December 2024
Article Synopsis
- Current strategies to control Verticillium wilt of olive (VWO) are limited, highlighting the need for new approaches in olive crossbreeding programs.
- This study analyzed the basal metabolome of 43 olive cultivars with different resistance levels, using a cutting-edge UHPLC-ESI-TimsTOF MS/MS platform to identify over 70 metabolites across olive organs (roots, stems, and leaves).
- Significant differences in the metabolome were found between resistant and susceptible cultivars, with stem tissue showing the most potential for distinguishing between them, identified by key markers related to VWO susceptibility.
Uncovering phytochemicals quantitative evolution in avocado fruit mesocarp during ripening: A targeted LC-MS metabolic exploration of Hass, Fuerte and Bacon varieties.
Food Chem
November 2024
Avocado ripening entails intricate physicochemical transformations resulting in desirable characteristics for consumption; however, its impact on specific metabolites and its cultivar dependence remains largely unexplored. This study employed LC-MS to quantitatively monitor 30 avocado pulp metabolites, including phenolic compounds, amino acids, nucleosides, vitamins, phytohormones, and related compounds, from unripe to overripe stages, in three commercial varieties (Hass, Fuerte, and Bacon). Multivariate statistical analysis revealed significant metabolic variations between cultivars, leading to the identification of potential varietal markers.

December 2023
Verticillium wilt of olive (VWO) is one of the most widespread and devastating olive diseases in the world. Harnessing host resistance to the causative agent is considered one of the most important measures within an integrated control strategy of the disease. Aiming to understand the mechanisms underlying olive resistance to VWO, the metabolic profiles of olive leaves, stems and roots from 10 different cultivars with varying levels of susceptibility to this disease were investigated by liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS).

August 2023
Article Synopsis
- Spain is the leading avocado producer in Europe but only meets less than 10% of the continent's demand, relying largely on imports from Peru and Chile.
- A detailed analysis of the metabolic profiles of avocados from Spain, Peru, and Chile revealed significant differences in their chemical compounds using advanced analytical techniques.
- The study found distinct metabolic patterns for avocados based on their origin, with Spain showcasing high levels of specific acids, while Chile had notable concentrations of abscisic acid and Peru had unique levels of dihydroxybenzoic acid.
Storage Stability of Virgin Olive Oil: Evolution of Its Quality Parameters and Phenolic and Triterpenic Compounds under Different Conservation Conditions.
Plants (Basel)
April 2023
The storage conditions are very critical to minimize hydrolytic and oxidative reactions of virgin olive oils (VOOs). These reactions are logically influenced by the composition of the VOO, so that each variety may have a specific behavior. The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in quality parameters and in the phenolic and triterpenic profile of VOOs, a unique local variety from Argentina, after storage under different conditions.
