Description
BIOACTIVE COMPOSITION FOR IMPROVING STRESS TOLERANCE OF
PLANTS
FIELD OF INVENTION
The présent invention relates to a bioactive composition for improving stress tolérance of plants. In particular, the présent invention relates to a composition comprising at least one hydroxycinnamic dérivative oligomer for improving plant tolérance to abiotic and biotic stress, increasing survival in adverse environmental conditions, obtaining better growth and providing a substantial yield advantage.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
Crop management is most commonly carried out by Chemical products, for example fertilizers or pesticides, that ensure an efficacious plant protection but often interfers with the other biological components of the environment, determining irréversible 15 imbalances. In addition, these products can cause serious damages for consumer’s health as a conséquence of their residues in food products. From this scénario, it emerges the need of a graduai decrease in the use of Chemical tools in agriculture. Nowadays, agriculture is increasingly focused on the quality of products and on the environmental, hygienic and sanitary aspects. Therefore, agricultural practices are 20 moving towards a sustainable management of agricultural crops, in order to ensure quantitative and qualitative product properties.
During the last decade, the studies on alternative environmental friendly technologies hâve received a strong impulse and hâve proposed a wide range of options, including agronomical, physical and biological control means (Verma et al., Biochem Eng 25 Journal. 2007, 37:1-20; Shoresh et al., Apnu Rev Phytopathol. 2000, 48:21-43; Bharti et al., J Sci Food Agric. 2013, 93:2154-2161; Yeoh et al., Mol Biol Rep. 2013, 40:147158). In this regards, the use of biopesticides and biostimulants represent some of the most promising options.
Biopesticides are certain types of pesticides derived from such naturel materials as animais, plants, bacteria, and certain minerais. Biopesticides fall into three major classes: (1) Microbial pesticides consist of a microorganism as the active ingrédient. For example, fungi that control certain weeds; (2) Plant-Incorporated-Protectants (PIPs) are 5 pesticidal substances that plants produce from genetic material that has been added to the plant and (3) Biochemical biopesticides, naturally occurring bioactive compounds or synthetically derived bioactive compounds that are structurally similar (and functionally identical) to their naturally occurring counterparts. Elicitors which are able to trigger immune defense responses in plants are one of the most widely used biopesticides. In 10 general, biochemical biopesticides are characterized by a non-toxic mode of action that may affect the growth and development of a pest, its ability to reproduce, or pest ecology.
Plant biostimulants are bioactive substances and/or micro-organisms whose fiinction when applied to plants or the rhizosphere is to stimulate naturel processes to 15 enhance/benefit nutrient uptake, nutrient efficiency, tolérance to abiotic stress, and crop quality. Biostimulants are capable of improving the qualities and the yield of harvests at a lower cost, by playing on the metabolism of the plant while reducing the detrimental impacts on the environment of the use of Chemical compounds.
Biostimulants do not bring directly nutriments to plants and they hâve no direct action 20 against pests but increase the capacity of plants to resist different abiotic and biotic stresses: lack of water, strong heat, excessive humidity, high salinity, toxic minerai or compounds, diseases or pests (bacteria, viruses, fiingi, parasites or harmful insects). These stress conditions hâve a négative impact on crop production. Also, the use biostimulant, even at low concentration of the active ingredient/principle/compound can 25 help to limit the use of fertilizers or pesticides by improving plants growth and global fitness. It is of high-interest in agriculture to improve the performances of crops with the aim of decreasing the total amounts of Chemicals to be used.
Plant biostimulants generally fall within one of three main categories: plant hormones, amino substances and humic substances. Consistent with the foregoing, exemplary plant biostimulants include compositions based on seaweed extract, humic acid, amino acids, salicylic acid, bio-solids, hydrolyzed proteins, silicate, and/or synthetic compounds.
Cinnamic acid and its 4-hydroxysubstituted dérivatives (namely p-coumaric acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid and sinapic acid), form a family of natural products abundant 5 in plants and generally known as cinnamates. In particular, ferulic acid, various diferulic acids and even triferulates are important components of plant cell walls in certain plant. In the cell wall, these compounds are esterified to the arabinose moieties of glucuronoarabinoxylans, a prédominant component of the hemicellulose matrix. For instance, ferulic acid is considered as the prédominant phenolic cross-linker in grass cell 10 wall playing a significant rôle in cell-wall extensibility (Carpita N. C. Annu. Rev. Plant
PhysioL Plant Mol. Biol. 1996, 47:445^176).
