FULL INTERVIEW: Tuang Za Khai & CK Khai
https://youtu.be/fg__865ZNEM Tulaitak aa Israel gam ah apiang buaina lianpi ahi, (Hamas-Israel Conflict) tawh kisai Dr. Tuang Za Khai leh CK Khai holimna (Full Interview). Dr. Tuang Za Khai is interviewed by C K Khai in the Friday Talk Program, discussing the impact of the Hamas war on his research work in Israel and his current research focus. In this episode, titled “Dr Khai kok tawh Israel vai kikupna,” Dr. Tuang Za Khai shares firsthand experiences of conducting scientific research amidst conflict, highlighting the challenges faced by international researchers in Israel during periods of instability. He explains how the situation has affected daily academic life and ongoing projects at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The conversation also delves into Dr. Tuang Za Khai’s research interests, which center on plant-microbe interactions, plant-pathogen relationships, and the mechanisms of the bacterial Type III secretion system. His work aims to advance understanding of plant health and resilience, with applications in developing disease-resistant crops and improving agricultural productivity. Dr. Tuang Za Khai’s insights offer a unique perspective on balancing scientific innovation with personal and professional challenges in a complex global environment.

Preliminary analysis reveals that RCF1 confers resistance to Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 but impairs Botrytis cinerea infection
Author: Za Khai Tuang, Tial C. Ling; The adaptation process is a way of life for plants, and they must contend with biotic and abiotic stresses for their chance of survival. These stresses can lead to disastrous crop production and limited distribution of crops geographically. The use of chemicals to address those stresses in agriculture is limited, while management strategies often fail to meet the needs of the industry. Therefore, novel techniques are needed to control plant diseases and to maintain food security. RCF1 has been found to encode an RNA helicase containing DEAD-box domains and loss-of-function mutation of this gene increases the sensitivity of plants to cold stress. In this study, a single mutant generated in RCF1 was used to investigate the function of the RCF1 gene in pathogen infection stress (i.e., Pst DC3000 and B. cinerea). RFC1 was found to confer resistance to Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 (Pst DC3000) but negatively affect Botrytis cinerea (B. cinerea) infection by repressing SNI1 pathways and JA signaling while activating SA pathways and its receptor NPR1. The generated rcf1 allelic mutant (name: 407) showed sensitivities to bacteria pathogen (Pst DC3000) but tolerance to fungus infection (B. cinerea), and SNI1 was highly upregulated in it. Free and conjugated Salicylic Acid (SA) contents were much lower in the allelic mutant 407 than in complementary materials and is sensitive to Pst DC3000 infection, and NPR1 depending on SA biosynthetic genes were down-regulated in it. Our preliminary results reveal that RCF1 confers resistance to Pst DC3000 by SA and NPR1 dependence manner but blocks SNI1 and JA pathways. Read the full article by clicking here.
Traditional Knowledge of Textile Dyeing Plants: A Case Study in the Chin Ethnic Group of Western Myanmar
Authors: Tial C. Ling, Angkhana Inta, Kate E. Armstrong, Damon P. Little,Pimonrat Tiansawat,Yong-Ping Yang, Patcharin Phokasem, Za Khai Tuang, Chainarong Sinpoo, Terd Disayathanoowat; Traditional knowledge of the plants used for textile dyeing is disappearing due to the utilization of synthetic dyes. Recently, natural products made from plants have gained global interest. Thus, preserving traditional knowledge of textile dyeing plants is crucial. Here, we documented this knowledge by interviewing 2070 informants from 14 communities of the Chin ethnic group of Myanmar. The Chin communities we interviewed used a total of 32 plant species for textile dyeing from 29 genera in 24 families. Chromolaena odorata, Lithocarpus fenestratus, and L. pachyphyllus were the most important dye species. The most common responses described dyes that were red in color, produced from leaves, derived from tree species, collected from the wild, and used as firewood ash as a mordant to fix the dye to the fabrics. According to the IUCN Red List of threatened species, one species was registered as Data Deficient, 20 species still needed to be categorized, and 11 species were categorized as Least Concern. This study will help re-establish the use of natural dyes, encourage the cultural integrity of the indigenous people, and serve as an example for other communities to preserve their traditional knowledge of plant textile dyes. Textile: Material made from fibers and yarns, originally referring to woven fabrics. Now encompasses a wide range of products including knitted, tufted, and non-woven materials used in clothing, home furnishings, and industrial applications. Read the full article here.
