Actinobacteria-Plant Interactions in Alleviating Abiotic Stress.

Abiotic stressors, such as drought, flooding, extreme temperature, soil salinity, and metal toxicity, are the most important factors limiting crop productivity. Plants use their innate biological systems to overcome these abiotic stresses caused by environmental and edaphic conditions. Microorganisms that live in and around plant systems have incredible metabolic abilities in mitigating abiotic stress.

Dynamic Alteration of Microbial Communities of Duckweeds from Nature to Nutrient-Deficient Condition.

Duckweeds live with complex assemblages of microbes as holobionts that play an important role in duckweed growth and phytoremediation ability. In this study, the structure and diversity of duckweed-associated bacteria (DAB) among four duckweed subtypes under natural and nutrient-deficient conditions were investigated using V3-V4 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. High throughput sequencing analysis indicated that phylum Proteobacteria was predominant in across duckweed samples.

Study of CALR, MPL, and c-kit Gene Mutations in Thai Patients with JAK2 V617F Negative Myeloproliferative Neoplasms.

Objective: The aim of this study to determine the prevalence of CALR, MPL and c-kit gene mutations in JAK2 V617F negative-MPN patients.

Methods: The retrospective study of CALR, MPL and c-kit mutations were analyzed in 113 samples collected from March 2010 to May 2017 and identified as JAK2 V617F-negative MPN Thai patients. The samples were analysis by gel electrophoresis and direct sequencing.

Genetic Aberration Analysis in Thai Colorectal Adenoma and Early-Stage Adenocarcinoma Patients by Whole-Exome Sequencing.

Colorectal adenomas are precursor lesions of colorectal adenocarcinoma. The transition from adenoma to carcinoma in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) has been associated with an accumulation of genetic aberrations. However, criteria that can screen adenoma progression to adenocarcinoma are still lacking.

Actinoallomurus acaciae sp. nov., an endophytic actinomycete isolated from Acacia auriculiformis A. Cunn. ex Benth.

A novel endophytic actinomycete, strain GMKU 931(T), was isolated from the root of a wattle tree, Acacia auriculiformis A. Cunn. ex Benth.
