    Abstract: Naive T cells must shift from a state of quiescence to an active metabolic state. To do this, T cells must ramp up their production of ribosomes. In this issue, Zhou et al. (2023. J. Cell Biol.https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202201096) identify DDB1 and Cul4- ...

    Abstract Naive T cells must shift from a state of quiescence to an active metabolic state. To do this, T cells must ramp up their production of ribosomes. In this issue, Zhou et al. (2023. J. Cell Biol.https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202201096) identify DDB1 and Cul4-associated factor 13 (DCAF13) as a T cell activation-induced nucleolar protein that functions to enhance ribosome biosynthesis. DCAF13 binds to nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) to form a biomolecular condensate that functions, in part, by recruiting the endonuclease UTP23 into the nucleolus.

    Abstract Plants have inherent capabilities to modulate their resistance against both biotic and abiotic stresses. Plant-microorganism interactions in the rhizosphere play vital role in such responses. The interactions of non-pathogenic or beneficial bacteria such as plant beneficial microbial strains with plants in the soil are governed mostly by Plant growth regulators such as salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA), and ethylene (ET), which are involved in the regulation of basal resistance against various pathogens. Plant growth regulators are well known to induce systemic resistance (ISR), similar to the pathogen-activated systemic acquired resistance (SAR) that provides basal resistance to plants against pathogens as well as herbivores. ISR response mediated through JA/ET is independent of the SA-mediated response of SAR. Different components of plant beneficial microbial strains involved in induced systemic resistance have been identified and characterized recently using different plant-pathogen model systems. Here, we provide an update on ISR and the role of non-expressor of pathogenesis-related gene 1 (NPR1) and other elicitors of bacterial origin in their interaction with plants, with an emphasis on the underlying factors involved in systemic resistance.

    Abstract Microgreens are a class of superfoods that is made up of young vegetable leafy greens. These are petite, with a delicate texture consisting of one or two pairs of cotyledonous leaves and a short stem of a few centimetres, and are noted for their distinct flavours and visual culinary components. These magnificent greens are high in nutritional value since they contain more health-promoting elements than mature counterparts such as leaves, vegetables, or any other edible portions. Chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and Type 2 diabetes mellitus are all on the rise in India, according to epidemiological studies. Chronic diseases can be significantly reduced by eating vegetables; unfortunately, the average daily vegetable intake is persistently lower than recommended (up to 4 and 3 cups of vegetables per day). Microgreens can be recommended as a fantastic replacement and terrific alternative to mature vegetables in tiny amounts, delivering a concentrated dose of micronutrients and vital phytocompounds. This article focuses on microgreens' nutritional and biochemical makeup, growth-related variables, and health advantages that may assist India and other developing countries to eliminate or significantly reduce the threat of chronic diseases. It can be a great prospect for commercializing microgreens and also growing them in our homestead for health benefits. Current research suggests that these microgreens could be a promising super food for lowering chronic disease risk and hence improving human health.

    Abstract Monkeypox virus infection is characterized by a prodromal illness with fever, intense headache, lymphadenopathy, back pain, myalgias, and asthenia, followed by the eruption of skin lesions. A case series has reported monkeypox virus infection with primary anogenital and facial cellulitis. In addition, superimposed bacterial infections have been reported in several case reports. We present a monkeypox virus infection case of a patient presenting with jaw swelling initially thought to be secondary to cellulitis/abscess collection. A 25-year-old homosexual male on HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis presented to an urgent care center with a painful, ruptured, crusted chin lesion. Given recent contact with monkeypox virus-infected patients, a monkeypox swab was collected. He then developed a fever, jaw/neck swelling, and difficulty swallowing, which prompted him to come to our emergency department. He was febrile and tachycardic on presentation. The labs were unremarkable. A CT scan of the neck showed soft tissue thickening within the submental and submandibular regions bilaterally, consistent with cellulitis without evidence of abscess formation. It also showed prominent bilateral submandibular and left station IIA lymphadenopathy. We started the patient on intravenous ampicillin-sulbactam, but his swelling worsened. We suspected abscess formation clinically; however, a percutaneous drainage attempt yielded a dry tap. We added vancomycin for extra coverage, but the patient remained febrile, and his swelling continued to worsen. In the meantime, his monkeypox virus polymerase chain reaction (PCR) swab result returned positive, and he developed other skin lesions. These two findings and the lack of improvement with antibiotic therapy led us to believe that his fever was secondary to monkeypox and the swelling was secondary to reactive lymphadenopathy over true cellulitis. We stopped his antibiotics, and his symptoms improved with a complete resolution of the jaw swelling. This case was challenging to manage as the patient's swelling was initially thought to be secondary to cellulitis and abscess collection, but it turned out to be secondary to lymphadenopathy. This case illustrates the significance and severity of lymphadenopathy in monkeypox virus infection, which can be initially misdiagnosed as cellulitis.

    Abstract Tomato in India is commonly exposed to various diseases of fungal, bacterial, and viral origin, resulting in substantial yield losses (≥50%). Buckeye rot (caused by Phytophthora nicotianae var. parasitica) is among the major constraints in the successful cultivation of tomato crops in various parts of the world, including the Solan district of Himachal Pradesh state, India. The fruit rot becomes more devastating under high humidity and wet soils. Symptoms generally appear on green fruit as alternate dark- and light-brown concentric rings. The genome size of P. nicotianae var. parasitica is 82 Mb with >23,000 predicted genes. High humidity (>60%) and optimal temperatures (20 to 25°C), along with rainfall (≥10 mm), help to disperse the pathogen because the inoculum reaches the fruit through splashing rain. Sporangia germinate indirectly by producing zoospores at 20 to 25°C or directly via germ tubes at >25°C. In the absence of suitable resistant varieties, no single management practice is sufficient to keep the disease below the economic threshold level; therefore, integration of cultural and chemical methods is preferable. This article aims to focus on the etiology and management challenges of buckeye rot. We recommend innovative disease management strategies such as identification and deployment of resistant cultivars as well as spraying of synthetic chemical fungicides, biocontrol agents, and use of abiotic chemicals that induce resistance for developing sustainable crop production practices.
