Natural Elicitor 3,4-Dihydroxy-3-Methyl-2-Pentanone Induces Disease Resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana via Stereoisomer-Specific Activation of Defence Pathways [PDF]

Plants
In contrast to bactericides, elicitors induce plant immune systems to defend against pathogen attack and avoid potential damage to the environment. However, the energy cost caused by the continuous activation of immunity leads to the inhibition of plant ...

Bacterial Biological Factories Intended for the Desulfurization of Petroleum Products in Refineries

Fermentation, 2023
The removal of sulfur by deep hydrodesulfurization is expensive and environmentally unfriendly. Additionally, sulfur is not separated completely from heterocyclic poly-aromatic compounds. In nature, several microorganisms (Rhodococcus erythropolis IGTS8,

Aconitase causes iron toxicity in Drosophila pink1 mutants. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2013
The PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) is a mitochondrial kinase, and pink1 mutations cause early onset Parkinson's disease (PD) in humans. Loss of pink1 in Drosophila leads to defects in mitochondrial function, and genetic data suggest that another PD ...

Assembly and Transfer of Iron–Sulfur Clusters in the Plastid

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Iron-Sulfur (Fe-S) clusters and proteins are essential to many growth and developmental processes. In plants, they exist in the plastids, mitochondria, cytosol, and nucleus.
