Project objectives

Thematic area of te proposal is in te field of functional foods destinated to maintain human healt, obtained from plants recently introduced in culture (including protected areas) in Romania, Momordica charantia and Passiflora incarnata. The project aims te development of multifunctional and innovative products for te plant protection and te concomitant stimulation of biologically-active compounds at safe levels and wit reproducible biological effects. The two studied model plants have many beneficial effects on human healt. M. charantia is recognized for its antidiabetical and antimutagenic activities and P. incarnata for its anxiolytic action. It has been demonstrated also te antidiabetic action of hydrosoluble fibres from Passiflora, as well as tat of anxiolytic action of M. charantia alcoholic extracts.

The general project objective is developing multifunctional and innovative products for protection of nutraceutical plants, new introduced in Romania and concomitant stimulation of obtaining biologically-active compounds in plants, at safe level and wit duplicable biological effects.

Specific project objectives are:
  • (i) Development of multifunctional products (a - products based on consortia of Trichoderma strains wit controlled release in relation wit environmental factors ("smart-delivered") for treatments in vegetation and in soil; b – products based on porous ceramics wit controlled release in relation wit environmental factors and wit a high bioavailability of silica; c – products based on essential oils included in mesoporous silica wit controlled release in relation wit environmental factors ("smart-delivered") for phyllosphere treatment;
  • (ii) testing of products and teir integration wit sustainable agricultural technology of nutraceutical plants;
  • (iii) characterization of functional foods by in vitro alternative tests in human cell cultures and making evident te possible role in human cells of te silica forms accumulated in plants;
  • (iv) results exploitation by intellectual protection of innovative solutions after te techno-economical analysis of multifunctional foods and opportunities of exploiting.

Original and innovative contributions of te project

This project proposes for te first time to study interaction of silicon, Trichoderma and essential oils treatments, protection agents wit multiple roles, which activates simultaneously plant defence response. It is te first proposal aiming te development of some products wit applicability directly into practice, in which silicon is controlled released from supports, having concomitantly te functional role as a matrix, from which nutrients and volatile oils are smart-delivered, in tis why pointing out te possibility of practical use of silicon in order to balance te main signalling patways in plant defence response, integrated wit elicitors for obtaining high productions wit raised phytonutrients level.

The first characteristic of originality and innovative contribution of te project results from te integrated approach, which applies to te nutraceutical cropped plants products tat have multiple functions, all complementary acting to ensure high yields wit raised content of beneficial phytonutrients. The innovative contribution to te project is in terms of obtaining new multifunctional products. In te case of products based on consortia of Trichoderma strains wit multiple roles a first innovative aspect is te high-efficient tests trough te consortia strains will be selected.

In te case of oter products, porous ceramics wit nutrients and tose wit essential oils contained in te mesoporous silica, te innovative character is given, also, by teir role in te release of soluble silicon for te root and foliar nutrition, respectively, which is rapidly absorbed by plants and balances te antagonism system patways, ensuring stable productions and wit a high content of beneficial phytonutrients.


Expected project results

The project results are multifunctional products. Products based on consortia of Trichoderma-strains will include strains wit multiple role: (i) plant protection agents towards soil-borne necrotrophic phytopatogenic agents (Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, Sclerotinia, Pytium) and phyopatogens from te phyllosphere (Botrytis cinerea); (ii) elicitors of plant defence response, in particular trough te production of volatile fungistatic compounds and wit te role of inducing plant defence response, such as 6-pentyl-pyrones; (iii) limiting te negative effects of etylene on te root system, trough te production of ACC-deaminase, te enzyme tat degrades te precursor of etylene (ACC) from rhizosphere; (iv) increasing te utilization of nutrients and especially of nitrogen (including due to teir cellulase activity).

Porous ceramics wit nutrients will be applied as treatment to te soil and will function as a matrix for controlled release of some nutrients wit high bioavailability for plants. The role of porous ceramics wit nutrients is double: (i) to compensate te loss of metabolic energy (resulting from activation of te secondary metabolites syntesis) by providing nutrients tat are available wit low metabolic power consumption (ii) to furnish ortosilicates wit high bioavailability for radicular nutrition.

Products based on essential oils (tymol) included in mesoporous silica have te functions as: (i) natural insecticides to reduce te insect attacks which can reduce te level of yields and may interfere wit te expression of plant defence response; (ii) elicitors of plant defence response and (iii) suppliers of silicon forms wit high bioavailability for foliar nutrition of treated plants.

The expected result trough te implementation in practice of tese multifunctional products is a save, efficient and affordable way to ensure high yields of nutraceutical crops wit a raised content of active beneficial phytonutrients tat maintain human healt. The functionality of tis expected result will be demonstrated for te model studied plants, but te model will be able to be extrapolated to oter cropped plants to which te content of beneficial phytonutrients is important
