Objective: To analyze the difference between basal and heat-inducible levels of lymphocyte heat shock protein 71 (HSP71) expression in soldiers from Beijing, Zhengzhou and Guangzhou.
Methods: Flow cytometry and Comet assay were used to detect the level of HSP71 and DNA damage respectively.
Results: Comet assay showed that there was no significant DNA damage before and after heat stress at 41 degrees C for 1 h, and also no difference found among the 3 climatic zones(P > 0.05). HSP71 of all soldiers in the 3 zones elevated after stress (P < 0.05). The basal and heat-inducible levels of HSP71 in Beijing soldiers(845.87 +/- 135.60 and 1254. 47 +/- 239.05 mean fluorescence intensity respectively) were higher than those in Guangzhou soldiers(702.73 +/- 184.70 and 861.72 +/- 225.12 mean fluorescence intensity respectively) (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: The differences of lymphocyte HSP71 expression before and after heat stress among the soldiers from Beijing, Zhengzhou and Guangzhou suggest that basal and heat-inducible levels of lymphocyte HSP71 expression may be considered as a valuable index to evaluate heat tolerance of soldiers in different climatic zones.

Unlabelled: The present study was carried out to investigate the physio-biochemical and molecular responses of two rice genotypes (Noichi and N22) under drought, heat and combined drought/heat stress conditions. The antagonistic stomatal activity was found under the combined stress conditions; stomata were open under control and heat stress, conversely, stomata remained closed under drought and combined stress levels. Photosynthetic activity and chlorophyll content are decreased by the overproduction of reactive oxygen species and increased lipid peroxidation in both rice genotypes.

Human 71 kDa heat shock cognate protein (HSPA8, also known as Hsc70, Hsp70-8, Hsc71, Hsp71 or Hsp73) is a constitutively expressed chaperone that is critical for cell proteostasis. In the cytosol, HSPA8 plays a pivotal role in folding and refolding, facilitates protein trafficking across membranes and targets proteins for degradation, among other functions. Here, we report an in solution study of recombinant HSPA8 (rHSPA8) using a variety of biophysical and biochemical approaches.

Background: Abscisic acid (ABA) acts as a signaling hormone in plants against abiotic stress, but its function in energy homeostasis under heat stress is unclear.
Results: Two rice genotypes, Nipponbare (wild-type, WT) with flat leaves and its mutant high temperature susceptibility (hts) plant with semi-rolled leaves, were subjected to heat stress. We found significantly higher tissue temperature, respiration rate, and ABA and HO contents in leaves as well as a lower transpiration rate and stomatal conductance in hts than WT plants.

Heat stress at the pollen mother cell (PMC) meiotic stage leads to pollen sterility in rice, in which the reactive oxygen species (ROS) and sugar homeostasis are always adversely affected. This damage is reversed by abscisic acid (ABA), but the mechanisms underlying the interactions among the ABA, sugar metabolism, ROS and heat shock proteins in rice spikelets under heat stress are unclear. Two rice genotypes, Zhefu802 (a recurrent parent) and fgl (its near-isogenic line) were subjected to heat stress of 40°C after pre-foliage sprayed with ABA and its biosynthetic inhibitor fluridone at the meiotic stage of PMC.
