“…Whilst [32] indicated that rose plants (Rosa hybrid L.) exposed to long photoperiods will be photosynthetically more active and in turn will have increased respiration rates. In contrast, [33] indicated that increasing light intensity (the photonic substrate) inhibited respiration in algae. Furthermore, respiration rate in tobacco leaves was inhibited by light, while exposure to darkness after a period of light also result in an increased of release of CO 2 exchange and increased respiration rate [34].…”

Rose (Rosa hybrida L.) is one of the most important specialty cut flowers produced. Characterization of physiological variability in photosynthetic efficiencies, respiration rate and chlorophyll content is one of the greatest challenges in assessing rose net primary production of flowering, quality of cut flowers and other rose uses. Two modern rose varieties Floribunda and Hybrid Tea were used to optimize different methods for analysing physiological characteristics (photosynthesis rate, respiration rate and chlorophyll content). Many parameters were optimized, five different lights intensity were used (600, 900, 1200, 1500 and 2000 μmol•m •s −1 gave the highest photosynthesis rate. Five different measuring times were used (8 am, 10 am, 12 pm, 2 pm and 4 pm) and 12 pm was shown to be the optimum time for measuring photosynthesis rate. Among two different weather conditions (sunny day and cloudy day) sunny day was selected. For respiration rate two different measuring times (1 and 2 hours) after darkness were studied and 1 hour was chosen. Among three different times (10 am, 12 pm and 2 pm) for measuring chlorophyll content, 12 pm was selected. Using these optimized variables will allow researchers to collect robust and reproducible results to be obtained from different studies, and in turn lead to improved yields of horticultural plants.

“…A plethora of compounds such as enzymes, proteins, peptides, polysaccharides, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), phenolics, pigments and other secondary metabolites from various sources, such as prokaryotes, micro-and macroalgae, seaweeds, crustaceans, sponges and other invertebrates as well as various vertebrates can be useful to the food industry in a number of applications (Holdt and Kraan, 2011;Freitas et al, 2012;Murray et al, 2013;Dewapriya and Kim, 2014) ( Table 1).…”

Marine environment affords a plethora of bioactive compounds with unique properties and remarkable potential for biotechnological applications. A lot of those compounds can be used by the food industry as natural preservatives, pigments, stabilizers, gelling agents, and others, while others exhibit beneficial effects and can be used as functional food ingredients, nutraceuticals, dietary supplements and prebiotics. Interdisciplinary approach is required to increase our knowledge, explore the potential of marine environment and produce value-added food for all.

“…On this account, a larger amount of sponge biomass than can be sustainably harvested from the seas is needed for the commercial production of these compounds (Koopmans et al, 2009). This supply problem continues to hamper the development of many promising compounds from sponges and other marine invertebrates (Murray et al, 2013).…”

“…Sponge aquaculture is one possible method that could supply sufficient and sustainable quantities of sponge compounds for drug development and manufacture (Duckworth, 2009;Murray et al, 2013). Research on sponge farming consists of both in situ and ex situ experimentation (reviewed by Schippers et al, 2012), the latter carried out in aquaria under controlled conditions.…”

“…Research on sponge farming consists of both in situ and ex situ experimentation (reviewed by Schippers et al, 2012), the latter carried out in aquaria under controlled conditions. Although closed systems may ensure better control of environmental conditions and metabolite production, they are still far from paving the way to commercial production (Murray et al, 2013). Indeed, the rearing performance of demosponges kept in aquaria is highly variable, with several cases of negative growth and considerable mortality in a few months (Brümmer & Nickel, 2003;Schippers et al, 2012).…”

Biological variations in a long-term ex situ cultivation: a Mediterranean demosponge as model system

The demosponge Tethya citrina Sarà & Melone was subjected to long-term aquarium farming, considering that several species belonging to this genus are a rich source of useful bioactive compounds, and in particular interesting bioactive proteins. The rearing method in the present research was mainly based on applying parameters taken from the current literature. The biological activity of the sponge was assessed in terms of survival and growth over time, status of filtering apparatus, and protein banding profiles. Farmed sponges showed a high survival rate and marked reduction in size. In addition, they were frequently affected by massive production of asexual buds. Histological and ultrastructural observations showed a gradual disorganization of the sponge choanocyte chambers, with a drastic reduction in choanocytes and a progressive increase in spherulous cells. Comparative electrophoretic analysis of the protein profiles of wild and reared specimens showed differences in protein composition and abundance between the tested groups. Such data are consistent with the increase in spherulous cells whose content was markedly electrondense, a feature stressing the proteinaceous nature of these inclusions. Experimental tank-rearing of Tethya provided promising responses in terms of high survival rate of the species and easy reproduction, though the rearing protocol used led to profound morpho-functional changes in the sponge. This confirms the inadequate state of knowledge on farming techniques for this taxon, while also highlighting potential applications in biotechnology of ex situ breeding techniques, in order to modify the sponges' biological responses.
