Plant Biology, EarlyView.Benzamides boost crop resilience by inhibiting poly(ADP‐ribose) polymerase (PARP) to enhance stress tolerance and, through their antimicrobial, herbicidal, and insecticidal derivatives, they offer broad protection for sustainable crop improvement. Abstract Benzamides have emerged as potent stress inhibitors and growth promoters in plant biotechnology ...

Life without Division: Physiology of
mBio, 2016 When deprived of FtsZ, Escherichia coli cells (VIP205) grown in liquid form long nonseptated filaments due to their inability to assemble an FtsZ ring and their failure to recruit subsequent divisome components.

Size of chloroplasts in Arabidopsis mesophyll cells affects jasmonate biosynthesis
Plant Biology, EarlyView.The relationship between chloroplast structure and hormone biosynthesis capacity is poorly understood. This study shows that mutants harbouring giant chloroplasts produce more jasmonic acid upon mechanical stress than wild‐type plants, suggesting that organellar architecture is a previously unrecognized factor associated with plant hormone biosynthesis

mBio, 2018 ZipA is an essential cell division protein in Escherichia coli. Together with FtsA, ZipA tethers dynamic polymers of FtsZ to the cytoplasmic membrane, and these polymers are required to guide synthesis of the cell division septum.

Bacillus subtilis SepF binds to the C-terminus of FtsZ. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Bacterial cell division is mediated by a multi-protein machine known as the "divisome", which assembles at the site of cell division. Formation of the divisome starts with the polymerization of the tubulin-like protein FtsZ into a ring, the Z-ring.

mBio, 2013 Bacterial cell division initiates with the formation of a ring-like structure at the cell center composed of the tubulin homolog FtsZ (the Z-ring), which acts as a scaffold for the assembly of the cell division complex, the divisome.

Severe Restriction of Glucose Import Enhances Recombinant Protein Production in Escherichia coli
Biotechnology Journal, Volume 21, Issue 6, June 2026.Graphical Abstract and Lay Summary Producing recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli is often limited by the bacterium's tendency to consume glucose too rapidly. This excessive glucose uptake causes overflow metabolism, leading to the accumulation of acetate, a byproduct that can reduce cellular performance and protein production.

The keepers of the ring: regulators of FtsZ assembly [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2015 FtsZ, a GTPase distributed in the cytoplasm of most bacteria, is the major component of the machinery responsible for division (the divisome) in Escherichia coli. It interacts with additional proteins that contribute to its function forming a ring at the midcell that is essential to constrict the membrane.
