Root apoplastic barrier mechanism: an adaptive strategy to protect against salt stress.

From soil to plant, the water and ions, enter the root system through the symplast and apoplast pathways. The latter gains significance under salt stress and becomes a major port of entry of the dissolved salts particularly the sodium ions into the root vasculature. The casparian strip (CS), a lignified barrier circumambulating the root endodermal cells' radial and transverse walls regulates the movement of water and solutes in and out of the stele.

The Role of Noncoding RNAs in the Prognosis and Diagnosis of Colorectal Cancer: An Emerging Biomarker.

Colorectal cancer has become the leading cause of death worldwide, and it is the second most common cancer in women and the third most common cancer in men. Accumulating evidence suggests that genetic and epigenetic factors play a key role in the development of colorectal cancer. Cancer Stem Cells (CSC) play an important role in the suppression or development of cancer in various conditions.

Repurposing Plant-Based Histone Acetyltransferase Inhibitors: A Review of Novel Therapeutic Strategies Against Drug-Resistant Fungal Biofilms.

The rapid emergence of drug-resistant fungal strains necessitates the development of novel therapeutic approaches for battling biofilm-related infections. Biofilms, efflux pumps, and suppression of virulence traits in pathogenic yeasts are governed by epigenetic enzymes, namely, histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs). The review article is focused on the use of histone acetyltransferase inhibitors (HATi), a mechanism-based epidrug that inactivates the regular function of HATs.

Dipeptides from Lactiplantibacillus plantarum limit Pseudomonas aeruginosa pathogenesis.

Aims: Lactobacilli have drawn a great deal of attention due to the heterogeneity of their cells, as well as their remarkable ability to adapt to a range of harsh conditions. One such adaptation response by Lactiplantibacillus plantarum was forming a V-shaped cell structure in low acidic pH conditions. This study aims to identify low pH induced-biofilm formation in L.
