“…Pigments are the essential components for growth and development and they can determine the health status of plants (Hussain et al, 2017;Gorni et al, 2020). Based on our results, the applica tion the elicitors SA and FA alone or in combination suggest an increase in chlorophyll a (Table 4).…”

“…Tomato plants treated with SA and FA presented higher total biomass (Table 2). The effect of elicitors plays a key role in growth regulation, plant develop ment and these findings can be associated with the changes in hormone functions or the improvement of photosynthesis and carbohydrate accumulation in plants (Hussain et al, 2017;Gorni et al, 2020). The foliar application of SA and FA trigger a greater cellu lar activity that result in a larger number of leaves and leaf area, thus presenting a larger photosynthetic surface, improving the physiological processes (Gorni and Pahceco, 2016;Hussain et al, 2017).…”

“…Salicylic acid (SA), a natural plant hormone, act as an important sig nalling molecule triggering tolerance against abiotic and biotic stresses (HernándezRuiz and Arnao, 2018;Gorni et al, 2020;Gorni et al, 2021). SA plays a significant role in many physiological and biochemical processes of the plant, being able to act as growth regulators and also as an abiotic elicitor capable of increasing the synthesis of secondary compounds beneficial to human health (Javanmardi and Akbari, 2016).…”

Salicylic acid (SA) and ferulic acid (FA) are considered phenolic compounds that act as elicitors due to their regulatory functions on plant growth, development, metabolic and physiological responses in plants. The aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of SA and FA on growth, fruit quality and synthesis of secondary metabolites in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum cultivar Santa Clara). The experiment was conducted in pots in a greenhouse. The application of SA and FA was performed at concentration of 1.0 mmol L-1 alone and in combination, with water treated plants as control. Exogenous application of SA and FA either alone or in combination (SA + FA) resulted in increases in biomass accumulation and chlorophyll contents in tomato plant; and soluble sugar, total polyphenol, flavonoids, lycopene and β-carotene contents in fruits. It was concluded that application of SA and FA resulted in higher production and concentration of secondary compounds in tomato.

“…Although more appreciated in the market for its content in CBDs from plant's inflorescences and for the wide utilization of the aerial parts, here we applied and tested aeroponics to C. Sativa, whose roots exhibit a fairly high content in potentially valuable constituents characterized by pharmacological, nutraceutical and cosmeceutical attractive activities. Notably, we show that the yield of these components on a per plant basis was invariably and significantly higher in AP and AEP as compared to SP, and that using salicylate as elicitor [20,21] accumulation of all bioactives could be attained (with the exception of β-sitosterol which only slightly decreased as compared to AP).…”

Cannabis Sativa L. has been used for a long time to obtain food, fiber and as a medicinal and psychoactive plant. Today the nutraceutical potential of C. Sativa is being increasingly reappraised; however, C. Sativa roots remain poorly studied, despite citations in the scientific literature. In this direction, we identified and quantified the presence of valuable bioactives (namely β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, campesterol, friedelin and epi-friedelanol) in the root extracts of C. Sativa, a finding which might pave the way to the exploitation of the therapeutic potential of C. Sativa in all its parts. To facilitate roots harvesting and processing, aeroponic (AP) and aeroponic elicited cultures (AEP), have been set up and compared to soil-cultivated plant (SP): interestingly a considerable overgrowth of the plants - particularly of roots - and a significant increase (up to 20 fold in the case of β-sitosterol) in the total content of the above roots’ bioactive molecules have been observed in AP and AEP. In conclusion aeroponics, an easy, standardised, free of contaminant cultivation tecchnique, allows an ease harvesting/processing of roots along with a greater production of their secondary bioactive metabolites which could be utilized in the formulation of health promoting and health care products.

Cannabis sativa L. has been used for a long time to obtain food, fiber, and as a medicinal and psychoactive plant. Today, the nutraceutical potential of C. sativa is being increasingly reappraised; however, C. sativa roots remain poorly studied, despite citations in the scientific literature.

To facilitate root harvesting and processing, aeroponic (AP) and aeroponic-elicited cultures (AEP) were established and compared to soil-cultivated plants (SP). Interestingly, considerably increased plant growth—particularly of the roots—and a significant increase (up to 20-fold in the case of β-sitosterol) in the total content of the aforementioned roots’ bioactive molecules were observed in AP and AEP. In conclusion, aeroponics, an easy, standardized, contaminant-free cultivation technique, facilitates the harvesting/processing of roots along with a greater production of their secondary bioactive metabolites, which could be utilized in the formulation of health-promoting and health-care products.
