Effects of Phloretin on Seedling Growth and Histochemical Distribution of Phenols, Polysaccharides and Lipids in Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) Medik. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 13:1890. [PMID: 39065417 PMCID: PMC11280091 DOI: 10.3390/plants13141890] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2024] [Revised: 07/01/2024] [Accepted: 07/03/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024]
Abstract
The present study evaluates the phytotoxic effects of phloretin, a prevalent secondary metabolite of apple trees, on the broadleaf weed Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) Medik. known for its resistant myxospermous seeds that form a long-lasting soil bank. The results indicate a significant, dose-dependent inhibitory effect of phloretin on the growth and morphological parameters of weed seedlings grown in vitro. Although the applied phloretin concentrations (250-1000 µM) were not lethal to the C. bursa-pastoris seedlings after two weeks, the metabolism of the seedlings was impaired, resulting in an accumulation of lipid droplets in the root tips and root hairs. Histochemical analysis shows deposits of phenols in the root epidermal cells, which are probably aggregates of phloretin or its metabolic derivatives. The accumulation of pectin in the cell walls of root border cells in phloretin-treated seedlings indicates an attempt to reduce the uptake of phloretin and reduce its concentration in the cells. Inhibition of shoot growth associated with chlorosis and reduced photosynthetic pigment content is a consequence of seedling exposure to phloretin. This study provides a basis for further evaluation of phloretin as a new bioherbicidal compound and for elucidating the mechanism underlying its phytotoxic activity.

Abstract
In Nature, the oldest method of communication between living systems is the chemical language. Plants, due to their lack of mobility, have developed the most sophisticated way of chemical communication. Despite that many examples involve this chemical communication process-allelopathy, there is still a lack of information about specific allelochemicals released into the environment, their purpose, as well as in-depth studies on the chemistry underground. These findings are critical to gain a better understanding of the role of these compounds and open up a wide range of possibilities and applications, especially in agriculture and phytomedicine. The most relevant aspects regarding the chemical language of plants, namely kind of allelochemicals, have been investigated, as well as their releasing mechanisms and their purpose will be described in this chapter.

Abstract
The use of natural products that can serve as natural herbicides and insecticides is a promising direction because of their greater safety for humans and environment. Secondary metabolites of plants that are toxic to plants and insects-allelochemicals-can be used as such products. Woody plants can produce allelochemicals, but they are studied much less than herbaceous species. Meanwhile, there is a problem of interaction of woody species with neighboring plants in the process of introduction or invasion, co-cultivation with agricultural crops (agroforestry) or in plantation forestry (multiclonal or multispecies plantations). This review describes woody plants with the greatest allelopathic potential, allelochemicals derived from them, and the prospects for their use as biopesticides. In addition, the achievement of and the prospects for the use of biotechnology methods in relation to the allelopathy of woody plants are presented and discussed.

Abstract
Allelopathic materials inside a tree can produce positive or negative change in the survival, growth, reproduction and behaviour of other organisms if they escape into the environment. To assess these effects, this work was carried out to evaluate the allelopathic impact of Eucalyptus erythrocorys L. on seed germination and seedling growth of two weeds: Sinapis arvensis L. and Phalaris canariensis L.; on one cultivated crop: Triticum durum L. Aqueous; and on ethanolic leaf extracts of E. erythrocorys L. The study was effected using four concentrations (10, 20, 25 and 30 μL/mL) while distilled water was used as a control. The results showed that the E. erythrocorys L. crude extracts had an inhibitory effect on seed germination and seedling growth of both studied weeds and wheat. The inhibition rate was increased by the increase in extract concentration. Only ethanolic extracts of E. erythrocorys L. induced a significant inhibition of seed germination of durum wheat. The effect of E. erythrocorys L. crude extracts was more severe on weeds than on durum wheat. These results indicate that the seedling growth, especially radicle elongation, was the more sensitive indicator to evaluate the effects of extracts than was the seed germination.
