Developing processes that contribute to the valorization of vegetable wastes is great importance since these residues are characterized by being high quality, having a huge potential for valorization. However, upcycling vegetables and defining specific applications value-added products obtained might be challenge, they should tackled means different complementary innovations. In present study, broccoli white cabbage discards were transformed into powdered selected techniques conditions,...
Essential oils (EOs) are widely studied as possible candidates for new eco-friendly herbicides weed management due to their phytotoxicity. In this study we tested the phytotoxic potential of EO obtained from roots Carlina acaulis L. (Apiaceae) against Bidens pilosa This EO, containing 98% polyacetylene carlina oxide, showed strong effects on plant metabolism, such leaf necrosis, reduction relative water content and total area, an increase in dry weight/fresh weight ratio, suggesting a status...
Trans-cinnamaldehyde is a specialised metabolite that naturally occurs in plants of the Lauraceae family. This study focused on phytotoxic effects this compound morphology and metabolism Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings.To evaluate phytotoxicity trans-cinnamaldehyde, dose-response curve was first performed for root growth process order to calculate reference inhibitory concentrations IC50 IC80 (trans-cinnamaldehyde inducing 50% 80% inhibition, respectively). Subsequently, structure...
Screening suitable allelopathic crops and crop genotypes that are competitive with weeds can be a sustainable weed control strategy to reduce the massive use of herbicides. In this study, three accessions common buckwheat Fagopyrum esculentum Moench. (Gema, Kora, Eva) one Tartary tataricum Gaertn. (PI481671) were screened against germination growth herbicide-resistant Lolium rigidum Gaud. Portulaca oleracea L. The chemical profile four was characterised in their shoots, roots, root exudates...
Based on previous results, which showed that the secondary metabolite citral causes disturbances to plant water status, present study is focused demonstrating and detailing these effects water-related parameters of Arabidopsis thaliana adult plants, their impact fitness. Clear evidence status fitness were observed: plants treated with 1200 2400 μm decreased RWC, reduced Ψs , increased Ψw stomatal opening, even 7 days after beginning experiment. Plant protection signals, such as leaf rolling...
Norharmane is a secondary metabolite that appears in different species of land plants. In this paper, we investigated for the first time specificity norharmane through germination and growth tests on some crops as Zea mays L. (maize), Triticum aestivum (wheat), Oryza sativa (rice) Lactuca (lettuce) weeds Amaranthus retroflexus (amaranth), Echinochloa crus-galli (barnyard grass), Plantago lanceolata (ribwort), Portulaca oleracea (common purslane) Avena fatua (wild oat), its phytotoxic...
Harmaline is an indole alkaloid with demonstrated phytotoxicity and recognized pharmacological applications. However, no information available concerning its mode of action on plant metabolism. Therefore, the present work evaluated bioherbicide harmaline metabolism Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. induced a strong inhibitory activity root growth treated seedlings, reaching IC50 IC80 values 14 29 μM, respectively. Treated roots were shorter thicker than control characterized by meristem size...
-Cinnamic acid is a phenolic compound widely studied in plant metabolism due to its importance regulating different processes. Previous studies on maize plants showed that this could affect growth and causes metabolic changes the leaves when applied. However, effects root are not well known. This study analyses short-term effect of
The sesquiterpene farnesene and the monoterpene citral are phytotoxic natural compounds characterized by a high similarity in macroscopic effects, suggesting an equal or similar mechanism of action when assayed at IC50 concentration. In present study, short-time experiment (24 48 h) using imaging spectrofluorometer allowed us to monitor in-vivo effects two molecules, highlighting that both terpenoids were similarly affecting all PSII parameters, even quicker appearing than those farnesene....
