The Genetics and Biotechnology Conference (JGB) of the University of Tras-os-Montes and Alto Douro (UTAD) is an annual scientific event organized jointly by the Nucleus of Students of Genetics and Biotechnology (ADNGB) of UTAD and the Direction of the Course of Genetics and Biotechnology in collaboration with the teaching staff of the Department of Genetics and Biotechnology (DGB). As a result of the scientificpedagogical partnership established between professors of DGB (UTAD) and of Faculty of Biological and Environmental Sciences of the University of León (UL), Spain, it was considered important to repeat the shared organization of this event between professors and students of the UTAD and UL designating it as XII Genetics and Biotechnology Conference / II Genetics and Biotechnology Iberian Conference (XII JGB / II JIGB). The main objective of the XII JGB /II JIGB is to update knowledge in the area of Genetics and Biotechnology. To this end, the focus of this event is the conferences given by renowned national and international scientists and the thematic workshops that will constitute more practical sessions. The XII JGB /II JIGB will also focus on interaction, exchange of experiences and scientific debates between Portuguese and Spanish students and professors. The best oral and posters presentations will be awarded. The target audience is Portuguese and Spanish students, researchers and university professors from the scientific areas of Biological Sciences and Biotechnology as well as High School teachers from the Biology area. A wide variety of topics will be discussed, in the different areas of Genetics and Biotechnology, such as Plant, Animal, Human, Microbial, Evolutionary, Cancer, Forensic, Ethics, Entrepreneurship, among others.
The demand for natural-based products for industrial applications is increasing sharply and therefore the search for new alternatives to the plants traditionally used is growing. These alternative plants can be an important source of bioactive compounds under a circular economy approach. Considering the potential future use of new plant extracts by the industry, it is necessary to assess the risk associated with their introduction into the ecosystem. This work aims to provide an insight into the volatile profiles and evaluate the potential (eco)toxic effects of essential oils (EO’s) and hydrolates of four plant species, namely rockrose ( Cistus ladanifer ), curry plant ( Helichrysum italicum ), conehead thyme ( Thymbra capitata ) and basil ( Ocimum basilicum ). Chemical analysis was performed by GC-MS and acute toxicity tests were performed using the model organism Daphnia magna . The essential oil and the hydrolate from H. italicum , as well as all the other hydrolates caused no immobilization up to the highest concentrations tested, suggesting that all hydrolates present low to no risk towards D. magna. Similarly, the essential oil of H. italicum , presented negligible risk towards D. magna . For C. ladanifer and T. capitata essential oils, the EC 50 (the concentration estimated to immobilize 50 per cent of the Daphnia ) at 48h varied from 199.7 mg/L and 12.05 mg/L, respectively. The essential oil from C. ladanifer was mainly characterised by monoterpene hydrocarbons, while the H. italicum was richer in sesquiterpene hydrocarbons. Both essential oil and hydrolate from T. capitata contained exclusively monoterpene hydrocarbons with a particularly high content of carvacrol. The higher acute toxicity of T. capitata essential oil can be attributed to the high amount of carvacrol present in the distillate. Overall, of the essential oils and hydrolates tested, all can be classified as practically non-toxic, except for T. capitata essential oil that, according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations, can be classified as moderately toxic
