Biosynthesized silver nanoparticles mediated by Ammi visnaga extract enhanced systemic resistance and triggered multiple defense-related genes, including SbWRKY transcription factors, against tobacco mosaic virus infection. BMC PLANT BIOLOGY 2024; 24:756. [PMID: 39107683 PMCID: PMC11305019 DOI: 10.1186/s12870-024-05449-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is a highly infectious plant virus that affects a wide variety of plants and reduces crop yields around the world. Here, we assessed the effectiveness of using Ammi visnaga aqueous seed extract to synthesize silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) and their potential to combat TMV. Different techniques were used to characterize Ag-NPs, such as scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM, TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and dynamic light scattering (DLS). RESULTS TEM demonstrated that the synthesized Ag-NPs had a spherical form with an average size of 23-30 nm and a zeta potential value of -15.9 mV, while FTIR revealed various functional groups involved in Ag-NP stability and capping. Interestingly, the Pre-treatment of tobacco plants (protective treatment) with Ag-NPs at 100-500 µg/mL significantly suppressed viral symptoms, while the Post-treatment (curative treatment) delayed their appearance. Furthermore, protective and curative treatments significantly increased chlorophyll a and b, total flavonoids, total soluble carbohydrates, and antioxidant enzymes activity (PPO, POX and CAT). Simultaneously, the application of Ag-NPs resulted in a decrease in levels of oxidative stress markers (H2O2 and MDA). The RT-qPCR results and volcano plot analysis showed that the Ag-NPs treatments trigger and regulate the transcription of ten defense-related genes (SbWRKY-1, SbWRKY-2, JERF-3, GST-1, POD, PR-1, PR-2, PR-12, PAL-1, and HQT-1). The heatmap revealed that GST-1, the primary gene involved in anthocyanidin production, was consistently the most expressed gene across all treatments throughout the study. Analysis of the gene co-expression network revealed that SbWRKY-19 was the most central gene among the studied genes, followed by PR-12 and PR-2. CONCLUSIONS Overall, the reported antiviral properties (protective and/or curative) of biosynthesized Ag-NPs against TMV lead us to recommend using Ag-NPs as a simple, stable, and eco-friendly agent in developing pest management programs against plant viral infections.

Abstract
As regards to the structural analysis and optimization of diverse potential EGFR inhibitors, two series of imidazolyl-2-cyanoprop-2-enimidothioates and ethyl imidazolylthiomethylacrylates were designed and constructed as potential EGFR suppressors. The cytotoxic effect of the prepared derivatives was assessed toward hepatic, breast, and prostate cancerous cells (Hep-G2, MCF-7, and PC-3). Three derivatives 3d, 3e, and 3f presented potent antiproliferative activity and selectivity against the examined tumor cells showing IC50 values at low micromolar levels. Hence, successive biological assays were applied to determine the probable mechanism of action of the new compounds. They exhibited significant EGFR suppression with an IC50 range of 0.137-0.507 µM. The most effective EGFR inhibitor 3f arrested the MCF-7 cell cycle at the S phase by inducing the apoptotic pathway that was confirmed via increasing the expression of Caspases 8, 9, and Bax, which are associated with Bcl-2 decline. Additionally, molecular docking displayed a distinctive interaction between 3f and EGFR binding pocket. Overall, this work introduces some novel imidazolyl-2-cyanoprop-2-enimidothioates and ethyl imidazolylthiomethylacrylates as potential cytotoxic and EGFR inhibitors that deserve further research in tumor therapy.

Abstract
Microorganisms participating in the development of biofilms exhibit heightened resistance to antibiotic treatment, therefore infections involving biofilms have become a problem in recent years as they are more difficult to treat. Consequently, research efforts are directed towards identifying novel molecules that not only possess antimicrobial properties but also demonstrate efficacy against biofilms. While numerous investigations have focused on antimicrobial capabilities of Schiff bases, their potential as antibiofilm agents remains largely unexplored. Thus, the objective of this article is to present a comprehensive overview of the existing scientific literature pertaining to small molecules categorized as Schiff bases with antibiofilm properties. The survey involved querying four databases (Web of Science, ScienceDirect, Scopus and Reaxys). Relevant articles published in the last 10 years were selected and categorized based on the molecular structure into two groups: classical Schiff bases and oximes and hydrazones. Despite the majority of studies indicating a moderate antibiofilm potential of Schiff bases, certain compounds exhibited a noteworthy effect, underscoring the significance of considering this type of molecular modeling when seeking to develop new molecules with antibiofilm effects.

Functionalization Strategies for Electropolishing Process of Carbon Steel Using Novel Quinazoline-4-one Derivatives: Synthesis, Spectroscopic Characterization, and DFT Studies. ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:30949-30965.

