Background: Bacillus species produce antimicrobial lipopeptides (LPs) and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) induces resistance in harvested fruits against postharvest pathogens. However, there is limited evidence of the combined efficacy of Bacillus LPs and MeJA to suppress postharvest diseases.
Results: This study presents the combined effect of Bacillus LPs and MeJA to suppress P.
Application of melatonin and lipopeptides (LPs) derived from Bacillus strains is considered an efficient strategy to control plant diseases at both pre and postharvest stages. However, the combined application of melatonin and LPs has not been studied yet. Therefore, the present study presents the synergistic effect of melatonin and LPs produced by Bacillus atrophaeus strain MCM61 against gray mold disease and its impact on quality parameters and vase life of cut roses.

- Vasculitides cause inflammation of blood vessel walls and mesenteric vasculitis (MV) specifically affects the blood vessels in the gastrointestinal tract, often linked to systemic inflammation but can also occur alone.
- Common symptoms of MV include nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and rectal bleeding, which complicate diagnosis and can lead to serious health risks if missed.
- The review highlights the need for timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment to avoid unnecessary surgeries, while also pointing out challenges in distinguishing MV from similar gastrointestinal conditions and the lack of clear diagnostic criteria in existing literature.
Hypoxia stress: plant's sensing, responses, and tolerance mechanisms.

Oxygen (O) is an inhibiting factor for plant growth and development in submerged and flooding environments. Plants experience different O concentrations, such as normoxia, hypoxia, and anoxia, which can change over space and time. Plants have evolved various morphological, physiological, and biochemical adaptations to withstand low O stress, many of which have been well investigated.

This successful utilization of CAR-T therapy has attracted interest in its application in refractory rheumatological diseases. Here, we will review the use of CAR-T therapy in rheumatological diseases.
