“…15 Recently, foliar application of 10 mmol L −1 of MSB was shown to protect tomato plants against two levels of disease pressure (2 × 10 4 and 2 × 10 5 conidia mL -1 ) of B. cinerea. 28 In this study, we found that soil drench treatment with 0.6 mmol L −1 MSB enhanced resistance in all wild-type tomato backgrounds tested under higher inoculum pressures (10 6 conidia mL -1 ) of B. cinerea. This effectiveness at the lower doses could be due to the different MSB application routes, experimental conditions or tomato cultivars.…”

“…27 It was recently reported that a foliar pre-treatment with 10 mmol L −1 MSB can protect tomato plants against B. cinerea. 28 In a previous study, we demonstrated how the 'primed state' exerted by MSB against salt stress can also be triggered using a root treatment. 29 This has additional economic advantages because it can be applied systemically through drip irrigation systems, nowadays one of the least costly ways to apply such treatments under field conditions.…”

BACKGROUND: Botrytis cinerea, the causal agent of gray mold has a great economic impact on several important crops. This necrotrophic fungus causes disease symptoms during vegetative growth and also into postharvest stages. The current method to combat this disease is fungicide application, with high economic costs and environmentally unsustainable impacts. Moreover, there is an increasing general public health concern about these strategies of crop protection. We studied the protection of tomato plants against B. cinerea by previous root treatment with menadione sodium bisulfite (MSB), a known plant defense activator.RESULTS: Root treatment 48 h before inoculation with MSB 0.6 mmol L −1 reduced leaf lesion diameter by 30% and notably cell deaths, compared to control plants 72 h after inoculation. We studied the expression level of several pathogenesis-related (PR) genes from different defense transduction pathways, and found that MSB primes higher PR1 expression against B. cinerea. However, this stronger induced resistance was impaired in transgenic salicylic acid-deficient NahG line. Additionally, in the absence of pathogen challenge, MSB increased tomato plant growth by 28% after 10 days. Our data provide evidence that MSB protects tomato plants against B. cinerea by priming defense responses through the salicylic acid (SA)-dependent signaling pathway and reducing oxidative stress.CONCLUSION: This work confirms the efficacy of MSB as plant defense activator against B. cinerea and presents a novel alternative to combat gray mold in important crops.

“…Our research group has studied in depth the anti-stress properties of a water-soluble derivative called menadione sodium bisulphite (MSB). Besides its capacity to induce resistance against many plant pathogens and pests [ 136 , 137 ], this molecule increases tolerance to seed treatment against salt stress in Arabidopsis [ 138 ], by root treatment [ 139 ], or foliar application [ 140 ]. Treatment under salt stress triggers a slight oxidative burst that elicits plant defences that lead to a faster relative growth rate, with enhanced water status and gas exchange parameters [ 139 ].…”

Water is indispensable for the life of any organism on Earth. Consequently, osmotic stress due to salinity and drought is the greatest threat to crop productivity. Ongoing climate change includes rising temperatures and less precipitation over large areas of the planet. This is leading to increased vulnerability to the drought conditions that habitually threaten food security in many countries. Such a scenario poses a daunting challenge for scientists: the search for innovative solutions to save water and cultivate under water deficit. A search for formulations including biostimulants capable of improving tolerance to this stress is a promising specific approach. This review updates the most recent state of the art in the field.

“…A long history of using MSB in poultry food in the U.S. can be traced back to 1958, demonstrating the safety of the MSB utilization . Except for being used as animal food additives, MSB was also employed as a plant defender to inactivate various pathogens , or as a detoxifier against some carcinogens . Despite the multifunctionalities mentioned above, few literatures reveal the photoactivity of MSB and its potential to be used as a photoinduced antibacterial agent, although it shares a similar basic aromatic ketone structure as other photoactive quinone derivatives, such as benzophenones and anthraquinones.…”

Menadione sodium bisulfite (MSB), also known as water-soluble vitamin K3 widely used as an animal food additive due to its low toxicity and low cost, is for the first time proven to be photoactive and antibacterial under various photoirradiation sources, evidenced by a computational modeling method and well-designed experiments. MSB demonstrates its robust photoactivity and application potential under ultraviolet A (UVA, 315–400 nm) irradiation. The results reveal that MSB could effectively generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) under UVA irradiation due to the formation of its oxidative triplet excited state. The photoinduced antibacterial tests also demonstrate the nonselective bacterial inactivation functions of MSB under proper photoirradiation. MSB was challenged against Gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Gram-positive Listeria innocua (L. innocua) under UVA irradiation and exhibited excellent antibacterial performance (99.999% bacterial inactivation in 30 min of UVA exposure) in PBS. The antibacterial performance of MSB does not decay after five times of repeated exposures to bacteria and UVA irradiation, indicating the photostability and durability of MSB as a photoinduced antibacterial agent. More interestingly, solvents played a significant role in photoinduced antibacterial properties but not in the generation of ROS of MSB, indicating that the solvents may serve as contact media between MSB and bacteria cells. Intimate contact of MSB and microorganisms is thought of as a determinant in the bacterial inactivation by ROS or triplet excited states due to their relatively short lifetime and limited diffusion and function radius.
