title: Data and R codes from: Exploring the effect of 195 years-old locks on species movement: Landscape genetics of painted turtles in the Rideau Canal, Canada

description: Aquatic systems have been extensively altered by human structures (e.g., construction of dams/canals) and these have major impacts on the connectivity of wildlife populations through the loss and isolation of suitable habitats. Habitat loss and isolation affect gene flow and influence the persistence of populations in time and space by restricting movements. Isolation can result in higher inbreeding, lower genetic diversity, and greater genetic structure, which may render populations more vulnerable to environmental changes, and thus to extinction. Given the ubiquity and the persistence of dams and canals in space and time, it is crucial to understand their effects on the population genetics of aquatic species. Here, we documented the genetic diversity and structure of painted turtle (<em>Chrysemys picta</em>) populations in the Rideau Canal, Ontario, Canada. More specifically, we used 13 microsatellites to evaluate the influence of locks on genetic variation in 822 painted turtles from 22 sites evenly distributed along the 202-km canal. Overall, we found low, but significant, genetic differentiation suggesting that some dispersal is occurring throughout the canal. In addition, we showed that locks contribute to the genetic differentiation observed in the system. Clustering analysis revealed two distinct genetic groups whose boundary is associated with a series of six locks. Our results illustrate how artificial waterways, such as canal systems, can influence population genetic structure. We highlight the importance of adopting management plans that can mitigate the impacts of human infrastructure and preserve gene flow across the landscape to maintain viable populations.

title: Understanding the perception of secondary school toward agricultural careers in DR Congo, Kenya and Nigeria

description: The COVID-19 pandemic is a crisis that has gripped the world, causing governments and development agencies to search for critical measures to protect their people. The situation not only represents a significant health risk but has resulted in school closures that have disrupted agricultural education. This impedes the attainment of Africa’s larger food security and rural transformation agendas. Six months before the advent of the pandemic, the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture initiated a pilot project, Start Them Early Program (STEP) whose goal is to reinforce pathways to careers in agriculture within secondary schools in DR Congo, Kenya, and Nigeria. The project has now been forced to rethink its approach while embracing information and communication technologies due to the school closures.  This paper describes the process involved in that operational pivot, particularly concerning the shift from electronic teaching by instructors towards distance electronic learning by students. Key issues addressed are the consolidation of digital applications, development of a mobile-based toolbox for use by young farmers, and constraints to device ownership. The means of addressing these concerns through working with instructors and their larger school systems are explained. Action points and resources that are recommended include the distribution of upgraded instructor workstations, a listing of relevant software applications, and the design of a mobile-based all-in-one toolkit for agriculture students and young farmers. The latter two developments have wider application in the reform of agricultural extension amongst the tech-savvy youth taking up agribusiness.

title: Acute heat stress alters the expression of genes and proteins associated with the unfolded protein response pathway in the liver of broilers

description: 1. The aim of this study was to explore the effects of acute heat stress on serum hormone levels and the expression of genes and proteins related to the unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway and apoptotic process in the liver of broilers. 2. A total of 144 Arbor Acres broilers (35-d-old) were randomly allocated to 4 different environmental-controlled chambers for acute heat exposure. The temperature of the 4 environmental chambers was adjusted to 26°C (control), 29°C, 32°C, and 35°C within 1 h, respectively. The blood and liver samples were collected after 6 h of constant heat exposure at set temperatures. 3. The results showed that 6 h of acute heat stress increased serum hormone levels and up-regulated the expression of heat shock protein. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress markers, GRP78 and GRP94, in the liver of broilers were significantly upregulated at the <i>mRNA</i> and protein levels. The <i>PERK, IRE1</i>, and <i>XBP1</i> genes, which are involved in the unfolded protein response signalling, were significantly up-regulated at the <i>mRNA</i> levels. However, other pro-apoptotic genes showed no significant changes in the liver of broiler chickens in all groups except for upregulation of the anti-apoptotic gene <i>BCL-xl</i>. 4. The results suggested that broilers have tolerance to acute heat stress to a certain extent. The UPR activation can alleviate ER stress and further prevent apoptosis in the liver of broilers under short-term exposure to high ambient temperatures.

title: Report of a new <i>meq</i> gene size: The first study on genetic characterisation of Marek’s disease viruses circulating in Iranian commercial layer and backyard chicken

description: 1. In recent months, several outbreaks with clinical signs of MDV-1 were reported in Iranian parent and laying hen farms, in addition to backyard chickens. Several <i>meq</i> gene sequences from these outbreaks were amplified and molecularly characterised. 2. The meq protein sequences revealed three different sizes, namely the standard 339 aa, a shorter form of 338 aa lacking a proline residue at position 191, and a very short (vs) size of 265 aa. Based on sequence and size, the 265 aa meq has never been reported from international research groups before. The protein has only one PPPP repeat motif suggesting it belongs to a highly virulent strain. 3. The standard meq sequences showed 100% BLAST identity to the vv+ isolate Polen5. However, the 338 aa form clustered to the clade usually reported from North America. 4. This is the first report on genetic analysis of MDV-1 from Iran, but further study is required to obtain a better picture of the diversity and prevalence of different MDV-1 strains circulating in the country’s farms, backyard poultry and other bird species.

title: Transcriptome profiling reveals morphogenesis-related candidate genes and pathways in the chick embryonic small intestine

description: 1. A better understanding of intestinal development is essential for the intestinal health of poultry. Intestinal villification starts on embryo day E15 and is generally completed before hatching (E21). The development of lymphoid organs in the intestine starts during embryogenesis. However, transcriptional information on the processing of intestinal morphogenesis and immune development during chick embryogenesis is limited. 2. In this work, RNA-sequencing was performed using 12 biological replicates to investigate Hy-Line brown chick embryonic small intestinal transcription at E15 and E21. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between E15 and E21 were identified. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses, based on the DEGs, were performed to identify key GO terms in the biological process category and key KEGG pathways. PPI networks were constructed based on the DEGs in the key pathways to screen hub genes. The embryonic small intestinal morphology and IgA distribution were observed by histological processing. The serum levels of IgA and lysozyme were measured by ELISA. 3. A total of 76.38 Gb of high-quality RNA-sequencing data were generated and uploaded. A total of 2,676 DEGs, between E15 and E21, were identified. Structural development and villification of the small intestine at E15 tended to proceed <i>via</i> the expression of nervous system development-related genes. A combination of the histological and serological results with the transcriptome data indicated that the identified genes and pathways may be strong candidates for intestinal morphogenesis-regulation. 4. The small intestine appears to have developed a relatively complete morphology and transport, metabolism, digestion and immunity functions by E21. This work provided a transcriptome profile of the chick embryonic small intestine and provided insights into the intestinal development and health of poultry.
