NaCl Modifies Biochemical Traits in Bacterial Endophytes Isolated from Halophytes: Towards Salinity Stress Mitigation Using Consortia.
Plants (Basel)
June 2024
Article Synopsis
- Bacterial endophytes were isolated from six types of halophytes and identified based on their biochemical characteristics in the presence and absence of NaCl.
- Eleven of these endophytes demonstrated high tolerance to saline conditions, and differences in nutrient solubilization and enzymatic activities were observed depending on the presence of NaCl.
- Organic acids, particularly tartaric acid, and certain sugars were identified as key players in the mineralization and solubilization of essential nutrients, highlighting the potential for these bacteria to help alleviate saline stress in plants as climate change impacts soil salinity.
The broad bean plant contains L-DOPA, a compound that is essential for patients with Parkinson's disease. However, little has been reported on other broad bean compounds that have beneficial effects on health. The objective was to evaluate plants of four Mexican broad bean varieties to determine the content and yield of total phenolic compounds (TPC), total flavonoids (TF), and L-DOPA, as well as to analyze the flavonoid profile and antioxidant (AA) and anti-inflammatory (AANTI) activity in vitro.

- Phytochemical and metabolomic analyses were performed on ethanolic extracts from the endangered tree species in Morelia, Michoacan, focusing on their key phenolic compounds.
- The extraction process utilized electric rotavapor, and a metabolomic analysis was conducted to compare data between leaf and stem extracts using principal component analysis.
- High-resolution liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry techniques, including dynamic MRM, were employed, with results visualized through clustering in a heatmap format.
This systematic determination of morphological and phytochemical data was conducted with the purpose of conserving and identifying the phylogenetic relationship among the Vanilla species of the Totonacapan region in Mexico to increase awareness of the genetic biodiversity. Samples of Vanilla planifolia, V. planifolia cv.
