Heat stress

  1. Global coral heat stress reached record levels from 2018 to 2025
    The 4th global coral bleaching event shows 87% of reefs in continuous heat stress since 2018, marking a shift to near-annual bleaching that overwhelms coral recovery capacity.
  2. BrDMC1 helps pollen meiosis tolerate heat in Brassica rapa
    BrDMC1 gene overexpression improves pollen fertility and meiotic stability in Brassica rapa under high-temperature stress by enhancing DNA repair and antioxidant defenses.
  3. Wheat genotypes showed location-specific heat tolerance and genetic diversity
    Study evaluating heat tolerance and genetic diversity in 25 wheat genotypes using Heat Susceptibility Index and SSR/STS markers across two locations under different sowing conditions.
