Summary: Global warming poses a threat to aquatic systems and organisms. This study compares the physiological, metabolic, and transcriptional responses of northern and southern populations of Pacific abalone to long-term temperature acclimation to understand their vulnerability and acclimation potential. The tolerant southern population exhibited a greater capacity for metabolic regulation and energy redistribution, while the vulnerable northern population could enhance its thermal tolerance through natural selection. This study provides insights into the acclimation potential of abalone to heat stress and reveals the molecular and metabolic traits underlying this phenomenon.

Summary: Mitochondrial respiration is central to plant physiology and responds dynamically to daily temperature changes, but is more susceptible to short-term heatwaves. As leaf temperature rises, catalysis increases driving faster metabolism, despite declines in photosynthesis, leading to protein denaturation and inactivation of respiratory enzymes. Under extreme heat, membranes become overly fluid and enzymes are impaired, ultimately leading to the breakdown of leaf respiration and limiting leaf survival.

Summary: This study evaluated the thermal resistance of Acipenser baerii and its hybrids under chronic heat stress. The results showed that the hybrids exhibited higher survival rates and lower gill damage compared to A. baerii. Additionally, A. baerii was found to be more susceptible to heat stress, as indicated by increased levels of various stress markers in the early stages of exposure. These findings contribute to understanding the coping mechanisms of cold-water fishes to chronic heat stress.

Summary: UV-B radiation has dual effects on plants, acting as a developmental cue or a stress factor depending on dosage. The B-BOX transcription factor BBX11 plays a crucial role in the molecular response to UV-B, regulating hypocotyl growth and protecting plants from high UV-B radiation by promoting the accumulation of photo-protective compounds and inducing DNA repair genes. BBX11 and the transcription factor HY5 mutually regulate each other, contributing to UV-B-mediated photomorphogenesis and stress tolerance.

Summary: Plants need to adapt to changing temperature conditions in their environment to survive and thrive. Various protein kinases are involved in plant responses to cold acclimation and heat stress, but their roles in mild temperature changes remain poorly understood. Understanding plant temperature responses is crucial for developing thermotolerant crops.

Summary: Exposure to long-term heat stress during gestation negatively impacts the performance and productivity of Saanen goats, leading to significant physiological and cellular changes. Physiological parameters peak pre-partum in the hottest hour, with cortisol levels remaining significantly elevated even post-partum for goats subjected to thermal stress. These findings suggest that HSP70 and ACTHR genes could serve as valuable biomarkers for studying the long-term effects of heat stress on Saanen goats.

Summary: The study found that a ten-day mild cold acclimation without overt shivering did not significantly improve insulin sensitivity or metabolic effects in patients with type 2 diabetes, only having mild effects on fat oxidation, postprandial energy expenditure, and aortic augmentation index. This suggests that some form of muscle contraction may be necessary for beneficial effects of mild cold acclimation on metabolism.

Summary: This study found that long-term exposure to high temperatures affects the growth and physiological parameters of hybrid catfish. The best performance was observed at 32 degrees C, while fish acclimated at 37 degrees C showed decreased growth and feed utilization. Increasing temperatures also led to skin darkening, decreased fat content, altered blood parameters, and changes in gill and liver histology. Additionally, fish acclimated at higher temperatures exhibited increased operculum movement and gasping for air, indicating physiological stress. Overall, a maximum temperature of 37 degrees C may pose risks to hybrid catfish.

Summary: The study investigated the impact of heat stress on the expression of the HSP70 gene in chicken PBMCs. PBMCs were isolated from healthy adult birds and exposed to heat stress at 42 degrees C for 1 hour. The expression of HSP70 was gradually upregulated from 0 to 4 hours of recovery time, with peak expression observed at 4 hours. The study highlights the protective role of HSP70 against the deleterious effects of heat stress in chicken PBMCs and suggests the use of PBMCs as a cellular system for assessing heat stress in chickens ex vivo.

Summary: Ark shells exposed to high temperature stress show significant physiological and transcriptional responses, with acute heating treatment resulting in higher mortality rates compared to chronic heating treatment. Antioxidant defense systems and heat shock proteins play crucial roles in the thermal tolerance of ark shells, with continuous selection of heat-resistant strains possible through proper chronic thermal stress.

Summary: In this study, metabolomics was used to investigate the impact of thermal stress on the metabolic profile of Qingtian paddy field carp. The results showed that thermal stress altered multiple metabolic pathways, including lipid, amino acid, and carbohydrate metabolism. The findings clarify the molecular regulatory mechanism of PF carp adaptation to thermal stress and provide novel hypotheses for the biological regulation of other fish species under thermal stress.

Summary: This study investigated the cytological, physiological, and molecular response of giant clams to microplastics exposure. The results suggest that microplastics can suppress the photosynthesis, nutrient transportation, and detoxification ability of the symbionts, as well as the primary metabolism of the giant clam, potentially threatening their metabolic relationship and long-term survival.

Summary: Feed deprivation leads to rapid depletion of carbohydrate and lipid stores in rohu fish, accompanied by an increase in gluconeogenic and antioxidant enzyme activities and inhibition of lipogenic enzyme activity. Feed deprivation beyond 30 days causes a reduction in their overall metabolic activities.

Summary: The occurrence of transgenerational innate immune memory in invertebrates offers an opportunity for increased resistance against infectious diseases in offspring. This study investigated the creation and mechanisms of transgenerational innate immune memory in brine shrimps. The results showed that primed parental generation provided protection to subsequent generations against Vibrio infections, and the disease resistance was associated with changes in gene expression and epigenetic modifications.

Summary: Heat stress affects the fertility of dairy cattle, but supplementing vitamins E and coenzyme Q10 can alleviate its adverse effects on oocyte maturation and embryo development. Vitamin E was found to be more effective than vitamin C and coenzyme Q10 in improving maturation and cleavage rates, as well as increasing the count of blastocyst cells.
