Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Unveiling the thermotolerance mechanism of Pichia kudriavzevii LC375240 through transcriptomic and genetic analyses

BMC Biology
Background Thermotolerance is a critical trait for yeasts employed in industrial settings, and the utilization of unconventional yeasts has gained notable attention in recent years.

Aphid and endosymbiont sensitivity to heatwaves is misaligned across life stages

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Aphids depend on the obligate symbiont Buchnera aphidicola, which may constrain thermal tolerance. Using a factorial heatwave experiment, we exposed nymphs and adults to moderate or extreme temperatures and measured fitness and symbiont responses.

CUL-6/cullin ubiquitin ligase-mediated degradation of HSP-90 by intestinal lysosomes promotes thermotolerance

Cell Reports
Summary: Heat shock can be a lethal stressor. Previously, we described a CUL-6/cullin-ring ubiquitin ligase complex in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans that is induced by intracellular intestinal infection and proteotoxic stress and that promotes ...

Genomic Investigations Unveil the Genetic Underpinnings of Environmental Adaptation in African Goat Populations

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study integrates genomics and landscape genetics to analyze African goat environmental adaptation. Analyzing 1591 samples, it finds population structure differentiates geographically into four groups, with gene flow between wild Yura goats and North Africans.

HSP GENE EXPRESSION IN WHEAT UNDER HEAT STRESS

Transactions of the Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2016
The influence of hardening (33 and 37°C) and damaging (43°C) temperatures on thermotolerance of cells of leaves and Hsp gene expression were studied on seedlings wheat. It was shown, that thermotolerance of plant cells under 33 and 37°Cgradually rose and

Evolution of Dermatophytic Fungi: Anthropogenic and Biogenic Environmental Factors

International Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change presents new challenges to dermatologic care, ranging from anthropogenic factors, such as pollution that select for extremotolerant and potentially antifungal‐resistant fungi, to biogenic factors that can drive zoonotic outbreaks, which have received increased attention since the SARS‐CoV‐2 pandemic.

Unraveling Biotypes Related to Thermotolerance During Lactation in Maternal‐Line Pigs Through Principal Component and Factor Analyses

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heat stress imposes significant challenges to welfare, health, and productivity of lactating sows due to their limited thermoregulatory capacity and increased metabolic heat load. Genetic selection for improved heat tolerance is a promising yet complex approach, given the large number of biological processes involved in heat stress response ...

Heat-response patterns of the heat shock transcription factor family in advanced development stages of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and thermotolerance-regulation by TaHsfA2–10

BMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background Heat shock transcription factors (Hsfs) are present in majority of plants and play central roles in thermotolerance, transgenerational thermomemory, and many other stress responses.

MdATG18a overexpression improves basal thermotolerance in transgenic apple by decreasing damage to chloroplasts

Horticulture Research, 2020
High temperature is an abiotic stress factor that threatens plant growth and development. Autophagy in response to heat stress involves the selective removal of heat-induced protein complexes.
