Análise metabolômica e de metabólitos orgânicos voláteis em plantas de cana-de-açúcar em associação com microrganimos diazotróficos

Abstract

In the current agriculture is essential to adopt management strategies, low environmental impact. In this context, the environment comprising plant roots is of utmost importance, since they are in constant contact with microorganisms such as growth promoting rhizobacteria (RPCPs), known to affect the metabolism and resistance of plants, may help them dealing with biotic and abiotic stresses via promotion of growth, induced resistance, production of phytohormones compounds, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and ability to fix nitrogen. Studies of associative rhizobacteria led to discovery of Azospirillum genus isolated in grasses and cereals grown in several countries of tropical and temperate. Regarding endophytic microorganisms G. diazotrophicus is a Gram-negative bacteria, obligatory aerobic and non-spore forming isolated initially from sugar cane in Brazil. This study was based on the assumption that the RPCPs can change the resistance of plants to insect herbivores, and to evaluate the influence of the joint action of two strains of RPCPs (Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus and Azospirillum sp) in metabolome of plant cane -Sugar variety SP 79-1011 but also in plant defense mechanism herbivory by Diatraea saccharalis. The metabolites present in higher concentration both in inoculated plants as on control plants were identified by analysis metaolomica by the NMR technique. Compounds identified in higher concentration in inoculated plants were carbohydrates, aromatic compounds, amino acids and organic acids. In control plants and amino compounds were inetrmediarios Krebs cycle. Changes in the volatile organic compounds VOCs profile were identified by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. Qualitative and quantitative changes have occurred in the overall volatile profile emitted by plants inoculated as compared to the profile of volatile issued by the control plants, which could be contributing to preference Diatraea saccharalis the control plants from the plants inoculated in bioassay chance choice. VOCs present changes in the profile of infested plants with Diatraea saccharalis. Bioassay no choice there was no significant difference in saccharalis Diatraea weight gain fed control or inoculated plants.
