“…Research on producing transgenic peppermint with high capability to produce menthol has not been succeeded 34,36 . Studies in which abiotic stress or elicitors were exploited have gained some degree of success in enhancing menthol production by virtue of up‐regulating genes involved in the menthol production pathway 37–39 . However, abiotic stresses can possibly reduce plant yield (biomass).…”

BackgroundClimate change and growing global population are driving forces that shift the agriculture from open fields to environmentally‐controlled confined systems. In such confined systems, plants are adapted to unique light spectra to achieve maximal qualitative and quantitative yields. In the present study, effects of five light spectra on morpho‐physiological and molecular attributes of peppermint were examined. Treatments included a traditional greenhouse considered as the control, a fluorescent light, and four types of light emitting diodes (LED): red, blue, red‐blue (70:30), and white. Leaf samples were collected from plants and analyzed for volatile constituents using a headspace GC–MS. Meanwhile, changes in the expression profile of genes involved in the biosynthesis of menthol were evaluated.ResultsOur results showed that maximal yield (wet and dry biomass) was achieved under greenhouse condition and the red‐blue LED. Application of the red‐blue LED resulted in maximal production of beneficial monoterpenes, which indicate superiority to greenhouse environment. A significant change in the gene expression profile was observed among plants grown under different light treatments. The red‐blue LED was associated with a significant up‐regulation of key genes in the menthol biosynthesis (menthol dehydrogenase and pulegone reductase). This phenomenon was consistent with a higher menthol production under the same condition.ConclusionThe application of red‐blue LED was associated with the highest level of yield and menthol production, whereas it resulted in lower concentrations of unfavorable by‐products (isomenthol, cis‐pulegone, and menthofuran). In conclusion, 70:30 red‐blue LED can be satisfactory applied to maximize growth yield and optimize favorable bioactive constituent in peppermint.

“…Mast cell degranulation in the lungs and airways may be activated with its specific allergen through IgE cross-linking on a mast cell surface or by various secretagogues [ 3 , 4 ], and subsequently induce different allergic symptoms due to the release of different mediators, including histamine, tryptase, and β-hexosaminidase [ 1 , 2 , 4 , 17 ]. Importantly, we evidenced that menthone inhalation in vivo significantly ( p < 0.05) decreased the release of β-hexosaminidase from lung mast cells ( Figure 4 ), further suggesting that menthone inhalation may alleviate allergic inflammation of the lungs and airways by stabilizing lung mast cells and inhibiting mast cell degranulation ( Figure 4 ).…”

“…Menthone is rich in Mentha × Piperita L. essential oil and it has anti-inflammatory properties. It was found useful (possibly through percutaneous absorption) in treating Schistosoma mansoni infections, depressive disorders, gallbladder diseases, and DNA damage in sperm cells [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ]. Moreover, menthone was found to alleviate type I allergic reactions via inhibiting histamine release from antigen-induced rat peritoneal mast cells [ 16 ].…”

Menthone is rich in Mentha × Piperita L. essential oil and it has anti-inflammatory properties; research shows that it is useful, via percutaneous absorption, in treating inflammation-related diseases. However, anti-allergic inflammatory effects of volatile menthone have not yet been used to treat allergic asthma, in vivo. We hypothesized that menthone inhalation may have anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects in patients with allergic asthma. Therefore, in our study, menthone inhalation was used to treat ovalbumin (OVA)-sensitized and challenged asthmatic mice. Allergic inflammation mediator changes in the lungs and airways, sera, splenocytes, and peritoneal macrophages of the mice were measured. Relative expression amounts of six receptor genes related to allergic inflammation of the lungs and airways were quantitated using a two-step real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Results showed that menthone inhalation increased serum OVA-specific IgG2a/IgG1 and IgG2a/IgE ratios, increased Th1-type cytokine production in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and decreased nitric oxide, protein, and eotaxin levels. Menthone inhalation inhibited mast cell and eosinophil degranulation, and chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 3 (Ccr3) gene expression amounts, but (relatively) increased Th1 cytokine secretion by splenocytes. Our results evidence that menthone inhalation alleviates local and systemic allergic inflammation in asthmatic mice.

“…In a study, Gorelick and Bernstein [135] observed differential effect of fungal elicitation in Cannabis sativa plants where fungal elicitation increases the production of cannabinoid and 3-deoxyanthocyanidin but causes significant reduction in anthocyanin content. Furthermore, researchers have also used arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal inoculum along with foliar application of chitosan that significantly boosted the biosynthesis of menthol and essential oils in Mentha × Piperita L. [136].…”

Hyacinth bean also known as Indian bean is multipurpose legume crops consumed both as food by humans and as forage by animals. Being a rich source of protein, it also produces distinct secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, phenols and tyrosinase which not only help strengthened plant’s own innate immunity against abiotic/biotrophic attackers but also play important therapeutic role in the treatment of various chronic diseases. However, despite its immense therapeutic and nutritional attributes in strengthening food, nutrition and therapeutic security in many developing countries, it is still considered as an “orphan crop” for unravelling its genetic potential and underlying molecular mechanisms for enhancing secondary metabolite production. Several lines of literatures have well documented the use of OMICS based techniques and biotic and abiotic elicitors for stimulating secondary metabolite production particularly in model as well as in few economically important crops. However, only limited reports have described their application for stimulating secondary metabolite production in underutilised crops. Therefore, the present chapter will decipher different dimensions of multi-omics tools and their integration with other conventional techniques (biotic and abiotic elicitors) for unlocking hidden genetic potential of hyacinth bean for elevating the production of secondary metabolites having pharmaceutical and therapeutic application. Additionally, the study will also provide valuable insights about how these advance OMICS tools can be successfully exploited for accelerating functional genomics and breeding research for unravelling their hidden pharmaceutical and therapeutic potential thereby ensuring food and therapeutic security for the betterment of mankind.
