Abstract: In the past two decades emerging and re-emerging plant pathogens have caused new threats to the production of several economically important crops, one among them is P. syringae pv. actinidiae (PSA) which causes canker or leaf spot on kiwifruit plants. PSA enters plant through wounds and remains dormant in cortex tissue of the branches, and spreads in the tissue to cause severe symptoms from winter to early spring. The disease can be visualized by brown discoloration of buds, dark brown angular spots surrounded by yellow haloes on leaves, cankers with white to reddish (oxydation) exudate on twigs and trunks, fruit collapse, wilting and eventually plant mortality. Current control methods have their own significance in disease control, however there is considerable lack of clear understanding of PSA pathogenicity. Virulence of plant pathogens often relies on the synchronized/coordinated expression of pathogenicity factors via quorum sensing (QS). Therefore, investigations on QS in PSA may lead to develop novel disease control strategies and reliable methods to curb the disease. It is currently unknown whether PSA produces a QS signal molecule thus the aim of this thesis is to investigate whether PSA possesses a QS system. As genome mining did not reveal the presence of any currently known QS system, this study initially by metabolomics was aimed at identifying potentially low molecular weight secondary metabolite QS molecules produced by PSA. Azelaic acid was discovered to be produced by PSA, this is the first report of azelaic acid production by bacteria. The characterization and possible role of azelaic acid in QS is presented. Since azelaic acid is ubiquitous in nature, in addition to determining its biological role, the catabolism of azelaic acid in bacteria using the efficient degrader Pseudomonas nitroreducens DSM 9128 was also studied.

Abstract: The application of metabolomics to an ever-greater variety of sample types is a key focus of systems biology research. Recently, there has been a strong focus on applying these approaches toward the rapid analysis of metabolites found in non-invasively acquired samples, such as exhaled breath (also known as ‘breathomics’). The sampling process involved in collecting exhaled breath is nonintrusive and comparatively low-cost. It uses a series of globally approved methods and provides researchers with easy access to the metabolites secreted by the human body. Owing to its accuracy and rapid nature, metabolomic analysis of breath is a rapidly growing field that has proven effective in detecting and diagnosing the early stages of numerous diseases and infections. This review discusses the various collection and analysis methods currently applied in breathomics research. Some of the salient research completed in this field to date is also assessed and discussed in order to provide a basis for possible future scientific directions.

Abstract: The growing demand of consumers for environment-friendly and safe food products already forced many winemakers to restrict the application of synthetic fungicides to earlier season, trying to reduce the risk of residues being detected in wines. Main risk for infection by B. cinerea, however, occurs later in the season. To support an improvement in whole-season B. cinerea green care, the potential of yeasts as biocontrol agent (PBA) was studied. Selected yeasts were tested for their antifungal activities. Furthermore, a field experiment in Pinot noir and Pinot gris vineyards was designed to study different combinations of optimized canopy microclimate manipulation (CMM) techniques and PBA application. In experimental conditions, PBA's ability to maintain appropriate population density for disease prevention was observed. Grape and wine quality parameters were evaluated. Analytical approach of metabolomics was applied to upgrade the understanding of potentially induced changes in plant metabolism. Based on yeasts testing results, biocontrol yeast P. guilliermondii ZIM 624 was selected and after its field application, we were able to detect its suitable density on grapes until harvest. In case of early defoliation for both varieties smaller grape compactness was confirmed together with lower yield. Among grape basic quality parameters, optimized techniques showed positive effect on sugar content, but unexpectedly, in the treatments with biocontrol yeasts the trends toward higher acidity were noticed in Pinot gris. CMM and PBA introduction indicated some effects on grapevine biosynthetic behaviour but the differences in content of these metabolites compared to control were poorly detected in final wines with exception of mainly some flavonols, stilbenes and flavan-3-ols (and consequently total phenolic content).
