Solanum lycopersicum Seedlings. Metabolic Responses Induced by the Alkamide Affinin.

ABSTRACT: Alkamides have been observed to interact in different ways in several superior organisms and have been used in traditional medicine in many countries e.g., to relieve pain. Previous studies showed that affinin when applied to other plant species induces prominent changes in the root architecture and induces transcriptional adjustments; however, little is known about the metabolic pathways recruited by plants in response to alkamides. Previous published work with Arabidopsis seedlings treated in vitro with affinin at 50 µM significantly reduced primary root length. In tomato seedlings, that concentration did not reduce root growth but increase the number and length of lateral roots. Non-targeted metabolomic analysis by Gas Chromatography couplet to Mass Spectrometry (GC/EIMS) showed that, i
