Throughout their life, bacteria need to sense and respond to environmental stress. Thus,
such stress responses can require dramatic cellular reprogramming, both at the …

The alarmones (p) ppGpp are important second messengers that orchestrate pleiotropic
adaptations of bacteria and plant chloroplasts in response to starvation and stress. Here, we …

In soil, some specific bacterial populations, called plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria are
able to promote plant growth and/or reduce the incidence of soil-borne diseases …

Plants often experience unfavorable conditions during their life cycle that impact their growth
and sometimes their survival. A temporary phase of such stress, which can result from heavy …

Plant L ys M proteins control the perception of microbial‐derived N‐acetylglucosamine
compounds for the establishment of symbiosis or activation of plant immunity. This raises …

Abstract Background Translational GTPases are a family of proteins in which GTPase
activity is stimulated by the large ribosomal subunit. Conserved sequence features allow …

It is well established that soil is a challenging environment for bacteria, where conditions
may change rapidly and bacteria have to acclimate and adapt in order to survive. Rhizobia …

To overcome the deleterious effects of acid stress, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp.
bulgaricus (L. bulgaricus) elicits an adaptive response to acid stress. In this study …

Abstract Background The Arabidopsis var2 mutant displays a unique green and white/yellow
leaf variegation phenotype and lacks VAR2, a chloroplast FtsH metalloprotease. We are …

Background Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important opportunistic human pathogen and
is extremely difficult to treat due to its high intrinsic and adaptive antibiotic resistance, ability …
