Extracellular perception of auxin, an essential phytohormone in plants, has been debated for decades. Auxin-binding protein 1 (ABP1) physically interacts with quintessential transmembrane kinases (TMKs) and was proposed to act as an extracellular auxin receptor, but its role was disputed because abp1 knockout mutants lack obvious morphological phenotypes. Here, we identified two new auxin-binding proteins, ABL1 and ABL2, that are localized to the apoplast and directly interact with the extracellular domain of TMKs in an auxin-dependent manner. Furthermore, functionally redundant ABL1 and ABL2 genetically interact with TMKs and exhibit functions that overlap with those of ABP1 as well as being independent of ABP1. Importantly, the extracellular domain of TMK1 itself binds auxin and synergizes with either ABP1 or ABL1 in auxin binding. Thus, our findings discovered auxin receptors ABL1 and ABL2 having functions overlapping with but distinct from ABP1 and acting together with TMKs as co-receptors for extracellular auxin.

Aim: Bacillus subtilis is usually found in soil, and their biocontrol and plant growth promoting capabilities are being explored more recently than ever. However, knowledge about metabolite production and genome composition of endophytic Bacillus subtilis from seeds is limited. In the present study, Bacillus subtilis EVCu15 strain isolated from the seeds of Vasconcellea cundinamarcensis (mountain papaya) was subjected to whole genome sequencing, and detailed molecular and functional characterization.

Article Synopsis
- The study utilized a novel experimental design to identify key biological pathways affected by nitrogen deficiency in an evergreen tree crop, highlighting processes like lignin biosynthesis and defense responses.
- The research found significant upregulation of the MAPK pathway and ATP-binding cassette transporters, with a greater focus on calcium signaling over hormone signaling, particularly involving auxin and abscisic acid.
- A total of 45 transcription factors were increased under nitrogen deficiency, indicating a shared regulatory role in both nitrogen and pathogen responses, especially in relation to flavanoids and cell wall integrity.

Aim: Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a relentlessly progressive disorder characterized by high mortality and limited effective therapeutic options. Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), originally recognized as a plant hormone, is also identified as a tryptophan-derived metabolite catabolized from microbiota in mammals. IAA has exhibited antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor effects in various disorders, yet its role in PF remains elusive.

The insular cortex (IC) is a brain region that both receives relevant sensory information and is responsible for emotional and cognitive processes, allowing the perception of sensory information. The IC has connections with multiple sites of the pain matrix, including cortico-cortical interactions with the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and top-down connections with sites of descending pain inhibition. We explored the changes in the extracellular release of serotonin (5HT) and its major metabolite, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5HIAA), after inflammation was induced by carrageenan injection.

Background: Reciprocal exchanges of metabolites between phytoplankton and bacteria influence the fitness of these microorganisms which ultimately shapes the productivity of marine ecosystems. Recent evidence suggests that plant growth-promoting hormones may be key metabolites within mutualistic phytoplankton-bacteria partnerships, but very little is known about the diversity of plant growth-promoting hormones produced by marine bacteria and their specific effects on phytoplankton growth. Here, we aimed to investigate the capacity of marine bacteria to produce 7 plant growth-promoting hormones and the effects of these hormones on Actinocyclus sp.
