Synchronous Chinese hamster ovary cells were heated in G1 and incubated at 37 degrees C at pH 6.75 or pH 7.4 before they were heated a second time. The magnitude and rate of development and decay of thermotolerance were greatly reduced at pH 6.75. This was also observed for asynchronous cells. Furthermore, the heat-induced delay in cell cycle progression was greatly enhanced at low pH and correlated with the reduced rate for development and decay of thermotolerance. However, studies with [3H]TdR to kill cells entering S phase showed that the decay of thermotolerance is relatively independent of the cell cycle. Therefore, low pH apparently slows many cell processes, including those associated with heat-induced cell cycle delay and the rate of development and decay of thermotolerance.

Acquired thermotolerance (also known as priming) is the ability of cells or organisms to survive acute heat stress if preceded by a milder one. In plants, acquired thermotolerance has been studied mainly at the transcriptional level, including recent descriptions of sophisticated regulatory circuits that are essential for this learning capacity. Here, we tested the involvement of polysome-related processes (translation and cotranslational mRNA decay (CTRD)) in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) thermotolerance using two heat stress regimes with and without a priming event.

Article Synopsis
- Paecilomyces spp. are thermo-tolerant fungi that can cause various infections, notably in the paranasal sinuses and occasionally the ear, especially in immunocompromised individuals like diabetics.
- A case study highlights a 41-year-old male army officer with a severe upper ear infection and intracranial abscess due to Paecilomyces, which was successfully treated through surgery and antifungal medication.
- The findings underscore the importance of early detection and treatment of such rare fungal infections to prevent serious complications and differentiate them from similar conditions like cholesteatoma.

Early-life stages of canopy-forming macroalgae are critical for the maintenance of natural populations and the success of restoration actions. Unfortunately, the abiotic conditions and biotic interactions shaping the success of these stages have received less attention than the interactions shaping the success of adults. Here, we combined field and mesocosm experiments to explore the effects of temperature, herbivory, and canopy presence on the development of early-life stages of the brown seaweed Cystoseira foeniculacea.

Heat stress (HS) poses a significant challenge to plant survival, necessitating sophisticated molecular mechanisms to maintain cellular homeostasis. Here, we identify SICKLE (SIC) as a key modulator of HS responses in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). SIC is required for the sequestration of RNA DEBRANCHING ENZYME 1 (DBR1), a rate-limiting enzyme of lariat intronic RNA (lariRNA) decay, into stress granules (SGs).

Heat stress poses a significant environmental challenge that profoundly impacts wheat productivity. It disrupts vital physiological processes such as photosynthesis, by impeding the functionality of the photosynthetic apparatus and compromising plasma membrane stability, thereby detrimentally affecting grain development in wheat. The scarcity of identified marker trait associations pertinent to thermotolerance presents a formidable obstacle in the development of marker-assisted selection strategies against heat stress.
