Research
The research taking place at the Plant Biotechnology Laboratory of the University of Algarve falls into the following main fields:
Plant tissue culture: in this research line, we use plant tissue culture techniques for the propagation of wild endangered species, aromatic/medicinal and plants of agronomic interest. So far, in vitropropagation protocols have been developed for several species, such as Ceratonia siliqua, Drosera intermedia, Drosophyllum lusitanicum, Lavandula viridis, Pinguicula lusitanica, Thymus lotocephalus, Tuberaria globularifolia var. major, among others. These methodologies allow the propagation of uniform plants in a controlled environment, independently of seasonal variations, and, therefore, have been a useful tool for other studies, namely: i) to study the physiological and (bio)chemical response of species of the Lamiaceae family to abiotic stress conditions (drought, temperature, salinity and UVB radiation) with special emphasis on the production of phenolic compounds and essential oils; and ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of manipulating the composition of the culture medium and of elicitation in increasing the production of phenolic compounds of industrial interest aiming their sustainable production.
Germplasm conservation: worldwide, many plant species are threatened with extinction especially due to various human activities. Yet plants are part of our natural heritage, and it is our responsibility to preserve and protect them for future generations. The application of conservation approaches based on biotechnology has given a major contribution to plant conservation. The purpose is not the replacement of traditional conservation methods but to complement and improve the methods already available. Biotechnology can provide tools not only for germplasm conservation but also for its management and utilization. The field of application ranges from the conservation of endangered wild species to the storage of genotypes or genetically modified material of economically important species. At the Plant Biotechnology Laboratory, we have contributed to the ex situ conservation of several wild species in the Algarve region, including endemic and endangered species, using different biotechnological tools. In addition to developing numerous in vitro propagation protocols based on tissue culture, we also carry out cryopreservation experiments. Cryopreservation is a type of long-term conservation and can be applied to different types of tissues, including seeds, shoot tips, or nodal segments. Seeds from Thymus lotocephalus, Tuberaria globularifolia var. major and Plantago algarbiensis, endemic and rare species from the Algarve, were successfully cryopreserved. We developed protocols for cryopreservation of shoot tips (T. lotocephalus and T. globularifolia), and nodal segments (P. algarbiensis), using the cryopreservation methods vitrification, droplet-vitrification and encapsulationdehydration. More recently, we have begun to test the feasibility of using natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) as a substitute for conventional cryoprotective solutions used in vitrification-based methods, which are often toxic to plant cells. NADES could be a green and less harmful alternative to plant tissues, contributing to the development of new cryopreservation strategies not only for the aforementioned species but also for other vulnerable species. In addition to micropropagation and cryopreservation, we also carry out genetic diversity studies of populations of these species, which may contribute to the creation of effective conservation strategies, preventing their decline.
Chemical and biological characterization of matrices from wild plants and agro-food products: given the growing demand for natural products, mainly of plant origin, and the importance of Mediterranean flora valorization, this research line aims at optimizing processes for extracting bioactive compounds from plant matrices, giving priority to the use of green methodologies and solvents, and the subsequent phytochemical and bioactivity study of the extractables obtained. In this context, we prioritize the study of edible and/or medicinal wild plants and traditional agri-food products from the Algarve,and the use of natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) as an alternative to more toxic organic solvents. Phytochemical studies include mainly the analysis of the phenolic and/or volatile profile. The evaluation of bioactivity includes several in vitro tests, with the aim of evaluating the medicinal or cosmetic potential (antioxidant, enzyme inhibitor, photoprotector) of the obtained extracts/products.Combined studies of Phlomis purpurea metabolome and transcriptome to unveil mechanisms underlying the auto-immunity of this plant to the devastating pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi.In addition to understanding the involvement of secondary metabolites in the defenseof P. purpurea it is expected to disclose new substances with potential therapeutic effects as a profusion of secondary metabolites from this genus has been isolated and identified, some of them presenting pharmacological activity.Study of Phlomis purpurea potential as an antagonist for phytopathogens biological control aiming at the implementation of a safer strategy than the use of fungicides or other hazardous molecules to prevent root rot of crops or forest species.Field studies in cork oak forest to assess the capacity of Phlomis purpurea to eradicate Phytophthora cinnamomi.
Handling and valuing renewable resources: the extraction and dissolution of value-added compounds (such as polyphenols) and natural biopolymers (such as cellulose, lignin, chitin, locust bean gum and fibroin) arehighly relevant in the context of valuing agroforestry residues. Our work has essentially focused on the development of new solvents, such as binary and ternary eutectic systems. Systems consisting of cations and anions of biological origin, such as those obtained from natural organic acids, amino acids, non-nutritive sweeteners or natural compounds, such as choline or betaine, have been explored. This research line also seeks to understand the fundamental aspects (intermolecular interactions) that determine or affect the extraction and/or dissolution performance of a given solvent. The regeneration (precipitation, gelation) of biopolymers, the mechanisms involved and the development of new materials, such as composites, films, foams, resins and particles are other important aspects of the research line. In this context, we have sought to develop films for applications both in packaging and as triboelectric materials for energy harvesting. On the other hand, the developed foams have been explored as matrices for removing polluting agents from aqueous media. New functionalities of the biopolymers are also envisaged, with the aim of increasing their versatility and applicability. New cellulose and lignin derivatives have been developed (tuning the charge density and degree of hydrophobicity) with the objective of their incorporation in cosmetic formulations (hair conditioners) or as flocculating agents for microplastics or even for the development of new hydrogels for agricultural applications with superior absorption capacity and controlled release of water, fertilizers and phytochemicals. The laboratory also has equipment for the mechanical and optical rheological characterization of several systems with very different properties (from viscous fluids to elastic solids)
