Heat stress and pathogens are two serious yield-limiting factors of crop plants. Plants that previously experienced high but sub-lethal temperatures become subsequently tolerant to higher temperatures through the development of acquired thermotolerance (ATT). ATT activation is associated with the elevated expression of heat shock (HS)-related genes such as HSFA2, HSFA3, and HSP101.

Methods: The study enrolled 30 patients (30 eyes) with a mean age of 59.
Oil red O staining is effective in detection and quantification of neutral lipid droplets in tissues such as the liver. However, converting images into testable data using ImageJ can be time-consuming and is prone to inaccuracy or bias. We describe a protocol for automated qualitative measurement of lipid droplets in the bird liver using a batch processing macro script.
