Plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria can improve plant growth, development, and stress adaptation. However, the underlying mechanisms are still largely unclear. We investigated effects of Bacillus megaterium BOFC15 on Arabidopsis plants. produced secreted spermidine (Spd), a type polyamine (PA) that plays an important role in growth. Moreover, induced changes cellular PAs plants promoted increase free Spd spermine levels. these were remarkably abolished by addition dicyclohexylamine (DCHA),...

Magnaporthe oryzae is a devastating plant pathogen, which has detrimental impact on rice production worldwide. Despite its agronomical importance, some newly-emerging pathotypes often overcome race-specific disease resistance rapidly. It thus desirable to develop novel strategy for the long-lasting of plants ever-changing fungal pathogens. Brome mosaic virus (BMV)-induced RNA interference (RNAi) emerged as useful tool study host-resistance genes blast protection. Planta-generated silencing...

Oral cancer remains a major public concern with considerable socioeconomic impact in the world, especially southeast Asia. Despite substantial advancements have been made treating oral cancer, five-year survival rate for OSCC remained undesirable, and 35–55% patients developed recurrence within two years even multimodality therapeutic strategies. Hence, identification of novel biomarkers diagnosis evaluating clinical outcome is vital importance. MicroRNAs are 22–24 nt non-coding RNAs that...
