Background: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of sugarcane bagasse-extracted polyphenolic mixture (SBPM) supplementation on the harmful effects of chronic heat stress (HS) in broiler chickens. Methods: Two hundred and eighty-eight day-old male Ross 308 chicks were fed an SBPM in 0, 75, 150, or 300 ppm-supplemented diets and reared under ther...

Platforms have been shown to be a suitable environmental enrichment for broiler chickens, accommodating their motivation to roost and rest at an elevated position. In order to increase the animal welfare benefits, we designed prototype elevated platforms with additional functionalities: a local cooling system, a sheltered area underneath the platfo...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of thermal manipulation during incubation on the hatchability, the performance, the carcass characteristics, the intestinal villi, the nutrient metabolizability, and some physiological parameters in broiler chickens. Ross eggs were randomly distributed into four commercial automatic incubato...

Heat stress constitutes a serious threat to sesame (Sesamum indicum L.). Root development during seed germination plays an essential role in plant growth and development. Nevertheless, the regulatory mechanisms underlying heat stress remain poorly understood. In this study, two sesame varieties differing in leaf heat tolerance (Zheng Taizhi 3 (heat...

Wheat end-use quality is an important component of a wheat breeding program. Heat stress during grain filling impacts wheat quality traits, making it crucial to understand the genetic basis of wheat quality traits under post-anthesis heat stress. This study aimed to identify the genomic regions associated with wheat quality traits using genome-wide...

The frequent occurrence of excessive heat events driven by global warming poses a great threat to plant growth and food security. To survive in heat stress (HS) environments, plants have evolved sophisticated response mechanisms, and the transcriptional network that controls the expression levels of HS-inducible genes serves as an essential compone...

Climate change has significant implications for agriculture, especially in viticulture, where temperature plays a crucial role in grapevine (Vitis vinifera) growth. Mendoza’s climate is ideal for producing high-quality wines, but 21st-century climate change is expected to have negative impacts. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of increased ...

Heat stress (HS) due to high temperatures has adverse effects on poultry, including decreased feed intake, lower feed efficiency, decreased body weight, and higher mortality. There are complex mechanisms behind heat stress in poultry involving the neuroendocrine system, organ damage, and other physiological systems. HS activates endocrine glands, s...

Eriobotrya japonica (loquat) is an evergreen fruit tree of the apple tribe in Rosaceae with high edible and medicinal value. The yield and quality of loquat fruits are significantly influenced by environmental stress, particularly heat stress during fruit ripening. In this study, thirty EjHSFs were identified in the loquat genome. Twenty-nine EjHSF...

In the context of climate change, there has been an increased interest in improving management practices for animals genetically adapted to extreme environmental conditions, such as buffaloes. The temperature–humidity index (THI) is used to determine the severity of heat stress in livestock. This study aimed to evaluate the cytokine profile, oxidat...
