The hydroxycinnamic acid amides (HCAAs) are a diverse group of plant-specialized phenylpropanoid metabolites distributed widely in the plant kingdom and are known to be involved in tolerance to abiotic and biotic stress. The HCAA clovamide is reported in a small number of distantly related species. To explore the contribution of specialized metabolites to disease resistance in cacao (Theobroma cacao L., chocolate tree), we performed untargeted metabolomics using liquid chromatography – tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and compared the basal metabolite profiles in leaves of two cacao genotypes with contrasting levels of susceptibility to Phytophthora spp. Leaves of the tolerant genotype ‘Scavina 6’ (‘Sca6’) were found to accumulate dramatically higher levels of clovamide and several other HCAAs compared to the susceptible ‘Imperial College Selection 1’ (‘ICS1’). Clovamide was the most abundant metabolite in ‘Sca6’ leaf extracts based on MS signal, and was up to 58-fold higher in ‘Sca6’ than in ‘ICS1’. In vitro assays demonstrated that clovamide inhibits growth of three pathogens of cacao in the genus Phytophthora, is a substrate for cacao polyphenol oxidase, and is a contributor to enzymatic browning. Furthermore, clovamide inhibited proteinase and pectinase in vitro, activities associated with defense in plant-pathogen interactions. Fruit epidermal peels from both genotypes contained substantial amounts of clovamide, but two sulfated HCAAs were present at high abundance exclusively in ‘Sca6’ suggesting a potential functional role of these compounds. The potential to breed cacao with increased HCAAs for improved agricultural performance is discussed.

“…A. oleracea is typically cultivated in the field by direct sowing. It prefers moist and clayey soils, rich in organic substances, among which nitrogen plays a fundamental role [ 34 ]. Its crops need some treatments; they must be constantly watered, to prevent them from drying out quickly, and they must be exposed to the sun as they cannot grow in full shade.…”

“…Furthermore, Nascimento et al evaluated the influence of the type of cultivation, hydroponic or conventional, on the chemical profile of leaves, flowers, and stems of A. oleracea . The aerial parts showed a higher content of polyphenols and flavonoids in conventional crops than in hydroponic ones, except for flowers [ 34 ].…”

“…In Taiwan, jambù is traditionally cooked with duck, but over time, its use has been extended to rice dishes (Pará rice), pizza, and salads [ 53 ]. Moreover, it is used as a spice in some countries [ 56 ], and the extracts of the plant are used as food flavorings in kitchens all over the world [ 34 ]. The most widely reported use of A. oleracea is medicinal, especially against toothache [ 29 ], being described as a toothache plant [ 57 , 58 , 59 ]: it is applied directly to the pain site due to its anesthetic property [ 13 ] but also formulated in a tincture or in the form of an oral gel [ 50 ].…”

Human pathologies, environmental pollution, and resistance phenomena caused by the intensive use of chemical pesticides have shifted the attention of the agrochemical industries towards eco-friendly insecticides and acaricides. Acmella oleracea (L.) R. K. Jansen (jambù) is a plant native to South America, widely distributed and cultivated in many countries due to its numerous pharmacological properties. This review analyzes literature about the plant, its uses, and current knowledge regarding insecticidal and acaricidal activity. Acmella oleracea has proven to be a potential pesticide candidate against several key arthropod pest and vector species. This property is inherent to its essential oil and plant extract, which contain spilanthol, the main representative of N-alkylamides. As a result, there is a scientific basis for the industrial exploitation of jambù in the preparation of green insecticides. However, studies related to its toxicity towards non-target species and those aimed at formulating and developing marketable products are lacking.

“…First identified by Gerber in 1903 as identical to affinin 1, spilanthol has been mostly found in Acmella flowers, leaves, and stems [4,7,8,[12][13][14][15][16], but also in roots [17,18], and its accumulation in in vitro cell cultures has been documented [2,3]. Due to its pharmacological importance, based on a series of effects typical of alkylamides, such as analgesic, neuroprotective, antioxidant, antimutagenic, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anti-larvicidal, and insecticidal activities [19], many protocols for spilanthol production and extraction have been developed (see [19] for a review; [20]). Besides recent in vivo treatments with biostimulants [21], a good approach to obtain a great number of plants, in a short period of time under selected standardized conditions of cultivation, is the use of in vitro plant cultures [2,3,8,[22][23][24][25][26][27].…”

Acmella oleracea L. is an important medicinal plant, commonly known as the toothache plant. It is a rich source of secondary metabolites used for the treatment of different human disorders. The demand for Acmella oleracea L. has increased due to its putative health benefits (in terms of both biomass quantity and bioactive compound purification). In vitro plant cultures have allowed the rapid increase of raw material availability through the use of suitable regeneration and multiplication systems. On the other hand, there is a general lack of methods for Acmella genetic transformation as a promising new technological approach for the improvement of secondary metabolites. In this work, an efficient transformation protocol has been established using the Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404 strain bearing the binary vector pBI121 containing the NPTII gene for the resistance to kanamycin. Plant genetic transformation has been verified by direct polymerase chain reaction and GUS assay on regenerants. Transformation efficiency has been affected by the high level of the selection agent kanamycin. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the genetic transformation of A. oleracea, paving the way to further studies to improve in vitro plant growth and secondary metabolite production.
