“…WV is a complex mixture, which contains various types of complicated chemical ingredients, namely organic acids, phenolic, alkane, furan derivatives, esters, alcohol, sugar derivatives, and nitrogen compounds [1,3]. The chemical composition of WV mainly depends on the heating rate, temperature, residence time, particle size, and the feedstock [4]. As a natural agricultural material, it contains important biologically active components, such as organic acid and phenolic compounds, and has been widely applied in the areas of medicine, food, and agriculture [5,6].…”

Wood vinegar (WV) or pyroligneous acid (PA) is a reddish-brown liquid created during the dry distillation of biomass, a process called pyrolysis. WV contains important biologically active components, which can enhance plant growth and tolerance to drought stress. However, its mechanism of action remains unknown. Our results after presoaking wheat seeds with various concentrations of WV indicate that a 1:900 WV concentration can significantly enhance growth. To investigate the response of wheat roots to drought stress, we compared quantitative proteomic profiles in the roots of wheat plants grown from seeds either presoaked (treatment) or non-presoaked (control) with WV. Our results indicated that the abscisic acid (ABA) content of wheat roots in the WV treatment was significantly increased. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malonaldehyde (MDA) levels roots were significantly lower than in the control treatment under drought stress, while the activity of major antioxidant enzymes was significantly increased. Two-dimensional electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) identified 138 differentially accumulated protein (DAP) spots representing 103 unique protein species responding to drought stress in wheat roots of the control and WV-treated groups. These DAPs are mostly involved in the stress response, carbohydrate metabolism, protein metabolism, and secondary metabolism. Proteome profiles showed the DAPs involved in carbohydrate metabolism, stress response, and secondary metabolism had increased accumulation in roots of the WV-treated groups. These findings suggest that the roots from wheat seeds presoaked with WV can initiate an early defense mechanism to mitigate drought stress. These results provide an explanation of how WV enhances the tolerance of wheat plants to drought stress.

“…This composition, rich in different organic compounds, provides WV with a wide variety of properties, particularly insecticidal, fungicidal, or herbicidal properties, among others, which have been extensively studied in recent years, LUIS AGUIRRE Et AL. (Adfa et al, 2020;Aguirre et al, 2020;Grewal et al, 2018;Ibrahim et al, 2013). The use of WV as an herbicide has attracted great interest in recent years, due to the search for bio-herbicidal alternatives to glyphosate.…”

“…WD finds application in diverse areas, as antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiinflammatory, plant growth stimulator, coagulant for natural rubber, and termiticidal and pesticidal agent (Grewal et al 2018). Moreover, it was found effective against a wide range of organisms, eukaryotes and prokaryotes, and a clear correlation between WD antimicrobial properties and its chemical composition was documented (Hou et al 2018;Suresh et al 2019).…”

The antibacterial properties of a wood distillate obtained from residual virgin chestnut biomass were investigated by means of quantitative MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) test and a whole-cell assay that specifically responds to different classes of antimicrobials on the basis of the mode of action. Results indicate that wood distillate is active against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria related to human and/or fish diseases with a mechanism, which could mainly affect wall components and plasma membrane of the bacterial cells. These findings highlight the possible sustainable use of chestnut residues as a source of bioactive natural compounds with antibacterial properties.
