Summary: This literature review identifies major environmental indicators and their optimum variation ranges for the prevalence of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in the marine environment. The study shows that the prevalence of Vibrio parahaemolyticus is primarily influenced by Sea Surface Temperature (SST), salinity, pH, chlorophyll a, and turbidity, in descending order of importance. Each environmental indicator has an optimum range that favors the presence of Vibrio parahaemolyticus.

Summary: Screening significant differential metabolites during infection of Apostichopus japonicus (A. japonicus) by pathogens can improve immune ability and guide healthy culture. The arachidonic acid (ARA) metabolism pathway was found to play an important role in the immune stress of A. japonicus. Exogenous ARA consumption significantly increased immune-related enzyme activity and survival rate in A. japonicus.

Summary: This study identified a novel LuxR family regulator, RobA, in Vibrio parahaemolyticus, which influences bacterial growth and biofilm formation, and integrates into the quorum sensing circuit. RobA was found to regulate the expression of exopolysaccharides synthesis cluster and interact with other regulators to construct a complex regulatory network of biofilm formation.

Summary: In this study, the role of regulatory factors TfoX, CytR, OpaR, and RpoS during natural transformation of V. parahaemolyticus was evaluated. TfoX was found to regulate natural competence via CytR in a chitin-dependent manner, while OpaR affected natural transformation through its regulation of extracellular nuclease Dns. RpoS was not required for the regulation of natural competence in V. parahaemolyticus.

Summary: Global warming is increasing the geographical range and frequency of Vibrio parahaemolyticus infections, threatening the seafood industry as biofilm formation provides bacteria greater resistance to stress. This study reviews recent advances in understanding V. parahaemolyticus biofilm formation, discusses research gaps in the mechanism of biofilm formation, and examines promising biofilm control strategies to overcome current limitations.

Summary: Alternative RNA splicing increases transcript diversity and is regulated by RNA splicing regulators (RSRs), primarily involved in neurogenesis. Nine families of RSRs play essential roles in neural development, providing novel insights into the role of splicing in brain development and health.

Summary: Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a common foodborne pathogen primarily found in seafood, but recent research has discovered its presence in freshwater crayfish as well. The strain isolated from freshwater crayfish showed higher pathogenicity and lacked known virulence marker genes compared to clinical strains. This strain also displayed multidrug resistance. The study highlights the potential transmission of hypervirulent V. parahaemolyticus through freshwater food products and suggests the use of a phage cocktail as a promising method for control.

Summary: The study demonstrated a synergistic antibacterial effect between Lysqdvp001 and ε-PL against V. parahaemolyticus, leading to reduced bacterial cell density and induced cell damage. Applying the antimicrobial combination in various food samples resulted in significant reductions of V. parahaemolyticus and removal of biofilms.

Summary: Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a pathogenic bacterium that causes diseases in aquatic organisms. Its biofilm protects it from antibiotics, necessitating the development of alternative methods for controlling V. parahaemolyticus to ensure food safety. Phage therapy has been identified as a potential strategy for controlling biofilms. In this study, a lytic Vibrio phage named vB_VpaP_FE11 was isolated from the sewage of Guangzhou Huangsha Aquatic Market. The phage exhibited typical podovirus morphology and proved to be stable within a temperature range of 20-50°C and a pH range of 5-10°C. The phage was completely inactivated after 20 minutes of ultraviolet irradiation and possessed a short latent period and a high burst size. Furthermore, the phage was capable of preventing and destroying biofilms, making it a promising biocontrol agent against V. parahaemolyticus and its biofilm.

Summary: The regulation of gene expression is crucial for plant phenotype and adaptation. In this study, transcriptome sequencing was used to identify exonic variants and quantify gene expression in 287 rice accessions. Genome-wide association study identified numerous expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs), both local and distant hotspots. A transcriptome-wide association study further screened candidate genes for starch content regulation. The key regulator bHLH026 was found to enhance diterpenoid antitoxin synthesis and disease resistance in rice. These findings contribute to a better understanding of gene expression regulation and complex regulatory networks in the rice genome.

Summary: The transcription factor genes ZmMYC2a and ZmMYC2b play important roles in the maize response to simulated herbivory and JA signaling. This study shows that ZmMYC2a and ZmMYC2b directly bind to the promoters of benzoxazinoid and volatile terpene biosynthesis genes, facilitating their transcription and activation. These findings reveal the transcriptional regulatory mechanisms of JA signaling and ZmMYC2s in maize, providing insights into the defense response of maize to herbivory.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of disulfide bond formation on the retargeting potential and transduction efficiency of adenoviruses containing CNGRCVSGCAGRC peptide inserted into fiber or hexon protein. The results showed that NGR-containing peptides' insertion site and flanking residues are critical for receptor binding affinity/specificity and transduction efficiency. AdFNGR and AdHNGR exhibited enhanced transduction efficiency and attachment to specific cells, mainly relying on the expression of alpha v beta 3 integrin.
