Caspase-independent cell death (CICD) has recently become a very important mechanism in lung cancer, in particular, to overcome a critical failure in apoptotic cell death that is common to disease progression and treatment failures. The pathways involved in CICD span from necroptosis, ferroptosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, and autophagy-mediated cell death. Its potential therapeutic applications have been recently highlighted...

Summary Plant growth promotion by microbes is a cumulative phenomenon involving multiple traits, many of which are not explored yet. Hence, to unravel microbial mechanisms underlying growth promotion, we have analysed the genomes of two potential growth‐promoting microbes, viz., Pseudomonas sp. CK‐NBRI‐02 (P2) and Bacillus marisflavi CK‐NBRI‐03 (P3) for the presence of plant‐beneficial traits. Besides known traits, we found th...