Oligomers of cinnamic acid are known as anti-inflammation agents, inhibitors of elastase and anti-oxidants. For example, WO2010/027594 discloses the use of such oligomers as anticoagulants.
Ferulic acid is also known as an antioxidant. For instance, the US patent application US2004/259732 discloses compositions for improving the yield of a plant comprising an antioxidant such as ferulic acid and dérivatives.
The patent application JP-H-10338603 discloses cinnamic acid as a compound useful to prevent leaves and root death caused by pathogenic bacteria. WO03/000288 also 20 discloses compositions for inducing an endogenous pathogen defense pathway in a plant, such compositions comprising ferulic acid. In addition, Li et al. (Biologia Plantarum. 2013, 57(4):711-717) hâve shown that cucumber seedlings watered during 2 days with Hoagland nutrient solution containing ferulic acid could protect plants from déhydration stress.
However, cinnamic acids and ferulic acid are reported since several years as phytotoxic agent (Tumer et al., Journal of Chemical Ecology. 1975, l(l):41-58; Rasmussen et al., Journal of Chemical Ecology. 1977, 3(2): 197-205; Liebl et al., Journal of Chemical Ecology. 1983, 9(8): 1027-1043; Blum et al., Journal of Chemical ecology. 1984, 10(8):1169-1191) and are used by numerous plants as allelochemical inhibition agents (Einhellig et al., Journal of Chemical ecology. 1984, l0(l):l6l-l70; Dos Santos et al., Journal of Chemical Ecology. 2004, 30(6): 1203-1212; Yu et al., Journal of Chemical Ecology. 1994, 20(1):21-31; Lehman et al., Journal of Chemical Ecology. 1999, 25(11):2585-2600).
The Applicants unexpectedly found that hydroxycinnamic dérivative oligomers promote plant growth and development under various stresses conditions, in particular in adverse environmental conditions such as drought or minerai stress. This growth stimulationmediated drought preparedness effect enhances effective water use under a range of drought stresses, from seasonal, mild water stress to severe, prolonged drought. This 10 range of water stress situations is usually accompanied by heat stress.
The présent invention therefore relates to a composition for improving stress tolérance of a plant comprising at least one hydroxycinnamic dérivative oligomer.

H2O2 are produced in one or more bursts of oxidative activity during résistance expression in a wide range of plant host/pathogen interactions and hâve been implicated in stimulation of the hypersensitive response, a mechanism used to prevent the spread of infection by microbial pathogens (Apel and Hirt, Annu Rev Plant Biol. 2004, 55:373-399).

EXAMPLES
The présent invention is further illustrated by the following examples. In no case the scope of the présent invention is limited by these examples.
Example 1 : Préparation of oligomers of ferulic acid using a laccase as enzyme
A solution of 5 mM ferulic acid in methanol (50 mL) was added to 180 mL of ethyl acetate. After mixing, 200 mL of solution of laccase 1 U/mL (Sigma-38429, Laccase from Trametes versicolor) in 50 mM sodium acetate buffer (pH 5.0) was added, and the reaction carried out at 25°C for 24 hours by shaking on an orbital shaker at 150 rpm. Upon termination of reaction, the organic phase was separated using a séparation tunnel and the aqueous phase washed twice with ethyl acetate. Ail ethyl acetate extracts were evaporated under reduced pressure using a rotary evaporator.
HPLC analysis
RP-HPLC analysis was carried out using a Waters Symmetry C-18 column (46 x 250 mm) in a Waters Alliance séparation module 2695 coupled with a Waters UV detector at 320 nm. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile/ 1% acetic acid (30:70) mixture and the flow rate was l mL/min and séparation was carry ont at room température. Before injection, samples were filtered through Sartorious filters (0.45pm).
HPLC chromatogram of the sample shows a very small ferulic acid (FA) peak compared to peaks corresponding to oligoferulates (oligoFA) (Figure l).
