Impact of water stress to plant epigenetic mechanisms in stress and adaptation

Physiologia Plantarum, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 177(1)

Published: Jan. 1, 2025

Abstract Water is the basic molecule in living beings, and it has a major impact on vital processes. Plants are sessile organisms with sophisticated regulatory network that regulates how resources distributed between developmental adaptation Drought‐stressed plants can change their survival strategies to adapt this unfavorable situation. Indeed, modify, change, modulate gene expression when grown low‐water environment. This occurs through several mechanisms affect of genes, allowing these resist dry regions. Epigenetic modulation emerged as factor transcription regulation drought stress‐related genes. Moreover, specific molecular epigenetic modifications certain genetic networks lead adapted responses aid plant's acclimatization during repeated stress. understanding plant severe environmental stresses, including drought, critical for biotechnological applications. Here, we first focused stress general We also discussed exposed water be passed down generations.

Global One Health index for zoonoses: A performance assessment in 160 countries and territories

iScience, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 27(4), P. 109297 - 109297

Published: March 11, 2024

The One Health (OH) approach is used to control/prevent zoonotic events. However, there a lack of tools for systematically assessing OH practices. Here, we applied the Global Index (GOHI) evaluate global performance zoonoses (GOHI-Zoonoses). fuzzy analytic hierarchy process algorithm and comparison matrix were calculate weights scores five key indicators, 16 subindicators, 31 datasets 160 countries territories worldwide. distribution GOHI-Zoonoses varies significantly across regions, reflecting strengths weaknesses in controlling or responding threats. Correlation analyses revealed that score was associated with economic, sociodemographic, environmental, climatic, zoological factors. Additionally, Human Development had positive effect on score. This study provides an evidence-based reference guidance global, regional, country-level efforts optimize health people, animals, environment.

IntechOpen eBooks, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: April 22, 2025

The modulation of gut microbiota presents a promising avenue for improving livestock health, productivity, and sustainability. Traditional strategies such as probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics have demonstrated effectiveness in enhancing health immune function while reducing the reliance on antibiotics. Recent advances introduced innovative approaches, including postbiotics, fecal transplantation (FMT), precision biotics, to emerging synthetic biology applications bacteriophage therapy, offering targeted interventions with potential high specificity efficacy. However, successful integration into agricultural systems requires navigating complex regulatory frameworks addressing safety, scalability, economic feasibility concerns. This chapter aims critically assess traditional, advanced, strategies, evaluating their mechanisms, applications, limitations highlighting transformative achieving sustainable production global public challenges. offers practical guidance veterinarians, researchers, policymakers, producers seeking integrate microbiota-based modern operations.

Bisphenol S (BPS), one of the substitutes for bisphenol A (BPA), is widely used in various commodities. The BPS concentrations surface water have gradually increased recent years, making it a predominant analogue aquatic environment and raising concerns about its health ecological effects on organisms. For this study, we conducted 96 h acute toxicity test 15-day developmental exposure to assess adverse Chinese medaka (Oryzias sinensis), new local animal model. results indicate that embryos led relatively low toxicity. However, was found cause abnormalities, such as decreased hatching rate body length, at 15 dpf. transcriptome analysis showed different often induced reactions. In summary, environmental can physical development medaka, further attention needs be paid potential BPS.

Abstract Background The zoonotic infectious diseases of poverty (zIDPs) are a group contributing to global poverty, with significant impacts on substantial population. This study aims describe the global, regional, and national burden zIDPs—schistosomiasis, cystic echinococcosis, cysticercosis, food-borne trematodiases (FBTs)—to support policy making resource allocation for their control elimination. Methods Data zIDPs from Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021 were retrieved 1990 2021. age-standardized prevalence rate (ASPR), mortality (ASMR), disability-adjusted life-year (DALY) described estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs) calculated quantify temporal trends. Spearman correlation analysis was conducted examine relationship between rates Socio-demographic Index (SDI). Results In 2021, these exhibited certain level ASPRs DALY rates, while maintaining relatively low ASMRs. Noticeably, schistosomiasis presented highest ASPR 1914.299 (95% UI: 1378.920, 2510.853 per 100,000 population) an 21.895 12.937, 37.278 among zIDPs. tapestry burden—woven predominantly through lower-middle SDI regions—stretched across Africa, Latin America, parts Asia. From kaleidoscopic shift observed globally as ASPRs, ASMRs, declined significantly, reflected by EAPC values.