Abstract
A novel class of organic electropolishing (EP) inhibitors, entitled quinazoline-4-one derivatives (benzylidene oxoquinazolineyl acetohydrazide (BOA)), has laid a solid foundation for the creation of a new efficient inhibitor platform for the dissolution of carbon steel (C-steel) in 8 M H3PO4. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), 1H NMR, and elemental analyses have all been employed to identify BOA's functional groups, components, and active centers. The inhibition strength of BOA derivatives (m-NBOA, p-HBOA, and p-BBOA) on C-steel was assured by galvanostatic polarization measurements. Within the range of concentrations (0.33-3.43 × 10-3 mol/L) and temperatures (298-313 K) evaluated, the tested derivatives exhibit extraordinarily high gloss and low roughness, and improved the corrosion resistance of the electropolished surface with the lowest negative environmental impact. The dissolution rate (IL) decreases with increasing BOA concentration, supporting a mass transport-controlled technique and demonstrating that BOA is appropriate for anodic inhibitors. Activation energy indicates physical adsorption. Thermodynamic parameters were calculated for further investigation of the heat involved and the mechanism of the EP process. Adsorption isotherm and adsorption thermodynamics parameters were discussed using three models: Langmuir, Flory-Huggins, and kinetic adsorption isotherms, to study the inhibition of EP of the steel surface. The free energy of adsorption was calculated to assert the physisorption process. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) was utilized to inspect the morphology of the metal surface before and after the inclusion of BOA under different conditions. In contrast, the surface roughness was identified using an atomic force microscope (AFM) and reflectance. Eventually, practical results have been proved through computational calculations using the LYP correlation functional by the density functional theory (DFT) method.

Antiviral Activity of Biosynthesized Silver Nanoparticles from Pomegranate ( Punica granatum L.) Peel Extract against Tobacco Mosaic Virus. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 12:plants12112103. [PMID: 37299082 DOI: 10.3390/plants12112103] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2023] [Revised: 05/23/2023] [Accepted: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is a major pathogen affecting tomato plants worldwide. The efficacy of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) mediated by Punica granatum biowaste peel extract in mitigating the negative impact of TMV infection on tomato growth and oxidative stress was investigated through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-Visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer, X-ray Diffraction (XRD), dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and Fourier-transform infrared spectra (FTIR). Results of SEM analysis of green Ag-NPs revealed the presence of condensed spherical or round NPs with diameters ranging between 61 and 97 nm. TEM confirmed the SEM results and showed round-shaped Ag-NPs with an average size of 33.37 ± 12.7 nm. The elemental analysis (EDX) of prepared Ag-NPs revealed the presence of elemental Ag as a major peak (64.43%) at 3-3.5 KeV. The FTIR revealed several functional groups on the prepared Ag-NPs, for which three treatment strategies for Ag-NP applications were evaluated in the greenhouse study and compared to inoculated TMV and control plants: pre-infection treatment (TB), post-infection treatment (TA), and dual treatment (TD). The results showed that the TD strategy is the most effective in improving tomato growth and reducing viral replication, whereas all Ag-NP treatments (TB, TA, and TD) were found to significantly increase expression of the pathogenesis-related (PR) genes PR-1 and PR-2, as well as polyphenolic compounds, HQT, and C4H genes compared to control plants. In contrast, the flavonoid content of tomato plants was not affected by the viral infection, while the phenolic content was significantly reduced in the TMV group. Furthermore, TMV infection led to a significant increase in oxidative stress markers MDA and H2O2, as well as a reduction in the enzymatic activity of the antioxidants PPO, SOD, and POX. Our results clearly showed that the application of Ag-NPs on TMV-infected plants reduces virus accumulation, delays viral replication in all treatments, and greatly enhances the expression of the CHS gene involved in flavonoid biosynthesis. Overall, these findings suggest that treatment with Ag-NPs may be an effective strategy to mitigate the negative impact of TMV infection on tomato plants.

Abstract
Benzidine was coupled with ethyl cyanoacetate, and malononitrile, to give azo-hydrazo products which in turn were cyclized by using hydrazine and phenyl hydrazine to give 4,4'-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diylbis(hydrazin-2-yl-1-ylidene))bis pyrazole derivatives 5-7. These compounds were identified by various spectral analysis. The examination of 0.1 M NaOH and 0.1 M HCl in DMF revealed that the λmax of the synthesized dyes are quite sensitive to pH variation and slightly affected by the coupler moieties. Utilizing the dispersion agent DYEWELL-002, polyester fabric (PE-F) was dyed in water. The color strength (K/S), its summation (K/Ssum), dye exhaustion (%E) and reflectance values were measured and discussed. The DFT method estimates the chemical descriptor parameters of the titled dyes, using B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level to investigate the performance of dyes as well as to postulate a mechanism of dyeing process.

