Description
Heat stress and climate resilience are significant concerns in modern livestock management, particularly in tropical regions like India. This book, titled “Comparative Expression of Stress Marker Genes in PBMCs of Sahiwal and Kosali Cattle Under In Vitro Heat Stress Conditions,” represents a thorough research effort aimed at exploring how native cattle breeds respond to environmental stress at the molecular level. The investigation specifically examines the expression of key stress-related genes—HSP70, HSP90, and Cu-Zn SOD—in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of Sahiwal and Kosali breeds when subjected to controlled in vitro heat stress. The study was conducted with a clear objective: to enhance the understanding of the innate thermotolerance mechanisms of indigenous cattle. This knowledge can aid in genetic selection and breeding strategies for climate-adaptive livestock.
