[0061] Example 1 - Preparation of plant or food preservatives using the peptides described

[0067] Figure 1 Visual results are shown for experiments involving the application of 100 μM preservative peptide (SEQ ID NO:3) or water (control) to fresh strawberries, all from the same batch and commercial product packaging. Results for each group of 10 strawberries under each condition (experiment and control) at 0, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 h are shown in A, B, C, D, E, and F, respectively.

[0068] exist Figure 1 In samples D) and E), the presence of fungi with white hyphae can be observed, which are undetectable in treated strawberries. Although these contaminants have not yet been characterized, their appearance is consistent with Rhizopus stolonifer or Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.

[0069] Figure 2 The graph shows the time (horizontal axis) and percentage of spoiled fruit (vertical axis) in hours after applying 100 μM preservative peptide (SEQ ID NO:3) or water to fresh strawberries.

[0070] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The results clearly demonstrate the great potential of additives applied in aqueous solutions for fruit preservation.

[0072] Example 3 - Test of additives containing the peptide in preventing strawberries from rotting

[0073] A new experiment was conducted using strawberries, and the test and control groups were now stored at 4°C (in a refrigerator) to observe the preservation under conditions unfavorable to microbial growth.

[0074] Figure 3 Visual results of experiments involving the application of the additive of the present invention are shown, wherein eight fresh strawberries in each group were treated with a 100 μM aqueous solution of the preservative peptide (SEQ ID: 3), or with water as a control only. All strawberries were from the same batch and commercial product packaging. Representative results of strawberries under each condition (experimental and control) at 0 h, 24 h, 48 h, and 5 days are shown in A, B, C, and D, respectively.

[0075] exist Figure 3 In D), the presence of severe rot in the untreated strawberry group was very evident, to the point that it could not be detected even in the strawberry group treated with the additive of the present invention after 5 days. This rot was significantly different from the microbial contamination observed in the experiment of Example 2.

[0078] To evaluate the effects of the additive of the present invention on regulating cell division or proliferation in plants (particularly in regulating seed germination and / or plant development), an experiment was conducted to observe the germination and subsequent seedling development of legume seeds. Each group of 14 black bean seeds was placed in moist cotton and subjected to one condition: a control group treated with water; and an experimental group treated with the additive of the present invention as described below. Seed status was observed and recorded at 0, 3, and 4 days, and the germination patterns and profiles of the legumes were analyzed.

[0079] Figure 4 Visual results are shown of experiments involving the application of a single dose of 100 μM (aqueous solution) of the preservative peptide (Ktut SEQ ID:3) or water (control) to legume seeds. All seeds were from the same batch and packaged in the same commercial product and stored at room temperature (28°C). Germination results of 14 seeds per group in each condition (control and experimental) at 0, 3, and 4 days are shown in A, B, and C, respectively. The images illustrate the differences in germination patterns among the legumes.

[0080] Figure 5 As shown Figure 4As shown, the time in days (horizontal axis) and the number of germinated legume seeds (vertical axis) after application of 100 μM preservative peptide (Ktut, SEQ ID NO:3) are displayed.

[0081] The results demonstrated a substantial regulation of the metabolic state of buds or seedlings upon application of the additive, as well as a delay in the seed germination process. Therefore, the present invention has proven useful for regulating germination, adjusting planting or germination time, and other agronomical or botanical advantages.

[0082] Similar results were obtained by administering the peptide of SEQ ID NO:15, which contains the peptide of SEQ ID NO:9 and the peptide of SEQ ID NO:2.

[0083] Example 5 - Experiment on the preservation of post-harvest flowers using additives containing preservative peptides

[0084] The surprising results obtained in the foregoing embodiments prompted the inventors to evaluate whether the additive of the present invention could also preserve flowers after harvest. Flowers and inflorescences are known to be particularly sensitive and prone to rapid wilting or decay, which leads to technical and economic difficulties in utilizing these plant parts. Particular emphasis is placed on the market for ornamental flowers, and especially on the market for herbs or pharmaceuticals that use flowers or inflorescences as raw materials. In these fields, there is a particular need for a method to maintain the quality and / or integrity of harvested flowers or inflorescences so as to suffer less negative impact during subsequent logistics or industrial processing.

[0085] In this context, as an experimental model for evaluating the preservation of flowers or inflorescences, two different types of flowers and their decomposition / preservation were evaluated by incubating them in water or with the preservative additive solution of the present invention (with the flowers placed at room temperature for several days).

[0086] The selected flowers are roses (Rosa-rubra) and gerberas (Gerbera). Roses are among the most cultivated ornamental flowers in the world. Gerbera species are used as experimental organisms in studies of flowering and floral meristem development, and because they contain natural coumarin derivatives, they are flowers with phytochemical and biocontrol value.

[0087] In this embodiment, the peptide of SEQ ID NO:15 is used, which comprises the peptide of SEQ ID NO:9 and the peptide of SEQ ID NO:2.

[0088] Figure 6Visual results are shown of experiments involving the application of a single dose of a 100 μM (aqueous solution) preservative peptide (SEQ ID NO: 15) or water (control group) to two types of flowers. All flowers were from the same batch and acquired on the same day, and stored at room temperature (28°C). Four flowers were used in each container, with the stems kept submerged in the liquid for at least 5 cm throughout the experiment. Aluminum foil was used around the containers containing the submerged stems to prevent light exposure. Photographic results of the flowers preserved under each condition (control and experimental) at 0, 3, and 6 days are shown. Images of roses at 0, 3, and 6 days are shown in A), C), and E), with the rose on the left preserved in H2O and the rose on the right preserved in the preservative peptide. Images of gerberas at 0, 3, and 6 days are shown in B), D), and F), with the gerberas on the left preserved in H2O and the gerberas on the right preserved in the aforementioned preservative peptide. The images clearly show a significant difference in the preservation patterns of the flowers preserved in the preservatives.

[0089] Figure 6 The results demonstrate the effective preservation of these two different flower species and provide proof of concept for the use of the additives of the present invention in ornamental flowers and inflorescences and in flowers and inflorescences with phytochemical value, such as gerberas, industrial hemp and other plant species.