For quantitative purposes, standard solutions of ferulic acid (W518301 Aldrich) were prepared at different concentrations using methanol as a solvent and were injected in triplicate, the detector responses were measured for constructing the calibration curve. A good linear relationship was obtained when a graph was plotted for concentration vs ferulic acid peak (at rétention time = 4 min) area with a corrélation coefficient 10 r2=0.999l in the concentration range of 0.005 to O.l mg/L. The équation of linear régression équation was y=2E+08x-l 13942.
Assuming a similar response factor for detected oligoferulates (oligoFA) and monomeric ferulic acid (FA), the ratio oligoferulates:ferulic acid in the reaction product is 32:1. However, the response factor for oligoferulates should normally be lower than 15 the response factor for ferulic acid. Therefore, the ratio oligoferulates:ferulic acid in the reaction product should be even higher than 32:1.
Mass spectrometry analysis
In order to détermine accurately the molecular weight of the oligoferulates obtained, a mass spectrometry analysis was carried out as follow: 1 pL of the sample solution was 20 dropped on the spectrometer target and after drying, 1 pL of a matrix solution DHB/
CH3CN was placed on the sample spot and after drying the spectra were recorded on a Bruker Ultraflex mass spectrometer (Bruker Daltonik, Bremen, Germany) in the reflector mode using extemal calibration and working in the positive ion mode. The composition of the oligoferulates obtained is presented in Table 1.

*m/z represents mass divided by charge number of ions.
Example 2: Préparation of oligomers of ferulic acid using a peroxidase as enzyme
A solution of 50 mM ferulic acid in methanol (200 mL) was added to a mix of 400 mL of methanol, 80 mL of hydrogen peroxide 0.3% and 600 mL of 50 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.0). After mixing, lOmL of solution of 1% horseradish peroxidase (245.7 U/mg, AMRESCO INC) in 50 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) was added and the reaction carried out at 25°C for 24 hours by shaking on an orbital shaker at 150 rpm.
Upon termination of reaction, the reaction mixture was filtered and the precipitate washed twice with methanol. The methanol filtrate and the soluble phase of the reaction were evaporated under reduced pressure using a rotary evaporator.
The reaction products were re-dissolved in methanol and a TLC analysis was performed on silica gel plates (MERCK 60. GF-254) using benzene:dioxane:acetic acid 15 (25:7:1, v/v/v) as the mobile phase. In addition, a RP-HPLC analysis was carried out using a Waters Symmetry C-18 column (46 x 250 mm) in a Waters Alliance séparation module 2695 coupled with a Waters UV detector at 320 nm. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile: 1% acetic acid (30:70) mixture and the flow rate was 1 mL/min. Before injection, the samples were filtered through Sartorious filters (0.45 20 pm).
Example 3: Foliar spraying of diferulate oligomers increase proline content in tomato plants in a dose-response pattern
Materials and Methods
Tomato plants of the variety moneymaker were growth for 3 weeks on soil under 5 controlled conditions (light/dark régime of 16 h/8 h respectively, at 24°C.).
Formulations containing diferulate at increased concentrations, and Tween 80 (Polysorbate 80) at 0.01% as emulsifier were sprayed on the tomato leaves till run off. A solution of Tween 80 at 0.01% was used as control. After 24 hours, the true leaves from plants treated by spraying were collected and ground in liquid nitrogen.
Proline (Pro) was estimated in tomato leaves according to Bâtes et al. (Plant and Soil. 1973, 39:205-207) based on proline's reaction with ninhydrin. A 500 mg fresh leaf samples were homogenized in 5 mL of 3% aqueous sulphosalycylic acid and centrifuged at 22000g for 5 min. The supematant was filtered through Sartorious filters (0.45 pm). Το 1 mL of the filtrate, 1 mL of ninhydrin reagent (2.5 g ninhydrin/100 mL of a solution containing glacial acetic acid, distilled water and ortho-phosphoric acid 85% at a ratio of 6:3:1) was added and boiled in a water bath at 100°C for 1 h. Readings were taken immediately at a wavelength of 546 nm. The proline concentration was determined from a standard curve using proline (sigma) and calculated on a fresh weight basis (mmol proline, g FW-1).
Results
Results presented in Figure 2 show that at low concentration, diferulate oligomers enable the control of Pro content in plant and that it follows a positive linear corrélation in relation with the applied doses (dose-response).
