Despite the scientific evidence supporting their biostimulant activity, molecular mechanism(s) underlying activity of protein hydrolysates (PHs) and specificity among different products are still poorly explored. This work tested five hydrolysates, produced from plant sources using same enzymatic approach, for ability to promote rooting in tomato cuttings following quick dipping. Provided that all PHs increased root length (45–93%) some them number (37–56%), untargeted metabolomics followed...
Plant phenomics is becoming a common tool employed to characterize the mode of action biostimulants. A combination this technique with other omics such as metabolomics can offer deeper understanding biostimulant effect in planta. However, most challenging part then data analysis and interpretation datasets. In work, we present an example how different tools, based on multivariate statistical analysis, help simplify extract relevant information. We demonstrate by studying protein hydrolysate...
Abstract The application of protein hydrolysates (PH) biostimulants is considered a promising approach to promote crop growth and resilience against abiotic stresses. Nevertheless, PHs bioactivity depends on both the raw material used for their preparation molecular fraction applied. present research aimed at investigating mechanisms triggered by applying PH its fractions plants subjected nitrogen limitations. To this objective, an integrated transcriptomic‐metabolomic was assess lettuce...
Abstract Plant biostimulants are widely applied in agriculture for their ability to improve plant fitness. In the present work, impact of Graminaceae -derived protein hydrolysate (P) and its lighter molecular fraction F3 (< 1 kDa) on lettuce plants, subjected either no salt or high conditions, was investigated through combination metabolomics transcriptomics. The results showed that both treatments significantly modulated transcriptome metabolome plants under salinity stress, highlighting...
Sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) is one of the most produced aromatic herbs in world, exploiting hydroponic systems. It has been widely assessed that macronutrients, like nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S), can strongly affect organoleptic qualities agricultural products, thus influencing their nutraceutical value. In addition, plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have shown to plant growth quality. Azospirillum brasilense a PGPR able colonize root system different crops, promoting...
Global climate change, its implications for agriculture, and the complex scenario presented by scientific community are of worldwide concern. Drought is a major abiotic stress that can restrict plants growth yields, thus identification genotypes with higher adaptability to drought represents one primary goals in breeding programs. During stress, metabolic adaptation crucial tolerance, accumulation specific amino acids and/or as secondary metabolites deriving from acid metabolism may...
Starch bioengineering in cereals has produced a plethora of genotypes with new nutritional and technological functionalities. Modulation amylose content from 0 to 100% was inversely correlated starch digestibility promoted lower glycemic index food products. In wheat, mutants have been reported exhibit various side effects, mainly related the seed phenotype. However, little is known about impact altered structure on plant metabolism. Here, three bread wheat mutant lines extreme phenotypes...
Protein hydrolysates (PHs) are employed in agriculture to increase the sustainability of farming systems, with positive results on crop productivity and response against environmental stressors. Nevertheless, molecular mechanism(s) triggered by their specific activity is not clearly understood. In this work, five PHs obtained enzymatic hydrolysis different vegetal protein sources were tested for root-promoting tomato cuttings. All treatments improved both root length number when compared...

Two boxer dogs from the same litter were presented at 3 months of age for urinary and fecal incontinence. Both had an abnormal tail consisting a small stump, atonic anal sphincter, absent perineal reflex sensation. Neurological evaluation was indicative lesion cauda equina or sacral spinal cord. Radiology CT scan spine displayed similar findings in two that agenesis. Indeed, they 6 lumbar vertebrae followed by lumbosacral transitional vertebra, lacking complete spinous process, hypoplastic...
