Summary: Heat stress disrupts the mutualistic relationship between corals and symbiotic algae, leading to coral bleaching. Changes in fatty acid composition suggest that FA could be a potential health indicator for assessing the impact of environmental stressors on corals. Further studies on FA profiles may offer a better understanding of this relationship under harsh climate conditions.

Summary: This study found that tobacco exhibits different physiological responses to low-temperature stress during the vigorous growth period. The antioxidant enzyme system, osmotic adjusting system, and polyphenol metabolism in tobacco gradually increased in response to low temperature stress at 10-16 degrees Celsius. However, under low temperature stress at 4 degrees Celsius, the capacity for stress tolerance in plants did not significantly improve.

Summary: Heat stress in poultry houses has negative effects on poultry growth and performance. This study aimed to investigate the gene expression profile of the chicken liver under acute heat stress (AHS). The results revealed 77 meta-genes related to protein biosynthesis, protein folding, and protein transport between cellular organelles. Genes involved in response to unfolded proteins, reticulum stress, and ERAD pathway were also differentially regulated. Certain genes, such as HSPA5, SSR1, SDF2L1, and SEC23B, showed significant differentiation under AHS and could be used as bio-signatures. This study provides insights into the effects of AHS on gene expression profiling and the adaptive response of chickens to environmental stresses.

Summary: This study investigates the physiological response to heat stress of three genetically different Symbiodiniaceae strains isolated from the scleractinian coral Mussismilia braziliensis. The study found that the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) varied across strains and exposure times, with a 2-fold increase at higher temperature in one of the strains. There was also intrapopulation difference in ROS production, highlighting the importance of single cell approaches. Additionally, cell size increased and chlorophyll fluorescence decreased at higher temperatures, indicating a photoacclimation response.

Summary: This study investigated the response mechanism of microalgae under heat and cold stress. The results showed that heat stress led to a significant increase in reactive oxygen species, while cold stress initially increased and then decreased reactive oxygen species. Key elements such as superoxide dismutase and nitric oxide increased under heat stress, while proline and heat shock transcriptional factor increased under cold stress. This study provides a basis for understanding the response mechanism of microalgae to temperature stress and improving their tolerance to temperature stress.

Summary: In recent years, there has been an increase in the occurrence of fowl adenovirus 2 (FAdV-2) in China, posing a significant threat to the poultry industry. This study investigated the epidemiology, phylogenetic relationship, genomic characteristics, and pathogenicity of FAdV-2. The results showed that FAdV-2 was the most commonly detected serotype among various FAdV serotypes. Genetic analysis revealed that these FAdV-2 strains formed a distinct branch within the FAdV-D group and had a high nucleotide similarity with reference strains. Recombination analysis identified recombination events between FAdV-2 and FAdV-11 in some strains. Pathogenicity experiments demonstrated that a recombinant FAdV-2 strain caused a high mortality rate and more severe disease in chickens. These findings contribute to our understanding of FAdV-2 and provide a basis for vaccine development.

The results showed that protein and energy levels significantly influenced all productive outcomes except feed conversion ratio. The combination of dietary energy and protein levels had a substantial effect on all egg quality trials evaluated. It is recommended to feed layer Japanese quail between the ages of 8 and 20 weeks during the summer with a dietary energy content of 2,900 kcal ME/kg and 20% CP.

Summary: The study investigates the functional variants associated with chicken eggshell color in the SLCO1B3 gene by measuring the eggshell color of Lueyang black-boned chickens and analyzing the genetic data. It identifies 15 variants in SLCO1B3 that are significantly associated with eggshell color. However, the functional analysis shows that one specific variant, 1B3_SNP108, does not have a significant effect on promoter activity. This study highlights the importance of SLCO1B3 and its variants in breeding eggshell color.

Summary: This study examined the effect of risk perceptions on preventive behavior among vendors in the live poultry wholesale market and the live poultry retail market in Guangdong Province using the health belief model and structural equation modeling. The results showed that perceived severity and perceived benefits positively influenced vendors' self-efficacy in the wholesale market, while perceived barriers negatively affected self-efficacy in both the wholesale and retail markets. Moreover, cues to action mediated the relationship between perceived severity, perceived benefits, and self-efficacy, and also mediated the effect of perceived susceptibility among wholesale market vendors.
