Article Synopsis
  • * A study utilized a genetic screening method to explore how I3C affects plants, identifying two specific plant lines that respond differently to I3C.
  • * Both identified lines show distinct responses linked to different kinase families, affecting their tolerance to I3C while maintaining the compound's interference with auxin signaling, suggesting alternative pathways for I3C's effects on plant development and stress responses.

ICT1 is an line that overexpresses the gene encoding the S30 ribosomal subunit, leading to tolerance to exogenous indole-3-carbinol. Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) is a protective chemical formed as a breakdown of I3M in cruciferous vegetables. The overexpression of S30 in ICT1 results in transcriptional changes that prime the plant for the I3C, or biotic insult.

Probiotic fermented foods are perceived as contributing to human health; however, solid evidence for their presumptive therapeutic systemic benefits is generally lacking. Here we report that tryptophol acetate and tyrosol acetate, small-molecule metabolites secreted by the probiotic milk-fermented yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus, inhibit hyperinflammation (e.g.

In nature, plants are exposed to several environmental stresses that can be continuous or recurring. Continuous stress can be lethal, but stress after priming can increase the tolerance of a plant to better prepare for future stresses. Reports have suggested that transcription factors are involved in stress memory after recurrent stress; however, less is known about the factors that regulate the resetting of stress memory.
