Prevention and control of highly antibiotic-resistant bacteria in a Pacific territory: Feedback from New Caledonia between 2004 and 2020.

Objective: Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) and Enterococcus faecium resistant to vancomycin (VRE) constitute major threats to public health worldwide. The Pacific area is concerned and has implemented strategies to control antimicrobial resistance (AMR). However, accurate epidemiological data are rarely reported.

Chitin perception in plasmodesmata characterizes submembrane immune-signaling specificity in plants.

The plasma membrane (PM) is composed of heterogeneous subdomains, characterized by differences in protein and lipid composition. PM receptors can be dynamically sorted into membrane domains to underpin signaling in response to extracellular stimuli. In plants, the plasmodesmal PM is a discrete microdomain that hosts specific receptors and responses.

Asparagine Synthesis During Tobacco Leaf Curing.

Senescence is a genetically controlled mechanism that modifies leaf chemistry. This involves significant changes in the accumulation of carbon- and nitrogen-containing compounds, including asparagine through the activity of asparagine synthetases. These enzymes are required for nitrogen re-assimilation and remobilization in plants; however, their mechanisms are not fully understood.

Plasmodesmal regulation during plant-pathogen interactions.

PRR2, a pseudo-response regulator, promotes salicylic acid and camalexin accumulation during plant immunity.

Calcium signalling mediated by Calmodulin (CaM) and calmodulin-like (CML) proteins is critical to plant immunity. CaM and CML regulate a wide range of target proteins and cellular responses. While many CaM-binding proteins have been identified, few have been characterized for their specific role in plant immunity.
