Phytochemical Profiling, Anti-Inflammatory Action, and Human Gut Microbiota-Assisted Digestion of Rheum officinale Petiole and Root Extracts—An In Vitro Study
(MDPI, 2025-11-01) Liudvytska, Oleksandra; Kowalczyk, Mariusz; Krzyżanowska-Kowalczyk, Justyna; Michaś, Karolina; Michalak, Maria; Balcerczyk, Aneta; Skowrońska, Weronika; Równicki, Marcin; Bazylko, Agnieszka; Olszewska, Monika A.; Kolodziejczyk-Czepas, Joanna
Background/Objectives: Rheum officinale, an ethnomedicinal plant, has roots widely employed in modern pharmacological formulations. However, many of its biological activities remain only partly recognized. Furthermore, the metabolome and biological activity of its edible petioles, often considered a waste product, have received limited scientific attention. Methods and Results: The examination of anti-inflammatory properties of both root and petiole extracts (1–50 µg/mL) revealed the inhibition of the pro-inflammatory cytokine release from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, a reduction in ALOX5 gene expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells, and the significant inhibition (>60%) of cyclooxygenase-2 and 5-lipoxygenase activities. Importantly, no cytotoxic effects were detected at the tested concentrations. Conclusions: The petiole extract demonstrated anti-inflammatory efficiency comparable to, or exceeding that of the root extract, suggesting that R. officinale petioles could be valuable source of bioactive compounds for future investigations.

The use of beneficial bacterial strains is proposed as a nature based practice to support sustainable crop production. Strains exposed to extreme environmental stress may have developed robust stress resistance and the capacity to enhance plant growth under unfavorable conditions. Our study provides the new aspect in characterising bacteria from polluted soil. The novelty of our study was isolation of bacteria from a long-term contaminated site and their testing for plant growth promoting mechanisms. The aim of this research was to characterize bacterial strains, collected from the root zone of grasses growing in a heavily polluted smelter wasteland reclaimed 25 years ago using sewage sludge and by-product lime. Their capability to enhance plant resistance to stresses has not been widely assessed. The activity of the strains was assessed based on mechanisms associated with nutrient uptake: phosphate solubilization, ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen (N), ability to synthesize indole-3-acetic acid (IAA)-like compounds, and mechanisms linked to plant stress tolerance: ACC deaminase production, polysaccharides and biofilm development. Metabolic profiling of the strains was performed. Most strains tested in this study exhibited a range of plant growth promotion mechanisms. All strains solubilized phosphates with medium to high intensity, 14 of 15 isolates produced IAA up to 60 μg/mL, all fixed N from 15.85 to 50.00 mg/ml after 72 h. Thirteen strains survived freeze-drying. Our study enabled clustering bacterial strains with capability to perform certain groups of processes. Strains intensively fixing N in general were also able to intensively produce IAA but rather were not efficient producers of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). IAA production was negatively correlated with 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid deaminase (ACC) deaminase activity and average carbon utilization intensity. All three strains selected for the pot study (Burkholderia sp., Pseudomonas caspiana, and Phyllobacterium sp.) confirmed the effectiveness in promoting wheat growth both at optimal and low soil moisture. The study shows that 25-years reclaimed smelter wastelands are reservoirs of PGPR strains potentially useful for developing biofertilizers enhancing plant growth and resistance to environmental or climatic stresses in agriculture.
Competitiveness indicators of silky bentgrass (Apera spica-venti L.) of different susceptibility to herbicides toward winter wheat

Silky bentgrass (Apera spica-venti L.) is one of Central Europe’s most troublesome mono cotyledonous weeds of winter crops. This study aimed to analyze the competitiveness of biotypes of silky bentgrass against winter wheat, depending on the type of soil substrate and nitrogen fertilization. In this research, in a pot experiment during two seasons, the effect of bentgrass plants, of different sensitivity/resistance to herbicides, on winter wheat was studied in an additive model. It was carried out on sandy or clay soil, either non-ferti lized or fertilized with nitrogen. The competitive indices were calculated based on several wheat morphological and yield features. Multivariate analysis was incorporated to interpret the data. As a result, it was found that wheat performance was affected by bentgrass com petition. No clear effect of soil type and nitrogen fertilization on the competitiveness of A. spica-venti biotypes was demonstrated. Only in one season was the pyroxsulam-resistant biotype competitive to the winter wheat when grown on fertilized clay soil. Further re search with varied numbers of winter wheat and bentgrass is advised to assess crop-weed effects further.
