Article Synopsis
  • Summer mortality due to high temperatures is a major challenge for abalone aquaculture, prompting researchers to study the thermal regulation genes in Pacific abalone.
  • The recent draft genome of Pacific abalone allowed for the analysis of 413 heat shock proteins (HSPs), revealing 26 genes that showed different expression patterns in four tissues (hemocytes, gill, mantle, and muscle) under temperature stress.
  • Findings indicated that HSP expression was tissue-specific, with hemocytes proving to be a more reliable indicator for thermal condition markers compared to other tissues.

Nut weight is one of the most important traits that can affect a chestnut grower's returns. Due to the long juvenile phase of chestnut trees, the selection of desired characteristics at early developmental stages represents a major challenge for chestnut breeding. In this study, we identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in transcriptomic regions, which were significantly associated with nut weight in chestnuts (Castanea crenata), using a genome-wide association study (GWAS).
