Metabolic profiling and antibacterial activity of tree wood extracts obtained under variable extraction conditions.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Tree bacterial diseases are a threat in forestry due to their increasing incidence and severity. Understanding tree defence mechanisms requires evaluating metabolic changes arising during infection. Metabolite extraction affects the chemical diversity of the samples and, therefore, the biological relevance of the data. Metabolite extraction has been standardized for several biological models. However, little information is available regarding how it influences wood extract's chemical diversity.

Objectives

This study aimed to develop a methodological approach to obtain extracts from different tree species with the highest reproducibility and chemical diversity possible, to ensure proper coverage of the trees' metabolome.

Methods

A full factorial design was
