Plant-derived protein hydrolysates (PHs) are an important category of biostimulants able to increase plant growth and crop yield especially under environmental stress conditions. PHs can be applied as foliar spray or soil drench. Foliar is generally achieve a relatively short-term response, whereas drench used when long-term effect desired. The aim the study was elucidate biostimulant action PH application method (foliar substrate drench) on morpho-physiological traits metabolic profile...
Designing and developing new biostimulants is a crucial process which requires an accurate testing of the product effects on morpho-physiological traits plants deep understanding mechanism action selected products. Product screening approaches using omics technologies have been found to be more efficient cost effective in finding biostimulant substances. A protocol based use high-throughput phenotyping platform for vegetal-derived protein hydrolysates (PHs) activity followed by metabolomic...
The use of plant biostimulants contributes to more sustainable and environmentally friendly farming techniques offers a alternative mitigate the adverse effects stress. Protein hydrolysate-based have been described promote growth reduce negative effect abiotic stresses in different crops. However, limited information is available about their mechanism action, how plants perceive application, which metabolic pathways are activating. Here we used multi-trait high-throughput screening approach...
Photosynthetic light-harvesting antennae are pigment-binding proteins that perform one of the most fundamental tasks on Earth, capturing light and transferring energy enables life in our biosphere. Adaptation to different environments led evolution an astonishing diversity systems. At same time, several strategies have been developed optimize input into photosynthetic membranes response fluctuating conditions. The basic feature these prompt responses is dynamic nature antenna complexes,...
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...
