Unveiling a differential metabolite modulation of sorghum varieties under increasing tunicamycin-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress.

Plants trigger endoplasmic reticulum (ER) pathways to survive stresses, but the assistance of ER in plant tolerance still needs to be explored. Thus, we selected sensitive and tolerant contrasting abiotic stress sorghum varieties to test if they present a degree of tolerance to ER stress. Accordingly, this work evaluated crescent concentrations of tunicamycin (TM µg mL): control (0), lower (0.

Natural and Synthetic Peptides to Control Drug-resistant Pathogens.

Due to the excessive and inappropriate use of antibiotics in farming and clinic, pathogens developed resistance mechanisms to currently used drugs. Thus, because of this resistance, drugs become ineffective, leading to public health problems worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), microbial resistance to drugs is one of the most threats that humanity must face.

Metabolomic exhibits different profiles and potential biomarkers of Vitis spp. co-cultivated with Fusarium oxysporum for short, medium, and long times.

Differential rootstock tolerance to Fusarium spp. supports viticulture worldwide. However, how plants stand against the fungus still needs to be explored.

Metabolomic profiles exhibit the influence of endoplasmic reticulum stress on sorghum seedling growth over time.

Environmental stresses disturb the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein folding. However, primary metabolic responses induced by ER stress remain unclear. Thus, we investigated the morphophysiological and metabolomic changes under ER stress, induced by dithiothreitol (DTT) and tunicamycin (TM) treatments in sorghum seedlings from 24 to 96 h.
