The influence of the interaction(s) between the medicinal plant  Echinacea purpurea  (L.) Moench and its endophytic communities on the production of alkamides is investigated. To mimic the  in vivo  conditions, we have set up an infection model of axenic  in vitro E. purpurea  plants inoculated with a pool of bacterial strains isolated from the  E. purpurea  stems and leaves. Here we show different alkamide levels between control (not-inoculated) and inoculated plants, suggesting that the alkamide biosynthesis may be modulated by the bacterial infection. Then, we have analysed the branched-chain amino acids (BCCA) decarboxylase gene (GenBank Accession #LT593930; the enzymatic source for the amine moiety formation of the alkamides) expression patterns. The expression profile shows a higher expression level in the inoculated  E. purpurea  tissues than in the control ones. These results suggest that the plant-endophyte interaction can influence plant secondary metabolism affecting the therapeutic properties of  E. purpurea .
