Vanilla planifolia Jacks. ex Andrews, is cultivated for its aromatic pods, obtaining the primary source of vanillin, a molecule valued flavor and bioactivity. Mexico ranks among top five global producers, Papantla, Veracruz, contributes 70 % national production. Developing vanilla's characteristic aroma involves curing process composed killing, sweating, drying, conditioning, which enzymatic reactions microbial activity play essential roles. This study assessed impact four killing...

Somatic embryogenesis (SE) is a valuable model for understanding the mechanism of plant and tool mass production plants. However, establishing SE in avocado has been complicated due to very low efficiency embryo induction regeneration. To understand molecular foundation development avocado, we compared embryogenic (EC) non-embryogenic (NEC) cultures two varieties using proteomic metabolomic approaches. Although Criollo Hass EC exhibited similarities proteome metabolome profile, general,...

ABSTRACT Mushrooms related to Boletus edulis s.l. are globally valued as wild‐harvested edibles. This study investigated the nutritional composition, antioxidant activity, and metabolic profile of rubriceps B. vigasensis from Pinus forests in Cofre de Perote mountain, Veracruz, Mexico. Using non‐targeted metabolomics predictive Random Forest models, we identified 180 putative metabolites, 29 with documented bioactivity, discovered metabolite markers distinguishing both taxa. Integrating...

With the aim of identifying key factors that determine oviposition decisions by Anastrepha obliqua for management purposes, we conducted a behavioral study under natural/semi-natural field conditions to identify where exactly in fruit (upper, middle, or lower sections) females preferred lay eggs highly susceptible mango cultivar ("Criollo"), and whether sunlight incidence chemical compounds influenced site selection this pestiferous fly. Females oviposited shaded, upper sections pulp had...

Anastrepha spp. (Diptera: Tephritidae) infestations cause significant economic losses in commercial fruit production worldwide. However, some plants quickly counteract the insertion of eggs by females generating neoplasia and hindering eclosion, as is case for Persea americana Mill., cv. Hass (Hass avocados). We followed a combined transcriptomics/metabolomics approach to identify molecular mechanisms triggered avocados detect react oviposition pestiferous ludens (Loew). evaluated two...

Chemical ecology studies on ambrosia beetles are typically conducted with either wild or laboratory-reared specimens. Unlike insects, important aspects that potentially influence behavioral responses, such as age, physiological state, and prior experience unknown in In this study, we compared the electroantennographic (EAG) responses of X. affinis ferrugineus to 70% ethanol bark odors (host kairomones) Bursera simaruba, Mangifera indica, Persea schiedeana aged for 2, 24, 48 h. analyses each...

An Acinetobacter calcoaceticus UTMR2 strain was evaluated in tomatillo plants (Physalis ixocarpa Brot.) using a factorial design with different potassium doses (100, 75, 50 and 0% of the recommended dose). In addition to agronomic parameters, an analysis physicochemical, antioxidant, metabolomic properties fruit performed. The application inoculant affected several parameters plant (chlorophyll, weight, contents mineral elements) as well (yield, maturity index, FRAP antioxidant capacity,...

Vanilla planifolia is an orchid of cultural and economic value. However, its cultivation in many tropical countries threatened by water stress. In contrast, V. pompona a species that tolerant prolonged periods drought. Due to the need for plants’ resistant stress, use hybrids these two considered. Therefore, objective this study was evaluate morphological physio-chemical responses vitro vanilla seedlings parental genotype planifolia, × which were then exposed over five weeks polyethylene...

Cocos nucifera L. is one of the most cultivated palm trees in world since it used to obtain both raw materials and food. From a human point view, coconut fruit very valuable product, producing an aromatic tasty liquid endosperm (coconut water) containing high levels sugars, amino acids other molecules nutritional nutraceutical value. Most chemical composition studies conducted on date have focused determination fatty acid content oil extension shelf life water. Despite economic importance...

Abstract. Synthetic fungicides are used to control fungal diseases in plants, such as those caused by members of the Fusarium genus. Nonetheless, over-application synthetic formulations can generate other problems, like phytotoxicity, or pollution water and soil. In this context, botanical extracts with antifungal properties represent an environmentally friendly alternative infections. The application natural products form crude still requires incorporation toxic organic solvents be vehicle....

The maize pathogen Fusarium verticillioides and their mycotoxins cause damage to plants, animals, human health. This work aimed evaluate the effect of crude extracts (CEs) from Agaricus subrufescens, Lentinula edodes, Pleurotus ostreatus fruiting bodies on in vitro production biomass by two strains F. verticillioides. Stipes pilei were separated before extraction for A. subrufescens L. edodes. Comparative metabolomics dereplication phenolic compounds used analyze all CEs. Mushroom CEs did...

Spines are key plant modifications developed to deal against herbivores; however, its physical structure and chemical composition have been little explored in species. Here, we took advantage of high-throughput chromatography characterize Agave fourcroydes Lem. spines, a species traditionally used for fiber extraction. Analyses structural carbohydrate showed that spines lower cellulose content than leaf fibers (52 72%, respectively) but contain more 2-fold the hemicellulose 1.5-fold pectin....

This investigation cultured Cecropia obtusifolia cells in suspension to evaluate the effect of nitrate deficiency on growth and production chlorogenic acid (CGA), a secondary metabolite with hypoglycemic hypolipidemic activity that acts directly type 2 diabetes mellitus. Using cell cultures suspension, kinetics time course was established six points four total concentrations. The metabolites interest were quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), metabolome analyzed using...

Secondary metabolites such as flavonoids are promising in the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is one complications diabetes due to oxidative stress and inflammation. Some plants, Eryngium carlinae, have been investigated regarding their medicinal properties vitro vivo assays, showing favorable results for various diseases obesity. The present study examined antioxidant anti-inflammatory effects phenolic compounds an ethyl acetate extract inflorescences carlinae...

Abstract BACKGROUND Mangoes are tropical fruits appreciated worldwide but extremely perishable, being susceptible to decay, pest infestation and fungal diseases. Using the flavorful highly valued ‘Manila’ cultivar, we examined effect of second‐generation chitosan coatings on shelf‐life, phenolic compound variation, phytohormones, by fruit flies ( Anastrepha obliqua ) anthracnose disease caused fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides . RESULTS We observed almost total elimination A. eggs with...

Legumes are an essential source of nutrients that complement energy and protein requirements in the human diet. They also contribute to intake bioactive compounds such as polyphenols, whose content can vary depending on cultivars genotypes.