Abstract
The effect of the terminal benzyloxy group on the mesomorphic properties of liquid crystalline materials developed from rod-like Schiff base has been described. For this objective, a novel Schiff base liquid crystal family, specifically new series of Schiff base liquid crystals, namely, (E)-4-(alkyloxy)-N-(4-(benzyloxy)benzylidene)aniline, In, are prepared and investigated in detail. The length of the terminal alkyloxy chain (n) varies amongst the compounds in the series. Where n varies between 6, 8 and 16 carbons. At the other end of the compounds, benzyloxy moiety was attached. The molecular structures of all synthesized compounds were established using different spectroscopic techniques. The molecular self-assembly was explored using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarized optical microscope (POM). Depending on the length of the terminal alkyloxy chain, only one type of SmA phase with different stability was observed. The previously reported para-substituted systems and the present investigated compounds were compared and discussed. The calculated quantum chemical parameters were computationally correlated using the DFT method via the B3LYP 6-311G(d,p) basis set. The theoretical computations revealed that the length of the alkyl side chain influences the zero-point energy, reactivity and other estimated thermodynamic parameters of benzoyloxy/azomethine derivatives. Furthermore, the FMO energy analysis shows that molecule I16 have higher HOMO energies than the other compounds, and I6 has a much lower LUMO level than the rest.

Full-Length Transcriptome Characterization and Functional Analysis of Pathogenesis-Related Proteins in Lilium Oriental Hybrid 'Sorbonne' Infected with Botrytis elliptica. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 24:ijms24010425. [PMID: 36613869 PMCID: PMC9820132 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24010425] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2022] [Revised: 12/17/2022] [Accepted: 12/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Gray mold (Botrytis elliptica) causes a deleterious fungal disease that decreases the ornamental value and yield of lilies. Lilium oriental hybrid 'Sorbonne' is a variety that is resistant to gray mold. Understanding the mechanism of resistance against B. elliptica infection in 'Sorbonne' can provide a basis for the genetic improvement in lily plants. In this study, a PacBio Sequel II system was used to sequence the full-length transcriptome of Lilium 'Sorbonne' after inoculation with B. elliptica. A total of 46.64 Gb subreads and 19,102 isoforms with an average length of 1598 bp were obtained. A prediction analysis revealed 263 lncRNAs, and 805 transcription factors, 4478 simple sequence repeats, and 17,752 coding sequences were identified. Pathogenesis-related proteins (PR), which may play important roles in resistance against B. elliptica infection, were identified based on the full-length transcriptome data and previously obtained second-generation transcriptome data. Nine non-redundant potential LhSorPR proteins were identified and assigned to two groups that were composed of two LhSorPR4 and seven LhSorPR10 proteins based on their genetic relatedness. The real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) results showed that the patterns of expression of nine differentially expressed PR genes under B. elliptica stress were basically consistent with the results of transcriptome sequencing. The pattern of expression of LhSorPR4s and LhSorPR10s genes in different tissues was analyzed, and the expression of each gene varied. Furthermore, we verified the function of LhSorPR4-2 gene in Lilium. The expression of LhSorPR4-2 was induced by phytohormones such as methyl jasmonate, salicylic acid, and ethephon. Moreover, the promoter region of LhSorPR4-2 was characterized by several functional domains associated with phytohormones and stress response. The overexpression of LhSorPR4-2 gene in 'Sorbonne' increased the resistance of the lily plant to B. elliptica and correlated with high chitinase activity. This study provides a full-length transcript database and functionally analyzed the resistance of PR gene to B. elliptica in Lilium, thereby introducing the candidate gene LhSorPR4-2 to breed resistance in Lilium.

Abstract
Two groups of laterally substituted non-mesomorphic and liquid crystalline materials bearing monoazo group were prepared and investigated via experimental and theoretical techniques. The molecular structures of the designed dyes were evaluated by FT-IR and NMR spectroscopic analyses. Mesomorphic examinations for all synthesized dyes were investigated by polarized optical microscopy (POM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Results revealed that, the thermal and optical properties of investigated compounds are mainly dependent on their molecular geometry. The optimized geometries of the azo derivatives and their electronic absorption of the dyes were carried out using the B3LYP/6-311G level of the DFT method. The azo dyes were measured for their dyeing performance on polyester fabrics. The dyed fabrics have excellent fastness properties with a color strength of 1.49-3.43 and an exhaustion rate of 82-64%. The chemical descriptor parameters of disperse azo dyes in gas phase were calculated and correlated with dyeing parameters.
