Plants have the ability to synthesize almost unlimited number of substances. In many cases, these chemicals serve in plant defense mechanisms against microorganisms, insects, and herbivores. Generally, any part of the plant may contain the various active ingredients. Among the plant, active compounds are saponins, which are traditionally used as natural detergents. The name 'saponin' comes from the Latin word 'sapo,' which means 'soap' as saponins show the unique properties of foaming and emulsifying agents. Steroidal and triterpenoid saponins can be used in many industrial applications, from the preparation of steroid hormones in the pharmaceutical industry to utilization as food additives that exploit their non-ionic surfactant properties. Saponins also exhibit different biological activities. This chapter has been prepared by participants of the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Action-Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE) in the framework of the proposal 'ECOSAPONIN.' Interactions between the participants, including chemists, physicists, technologists, microbiologists and botanists from four countries, will contribute to the development of collaborative ties and further promote research and development in the area of saponins in Europe and China. Although this chapter cannot provide a comprehensive account of the state of knowledge regarding plant saponins, we hope that it will help make saponins the focus of ongoing international cooperation.

NMR-Based Metabolic Profiling of Field-Grown Leaves from Sugar Beet Plants Harbouring Different Levels of Resistance to Cercospora Leaf Spot Disease

et al. 2017

Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) is one of the most serious leaf diseases for sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) worldwide. The breeding of sugar beet cultivars with both high CLS resistance and high yield is a major challenge for breeders. In this study, we report the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolic profiling of field-grown leaves for a subset of sugar beet genotypes harbouring different levels of CLS resistance. Leaves were collected from 12 sugar beet genotypes at four time points: seedling, early growth, root enlargement, and disease development stages. 1H-NMR spectra of foliar metabolites soluble in a deuterium-oxide (D2O)-based buffer were acquired and subjected to multivariate analyses. A principal component analysis (PCA) of the NMR data from the sugar beet leaves shows clear differences among the growth stages. At the later time points, the sugar and glycine betaine contents were increased, whereas the choline content was decreased. The relationship between the foliar metabolite profiles and resistance level to CLS was examined by combining partial least squares projection to latent structure (PLS) or orthogonal PLS (OPLS) analysis and univariate analyses. It was difficult to build a robust model for predicting precisely the disease severity indices (DSIs) of each genotype; however, GABA and Gln differentiated susceptible genotypes (genotypes with weak resistance) from resistant genotypes (genotypes with resistance greater than a moderate level) before inoculation tests. The results suggested that breeders might exclude susceptible genotypes from breeding programs based on foliar metabolites profiled without inoculation tests, which require an enormous amount of time and effort.

Soil salinity is a prevalent abiotic stress and affects around 20% of the irrigated land worldwide. Saline soil affects plant mineral nutrition and water uptake capacity. Plants adopt several strategies to combat salt stress such as synthesis of compatible solutes, control of ions uptake and transportation, production of enzymes and plant growth hormones, and ions accumulation or exclusion. Moreover, plants can also adapt to salt stress through a change in the whole metabolomics to overcome salt stress over a period of time. Metabolites, such as sugars, for instance, are important targets for mitigation of symptoms of salt stress. In spite of the scientific progress to date, still massive research work is to be done to investigate the actual physiological and molecular mechanism of metabolome and the underlying involved genes associated with salt resistance. In addition, expression, regulation, and function of genes and genetic pathways of metabolites, for example, proline, glycine betaine, abscisic acid, jasmonates, and flavonoids, that lead to the reestablishment of proper cellular ionic and osmotic homeostasis during salt stress, are not yet completely understood. This review presents an overview of past and current research on how plants, especially important crop plants, combat salt stress. Further, an attempt has been made to evaluate the gaps in current research and explore the role of genetic studies involved in metabolomics in order to enhance crop yield of salt‐affected soils in future.
