AI Article Synopsis

  • - The study investigates how biocontrol fungal strains can boost growth and combat leaf spot disease in young olive trees by utilizing secondary metabolites (SMs).
  • - Researchers conducted analyses using LC-MS Q-TOF and real-time RT-PCR to assess changes in phenolic compounds and gene expression in olive leaves after treatment with these strains or SMs.
  • - The results showed that treated plants had different phenolic profiles, with an increase in flavonoids and a change in the expression of defense-related genes depending on the specific strain or metabolite used.

Article Abstract

Biocontrol fungal strains of the genus can antagonize numerous plant pathogens and promote plant growth using different mechanisms of action, including the production of secondary metabolites (SMs). In this work we analyzed the effects of repeated applications of selected strains or SMs on young olive trees on the stimulation of plant growth and on the development of olive leaf spot disease caused by . In addition, metabolomic analyses and gene expression profiles of olive leaves were carried out by LC-MS Q-TOF and real-time RT-PCR, respectively. A total of 104 phenolic compounds were detected from olive leave extracts and 20 were putatively identified. Targeted and untargeted approaches revealed significant differences in both the number and type of phenolic compounds accumulated in olive leaves after applications, as compared to water-treated plants. Different secoiridoids were less abundant in treated plants than in controls, while the accumulation of flavonoids (including luteolin and apigenin derivatives) increased following the application of specific strain. The induction of defense-related genes, and of genes involved in the synthesis of the secoiridoid oleuropein, was also analyzed and revealed a significant variation of gene expression according to the strain or metabolite applied.

Can a Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) and Multispectral Sensor Discriminate Canopy Structure Changes Due to Pruning in Olive Growing? A Field Experimentation.

Sensors (Basel)

December 2024

The present research aimed to evaluate whether two sensors, optical and laser, could highlight the change in olive trees' canopy structure due to pruning. Therefore, two proximal sensors were mounted on a ground vehicle (Kubota B2420 tractor): a multispectral sensor (OptRx ACS 430 AgLeader) and a 2D LiDAR sensor (Sick TIM 561). The multispectral sensor was used to evaluate the potential effect of biomass variability before pruning on sensor response.

Olive leaves are agro-industrial waste that pose an environmental management problem. However, they contain polyphenolic compounds with important bioactive properties beneficial to human. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of two extraction technologies (pressurized liquid extraction and ultrasound-assisted extraction) combined with green solvents (pure water, 15% ethanol, and 15% glycerol) at 50 °C and 70 °C.
