, are favoured for their nutritional value [1].
Pieris brassicae is a specialist on crucifers and its interactions with some of its host plants have been increasingly studied given their importance in pest management, chemical ecology and entomology. Plants are known to respond to insect attack by releasing volatiles that can either warn neighbour plants to the presence of a predator or attract insect parasitoids, thus reducing the attack efficiency. The inf...