ANOVA tests indicate statistically significant différences (p<0.05) between plants 25 treated with the formulation and control solution containing Tween 80.
As accumulation of proline in plants is known to hâve both osmoprotectory and antioxidant functions, results show that diferulate oligomers enhance osmoprotection and protection against oxidative damage of the plant.
Example 4: Radish seeds treatment with oligoferulates increases germination rate and seedling growth
Materials and Methods
Radish (Raphanus sativus) seeds of the variety Ronde rode were incubated during 30 5 min in a solution of 15 ppm of oligoferulates or water (Control). Test was repeated 3 times for each treatment, 20 seeds per répétition. Seeds were then dried and placed in an incubator at 30°C for optimal germination in water, without stress. After 3 days, germinated seeds were counted and radish seedlings collected and weighted.
Results
Results show that radish seeds treated with oligoferulates hâve about 15% higher germination percentage than in the control where seeds were incubated with water (62% of germination for the control, 77% for the oligoferulates-treated seeds; Figure 3).
Similarly, radish seedlings of seeds treated with oligoferulates présent a faster growth of about 14% in comparison to seeds not treated (0.49 g of fresh weight for the control, 15 0.56 g for the oligoferulates-treated seeds; Figure 4).
These results show that oligoferulates are able to modify the plant behavior, even under non stressed conditions.
Example 5: Treatment of radish seeds with oligoferulates or a composition comprising oligoferulates and chitosan to enhance plant germination under stress conditions
Materials and Methods
Radish (Raphanus sativus) seeds of the variety Ronde rode were incubated 5 min in water (as control), solution of 0.05 mM oligoferulates, solution of 0.1% chitosan, or a solution comprising 0.1% chitosan and 0.05 mM oligoferulates (solution further called “oligoferulates composition”). After being dried, coated seeds were dispersed onto 25 plates containing 50 mL of a 125 mM of mannitol in order to induce osmotic stress conditions. Plates were sealed with Parafilm M® to prevent déhydration and left for incubation at 30°C. After 4 days, germinated seeds were counted and germination percentage calculated.
Results
Results show that radish seeds pretreated with a solution comprising oligoferulates alone significantly increase the germination percentage of radish seeds under stress conditions (52 % of germinated seeds for the oligoferulates treated seeds and 23 % of germinated seeds for the control) (Figure 5).
On the contrary, radish seed treated with exclusively chitosan show a comparable germination percentage than control seeds (21 % of germinated seeds for the chitosan treated seeds) (Figure 5).
In another hand, radish seeds pretreated with a solution comprising oligoferulates and chitosan (oligoferulates composition) show a very significant increase of the germination percentage in comparison to control, with 68% of germinated seeds (Figure 5)·
This results reveal that applying oligoferulates, or even better an oligoferulates composition (oligoferulates and chitosan), show an enhanced plant germination in respect to control or chitosan alone.
Example 6: Seed-coating with an oligoferulates composition induces tolérance in wheat plants to drought stress
Materials and Methods
Seeds of wheat plant were coated with a composition comprising 0.005 % of diferulate and 0.5% of chitosan (hereinafter named “oligoferulates composition”), and water (as control). After drying, six seeds of wheat per pots (3 pots per treatment) were planted and wheat plants growth for 3 weeks on soil under controlled conditions (light/dark régime of 16 h/8 h respectively, at 24°C). At that moment, irrigation was suspended, and no further water was added in order to simulate a situation of drought stress. After seven days under this condition, irrigation was restored, mimicking episodic drought or rainfall after a prolonger! period of drought. The capacity of the plant to recover was estimated the day after, based on total fresh weight of the wheat plants.
Results
Results show that this severe drought stress has irreversibly injured tissue apparatus of 5 the untreated plants (control, Figures 6A and 6B left, and Figure 7), whereas plants treated with the oligoferulates composition show an interestingly high recovery (treated, Figures 6A and 6B right, and Figure 7).
Therefore, the oligoferulates composition may help plants to respond better to episodic drought or scares watering puises which is remarkably helpful to implement végétation 10 management practices in climatic changing conditions.
