Triple interactions for induced systemic resistance in plants.

Induced systemic resistance (ISR) is a crucial concept in modern agriculture, explaining plant defense mechanisms primed by rhizosphere stimuli and activated by subsequent infections. Biological factors contributing to ISR generally include plant growth-promoting microbes3 (PGPM). spp.

The Coupling of Synthesis and Electrochemistry to Enable the Reversible Storage of Hydrogen as Metal Hydrides.

Given its high gravimetric energy density and status as a clean fuel when derived from renewables, hydrogen (H) is considered a premier candidate for energy storage; however, its low volumetric density limits its broader application. Chemical storage through the reversible incorporation of H into chemical bonds offers a promising solution to its low volumetric density, circumventing subpar energy densities and substantial infrastructure investments associated with physical storage methods. Metal hydrides are promising candidates for chemical storage because of their high gravimetric capacity and tunability through nanostructuring and alloying.

Impact of Western Diet on Enterohemorrhagic Colonization in the Human Mucosal Artificial Colon as Mediated by Gut Microbiota.

Enterohemorrhagic (EHEC) is a major food-borne pathogen that causes human disease ranging from diarrhea to life-threatening complications. Accumulating evidence demonstrates that the Western diet enhances the susceptibility to enteric infection in mice, but the effect of diet on EHEC colonization and the role of human gut microbiota remains unknown. Our research aimed to investigate the effects of a Standard versus a Western diet on EHEC colonization in the human Mucosal ARtificial COLon (M-ARCOL) and the associated changes in the gut microbiota composition and activities.

Actinomycetota, a central constituent microbe during long-term exposure to diazinon, an organophosphorus insecticide.

Microbial biodegradation is a primary pesticide remediation pathway. Despite diazinon is one of the most frequently used organophosphate insecticides worldwide, its effect on soil microbial community remains obscure. We hypothesize that diazinon exposure reshapes microbial community, among them increased microbes may play a crucial role in diazinon degradation.
