Molecular mechanisms of N-acyl homoserine lactone signals perception by plants

Lidia M. Babenko et al.

Summary: N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) are bacterial quorum sensing signal molecules involved in signal transduction between Gram-negative bacteria and plants. They synchronize gene activity in bacterial populations, affecting plant growth, development, and stress resistance. However, the mechanisms of plant perception of AHL signals are not fully understood, suggesting the existence of appropriate mechanisms for their perception.

Mechanisms, Anti-Quorum-Sensing Actions, and Clinical Trials of Medicinal Plant Bioactive Compounds against Bacteria: A Comprehensive Review

Abdelhakim Bouyahya et al.

Summary: Bacterial strains have developed resistance to antibiotics through various mechanisms. Natural bioactive compounds, such as terpenoids, flavonoids, and phenolic acids, have been identified as potential antibacterial agents. However, some bacterial strains have shown resistance to these compounds. Researchers have found that the resistance to antibiotics is linked to a microbial cell-to-cell communication system called quorum sensing. Inhibition of quorum sensing could be a promising strategy to overcome resistance and treat infections.

The Primary Physiological Roles of Autoinducer 2 in Escherichia coli Are Chemotaxis and Biofilm Formation

Sooyeon Song et al.

Summary: AI-2, a ubiquitous metabolite, has been shown to influence biofilm formation and motility in Escherichia coli, establishing it as a true signal with important physiological roles. Additionally, AI-2 signaling in E. coli is compared to indole signaling, showing opposite effects on biofilm formation and virulence.

Importance of N-Acyl-Homoserine Lactone-Based Quorum Sensing and Quorum Quenching in Pathogen Control and Plant Growth Promotion

Anton Hartmann et al.

Summary: The biological control of plant pathogens is closely related to the composition and activity of the plant microbiome, which can assist plants in optimal growth under stress conditions. Communication within the plant holobiont, particularly quorum-sensing signalling of plant-associated microbes, plays a crucial role in priming processes of pathogen defense and insect pest control. The presence of AHL-producing or -quenching bacteria and the stimulation of QS signal molecules can potentially enhance pathogen control and plant growth promotion.

A meta-analysis of projected global food demand and population at risk of hunger for the period 2010-2050

Michiel van Dijk et al.

Summary: Based on a review of 57 global food security projection and quantitative scenario studies published in the past two decades, it is projected that the total global food demand will increase by 35% to 56% by 2050, while the population at risk of hunger is expected to change by -91% to +8%. Both ranges are significantly lower than previous projections.

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using plant extracts and their antimicrobial activities: a review of recent literature

Chhangte Vanlalveni et al.

Summary: The synthesis of metal nanoparticles using plant extracts is a simple, convenient, economical, and environmentally friendly method that reduces the use of toxic chemicals. This review summarizes the new findings in the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using different plant extracts and discusses the potential influence of phytochemicals, extraction conditions, and reaction parameters on the properties and antimicrobial activities of the produced AgNPs. Additionally, the mechanism of interaction between AgNPs and microbial cell walls leading to cell death, as well as the enhanced antimicrobial activities achieved through synergistic interaction with commercial antibiotics, are comprehensively detailed.