Example 7: Seed-coating with a composition comprising hydroxycinnamic acid । oligomers and chitosan induces tolérance in wheat plants to drought stress !
Materials and Methods
Oligomers of ferulic acid, caffeic acid and coumaric acid were prepared using chitosan 15 as polymerization template and laccase from Trametes versicolor (Sigma-38429) as catalyst. Each reaction mix comprises 50 mL of 50 mM hydroxycinnamic acid in methanol, 10 g of chitosan, 15 U of laccase and 450 mL of phosphate buffer (50 mM, pH 7.0). The reactions were carried out at 30°C for 4 h in a magnetic stirred reactor under atmospheric conditions. The oligomers grafted on chitosan were recovered by 20 filtering the reaction medium under vacuum and washing with an abundant amount of phosphate buffer (50 mM, pH 7.0) to remove ail traces of enzyme adsorbed.
Seeds of radish plant were coated with a solution comprising 0.35 % of each , hydroxycinnamic oligomer grafted on chitosan. After drying, seeds were planted and radish plants were grown for 3 weeks on soil under controlled conditions (light/dark 25 régime of 16 h/8 h respectively, at 24°C). At that moment, irrigation was suspended, and no further water was added in order to simulate a situation of drought stress. After one week under this drought stress condition, irrigation was restored and the capacity of the plant to recover estimated based on the fresh weight of the radish plants.
Results
Results are presented in Table 2.
Table 2: Fresh weight of radish plants after irrigation was restored
Fresh weight of radish plant* (g/plant) | |
Radish seed coated with water (Control) | 2.03 ± 0.20 |
Radish seed coated with oligomers of ferulic acid grafted on chitosan | 2.98 ±0.18 |
Radish seed coated with oligomers of caffeic acid grafted on chitosan | 2.38 ±0.12 |
Radish seed coated with oligomers of coumaric acid grafted on chitosan | 2.78 ±0.22 |
*values of the mean +/- SE are reported
Results show that coating seeds with a composition comprising oligomers of ferulic acid, caffeic acid and coumaric acid significantly increase the fresh weight of plant in conditions that simulate drought stress. Plants pre-treated by seed coating with such 10 compositions hâve thus been more résistant to drought stress than untreated plants.
Therefore, these results demonstrate that compositions comprising hydroxycinnamic acid dérivative oligomers may be used to improve plant tolérance to an abiotic stress.
Example 8: Mixture of oligoferulate and chitosan induces plant defense reaction in Arabidopsis thaliana cells cultured in vitro
Plant cell suspension cultures are widely used in plant pathology as a usefiil tool for the screening of molécules acting as elicitors of a wide range of plant defense responses against infection by pathogens. Among them, PAL activation and H2O2 accumulation are two widely used biochemical marker of plant résistance activation to biotic stresses.
Materials and Methods
Cells Suspension from Arabidopsis thaliana strain L-MMl were grown in Murashige and Skoog medium (4.43 g/L) with sucrose (30 g/L) and 0.5 pg/mL of alphanaphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and 0.05 pg/mL of Kinetin, pH 5.7. Cultures were maintained under a 16 h / 8 h light/dark photoperiod, at 25°C, on a rotary shaker at 100 rpm. Cells were diluted 10-fold in fresh medium every 7 days. In this bioassays, the composition comprising 0.005 % of oligoferulates and 0.5% of chitosan (hereinafter named “oligoferulates composition”) was prepared at different concentrations, filtered through a 0.22 pm membrane filter (Millipore) and aseptically added to 5 mL of 3 daysold suspension-cultured cells and left to incubate 24 hours at 24°C under mild agitation. Water was used as control. The reaction mixture was centrifuged at 4°C for 5 min at max RCF of 100 g at 4°C to collect the cells (for PAL activity measurement) and supernatant (for H2O2 measurement).
PAL activity
After centriftigal, cells were homogenized at 4°C in 1 ml of 0.1 M borate buffer (pH 8.8) containing 2 mM mercaptoethanol. The homogenate was centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 10 minutes at 4°C. PAL (EC 4.3.1.5) activity was determined in 0.125 ml supernatant in the presence of 1.37 ml 0.1 M borate buffer (pH 8.8) supplemented with 60 mM L-Phenylalanine as described by Beaudoin-Eagan and Thorpe (Plant Physiol. 1985; 78(3):438-41). Protein concentration of the extracts was determined by the Bradford protein assay (Bio-Rad).
