Plants and microorganisms coexist within complex ecosystems, significantly influencing agricultural productivity. Depending on the interaction between the plant and microbes, this interaction can either help or harm plant health. Microbes interact with plants by secreting proteins that influence plant cells, producing bioactive compounds like antibiotics or toxins, and releasing molecules such as N-acyl homoserine lactones to coordinate their behaviour.

The identification of novel bacterial species from the intestines of yaks residing on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is pivotal in advancing our understanding of host-microbiome interactions and represents a promising avenue for microbial drug discovery. In this study, we conducted a polyphasic taxonomic analysis and bioactive assays on a strain, designated Bos-x6-28, isolated from yak feces. The findings revealed that strain Bos-x6-28 shares a high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (98.

The phytohormone strigolactone (SL) regulates various developmental processes and plant adaptation to nutrient availability, which in turn regulates strigolactone biosynthesis. In the recent issue of Cell, Hu et al. advance the understanding of the interaction of the SL receptor complex and reveal exciting insights into the nitrogen-dependent regulation of SL signaling and SL-dependent tillering in rice.

Buruli ulcer (BU) a neglected disease induced by the bacterium Mycobacterium ulcerans, predominantly impacts tropical and subtropical areas with its pathophysiology ascribed to the Mycolactone protein. Current antibiotics frequently prove insufficient to manage advanced or chronic ulcers and the rise of drug resistance presents a considerable challenge. This work aims to address these challenges by employing computational methods to identify therapeutic candidates from organic compounds, which may be developed into more effective therapies for Buruli ulcer.

Heat stress poses a significant challenge to animal husbandry, contributing to oxidative stress, intestinal mucosal injury, and apoptosis, which severely impact animal health, growth, and production efficiency. The development of safe, sustainable, and naturally derived solutions to mitigate these effects is critical for advancing sustainable agricultural practices. Butyrolactone-I (BTL-I), a bioactive compound derived from deep-sea fungi (Aspergillus), shows promise as a functional feed additive to combat heat stress in animals.
