Maize, a major staple cereal crop in global food supply, is a thermophilic and short-day C4 plant sensitive to low-temperature stress. A low temperature is among the most severe agro-meteorological hazards in maize-growing areas. This review covers the latest research and progress in the field of chilling tolerance in maize in the last 40 years. It mainly focuses on how low-temperature stress affects the maize membrane and antioxidant systems, photosynthetic physiology, osmoregulatory substances and hormone levels. In addition, the research progress in identifying cold-tolerance QTLs (quantitative trait loci) and genes to genetically improve maize chilling toleranceis comprehensively discussed. Based on previous research, this reviewprovides anoutlook on potential future research directions and offers a reference for researchers in the maize cold-tolerance-related field.

Recent changes in climate and environments have promoted the range expansion of insect pests of tropical and subtropical origins into temperate regions. For more accurate and faster risk assessment of this expansion, we developed a novel indicator to link a physiologically derived parameter of chilling injury with the survival of insect populations in nature by using two insects, Spodoptera frugiperda and Cicadulina bipunctata with tropical and subtropical origins, and one cool-adapted insect, Laodelphax striatellus. The parameter derived from a proportional increment in the time to 99.

Background: Fabry disease (FD), an X-linked lysosomal disorder, is marked by a lack of alpha-galactosidase A (α-Gal A). Agalsidase beta, a recombinant form of α-Gal A, is fundamental to enzyme replacement therapy for FD but requires close monitoring for adverse events (AEs).
Research Design And Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database for agalsidase beta-related AEs.

Tolerance of chilling dictates the geographical distribution, establishment, and productivity of C crops. Chilling reduces enzyme rate, limiting the sink for the absorbed light energy leading to the need for quick energy dissipation via non-photochemical quenching (NPQ). Here, we characterize NPQ upon chilling in three Miscanthus accessions representing diverse chilling tolerance in C grasses.