H2O2 measurement
H2O2 concentration was measured in the supernatant using the Amplex Red hydrogen peroxide/Peroxidase Assay Kit (Molecular Probes) according to the supplier’s instructions.
Results
PAL activity
Results show that PAL activity increases in a dose-dependent manner according to the concentration of oligoferulates in the composition (Figure 8). Therefore, oligoferulates of the composition induce PAL activation of the plant, which is a marker of plant résistance activation. These results thus demonstrate the activation of plant résistance by 5 oligoferulates.
H2O2 measurement
Results show that H2O2 accumulâtes in the plant in a dose-dependent manner according to the concentration of oligoferulates in the composition (Figure 9). Oligoferulates of the composition thus induce H2O2 accumulation in the plant. As H2O2 accumulation is a IO marker of plant résistance activation, these results demonstrate the stimulation of plant résistance by oligoferulates of the invention.
PAL activity and H2O2 accumulation are markers of the common plant résistance mechanism of defense to a wide range of stress conditions induced by a pathogen. Therefore, these results show that compositions of the invention improve tolérance of a 15 plant against a biotic stress.
Example 9: Foliar spraying of oligoferulates on tomato plants induces proline accumulation, while others antioxidants are unable
Materials and Methods
Antioxidant test
The antioxidant activity of oligoferulates prepared as described in example 1, ferulic acid (W518301, Sigma-Aldrich), gallic acid (27645, Sigma-Aldrich) and ascorbic acid (A0278, Sigma-Aldrich) was determined using a method based on the scavenging of the stable radical 2,2-diphenyl-l-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) (Brand Williams et al, Food Sci Technol-Lebens Wissens Technol. 1995; 28:25-30) and the results expressed as IC50 (concentration of antioxidant which reduces the free radical DPPH· about 50%). This method is frequently used to predict the antioxidant activities of different molécules.
Biological activity
Tomato plants of the variety moneymaker were grown for 3 weeks on soil under controlled conditions (light/dark régime of 16 h/8 h respectively, at 24.5°C). After 24 hours, the true leaves from plants treated by spraying were collected and ground in liquid nitrogen. Formulations containing gallic acid, ascorbic acid, ferulic acid or 5 oligoferulates at the same concentrations (5 ppm), and Tween 80 (Polysorbate 80) at
0.01% as emulsifier were sprayed on the tomato leaves till run off. A solution of Tween 80 at 0.01% was used as control.
Proline (Pro) was estimated in tomato leaves according to Bâtes et al. (Plant and Soil. 1973, 39:205-207) based on proline’s reaction with ninhydrin. A 500 mg fresh leaf 10 samples were homogenized in 5 mL of 3% aqueous sulphosalycylic acid and centrifuged at 22000g for 5 min. The supematant was filtered through Sartorious filters (0.45 pm). Το 1 mL of the filtrate, 1 mL of ninhydrin reagent (2.5 g ninhydrin/100 mL of a solution 15 containing glacial acetic acid, distilled water and ortho-phosphoric acid 85% at a ratio of 6:3:1) was added and boiled in a water bath at 100°C for 1 h. Readings 15 were taken immediately at a wavelength of 546 nm. The proline concentration was determined from a standard curve using proline (sigma) and expressed as relative values respect to the content in control treatment as R/R control.
Results
Antioxidant test
The gallic acid shown the higher antioxidant activity (IC50 of 2 pg/mL) followed by the ascorbic acid (IC50 of 5 pg/mL) while ferulic acid (IC50 of 25 pg/mL) and oligoferulates (IC50 of 35 pg/mL) showed a lower antioxidant activity.
Biological activity
Results show that among the molécules sprinkled on tomato plants, only the 25 formulation comprising oligoferulates showed the ability to induce the accumulation of proline in plants (Figure 10).
Taken together, these results demonstrate that the biological activity of oligomers of ferulic acid in plants is not related to its antioxidant activity.
