Foliar cytokinins or brassinosteroids applications influence the rice plant acclimatization to combined heat stress

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The effect of different foliar sprays numbers of cytokinins – (CK) and brassinosteroids – (BR) on the physiological, biochemical, and panicle parameters of rice plants subjected to combined heat stress (high day/night temperatures) were studied in three ...

Heat Stress Responses and Thermotolerance in Maize

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
High temperatures causing heat stress disturb cellular homeostasis and impede growth and development in plants. Extensive agricultural losses are attributed to heat stress, often in combination with other stresses.

Climate change and the kidney [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The worldwide increase in temperature has resulted in a marked increase in heat waves (heat extremes) that carries a markedly increased risk for morbidity and mortality.

Some Like It Hot, Some Like It Warm: Phenotyping To Explore Thermotolerance Diversity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Plants have evolved overlapping but distinct cellular responses to different aspects of high temperature stress. These responses include basal thermotolerance, short- and long-term acquired thermotolerance, and thermotolerance to moderately high ...

Increasing Human‐Perceived Heat Stress Risks Exacerbated by Urbanization in China: A Comparative Study Based on Multiple Metrics

open access: yesEarth's Future, 2021
More than half of the total population in China are living in cities. Especially, the people in highly developed and spatially integrated city clusters, i.e., urban agglomerations (UAs), are facing increasing human‐perceived heat stress that describes ...

Heat Stress in the Workplace [PDF]

open access: yesBaylor University Medical Center Proceedings, 2000
Many work environments expose workers to extremely hot and humid conditions. The most vivid example of this is the firefighter, who inevitably must tolerate heat stress as part of the risks inherent to his or her job. Whereas the worker is expected to report imminent heat exhaustion before catastrophe occurs, ultimately the employer is held liable by ...

Transcriptome analysis identifies genes and co-expression networks underlying heat tolerance in pigs

open access: yesBMC Genetics, 2020
Background Heat stress adversely affects pig growth and reproduction performance by reducing feed intake, weight gain, farrowing rate, and litter size. Heat tolerance is an important characteristic in pigs, allowing them to mitigate the negative effects ...

Local temperature-sensitive mechanisms are important mediators of limb tissue hyperemia in the heat-stressed human at rest and during small muscle mass exercise. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Limb tissue and systemic blood flow increases with heat stress, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we tested the hypothesis that heat stress-induced increases in limb tissue perfusion are primarily mediated by local temperature-

Crop Production under Drought and Heat Stress: Plant Responses and Management Options

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Abiotic stresses are one of the major constraints to crop production and food security worldwide. The situation has aggravated due to the drastic and rapid changes in global climate. Heat and drought are undoubtedly the two most important stresses having

Heat Stress and feeding strategies in meat-type chickens [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Heat stress can induce hyperthermia in poultry. A reduction in heat load can be achieved by increasing the possibilities for dissipation, decreasing the level of heat production or by changing the thermal production pattern within a day.