Example ΙΟ: Foliar spraying of a composition containing oligoferulates on wheat plants induce accumulation of osmo-protectants (proline)
Materials and Methods
Wheat plants of the variety Homero were grown for 2 weeks on soil under controlled 5 conditions (light/dark régime of 16 h/8 h respectively, at 24.5°C). A formulation containing tween 80 (Polysorbate 80) at 0.01% as emulsifier and a composition of chitosan (5 mg/L) and oligoferulates (0.15 mg/L) was sprayed on the wheat leaves till run off. A solution containing only tween 80 (Polysorbate 80) at 0.01% was used as control.
Every 24 hours, true leaves from plants treated (and control) by spraying were collected and ground in liquid nitrogen. This way, a time-response curve for proline accumulation induced by foliar spraying of the oligoferulates formulation on wheat plants was established.
Proline (Pro) was estimated in wheat leaves according to Bâtes et al. (Plant and Soil. 15 1973, 39:205-207) based on proline's reaction with ninhydrin. The proline concentration was determined from a standard curve using proline (sigma) and expressed as relative values respect to the content in control treatment as R/R control.
Results
Results show that proline accumulation in wheat leaves was strongly dépendent on the 20 time after foliar application (Figure 11). Half-maximum proline accumulation was observed at the day 5 after application. Proline reached a maximum at day 7 and just after declined.
These results demonstrate that application of oligoferulates on a plant induces an increase of the proline content of the plant. Proline accumulation is a common 25 physiological response in many plants in response to a wide range of stresses, including biotic and abiotic stresses. Therefore, application of oligoferulates according to the invention leads to proline accumulation in plant, thereby improving plant stress tolérance.
Example 11 : Foliar spraying of oligomers of ferulic acid, coumaric acid and caffeic acid on tomato plants induces proline accumulation
Materials and Methods
Oligomers of caffeic acid and coumaric acid were prepared by the same procedure 5 described in example l for the préparation of oligomers of ferulic acid. In short, a solution of 5 mM of each hydroxycinnamic acid in methanol (50 mL) was added to 180 mL of ethyl acetate. After mixing, 200 mL of solution of laccase l U/mL (Sigma38429, Laccase from Trametes versicolor) in 50 mM sodium acetate buffer (pH 5.0) was added, and the reaction carried out at 25°C for 24 hours by shaking on an orbital 10 shaker at 150 rpm. At the end, the organic phase was separated using a séparation tunnel and the aqueous phase washed twice with ethyl acetate. Ail ethyl acetate extracts were evaporated under reduced pressure using a rotary evaporator to recover the hydroxycinnamic dérivative oligomers in powder form.
Tomato plants of the variety moneymaker were grown for 3 weeks on soil under 15 controlled conditions (light/dark régime of 16 h/8 h respectively, at 24.5°C). After 24 hours, the true leaves from plants treated by spraying were collected and ground in liquid nitrogen. Formulations comprising oligomers of ferulic, coumaric or caffeic acid at the same concentrations (5 ppm), and Tween 80 (Polysorbate 80) at 0.01% as emulsifier were sprayed on the tomato leaves till run off. A solution of Tween 80 at 20 0.01% was used as control. Proline (Pro) was estimated in tomato leaves according to
Bâtes et al. (Plant and Soil. 1973, 39:205-207) based on proline's reaction with ninhydrin. The proline concentration was determined from a standard curve using proline (sigma) and expressed as pmol of proline per fresh weight (g).
Results
Results are presented in Table 3.
Table 3: Proline content in tomato plants seven days after foliar spraying of different oligomers of hydroxycinnamic
Proline content (pmol/g fresh weight) | |
Formulation comprising Tween 80 (control) | 0.34 + 0.05 |
Formulation comprising ferulic acid oligomers (oligoferulates) | 0.84 + 0.05 |
Formulation comprising coumaric acid oligomers | 0.53 ± 0.07 |
Formulation comprising caffeic acid oligomers | 0.54 + 0.06 |
As shown in Example 10, oligomers of ferulic acid (oligoferulates) induce an increase of the proline content in the plant. Moreover, oligomers of other hydroxycinnamic dérivatives, namely coumaric acid oligomers and caffeic acid oligomers, also lead to an accumulation of proline in the plant.
Therefore, these results demonstrate that hydroxycinnamic dérivative oligomers are able to modulate the proline content of a plant, thereby improving plant stress tolérance.
