Abscisic acid (ABA) is regarded as crucial for plant adaptation to water-limited conditions and it functions evolutionarily conserved. Thus, insights into the synthesis of ABA and its regulation on downstream stress-responsive genes in Neopyropia yezoensis, a typical Archaeplastida distributed in intertidal zone, will improve the knowledge about how ABA signaling evolved in plants. Here, the variations in ABA contents, antioxidant enzyme activities and expression of the target genes were determined under the presence of exogenous ABA and two specific inhibitors of the ABA precursor synthesis. ABA content was down-regulated under the treatments of each or the combination of the two inhibitors. Antioxidant enzyme activities like SOD, CAT and APX were decreased slightly with inhibitors, but up-regulated when the addition of exogenous ABA. The quantitative assays using real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) results were consistent with the enzyme activities. All the results suggested that ABA can also alleviate oxidative stress in N. yezoensis as it in terrestrial plant. Combined with the transcriptome assay, it was hypothesized that ABA is synthesized in N. yezoensis via a pathway that is similar to the carotenoid pathway in higher plants, and both the MVA and that the MEP pathways for isoprenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) synthesis likely exist simultaneously. The ABA signaling pathway in N. yezoensis was also analyzed from an evolutionary standpoint and it was illustrated that the emergence of the ABA signaling pathway in this alga is an ancestral one. In addition, the presence of the ABRE motif in the promoter region of antioxidase genes suggested that the antioxidase system is regulated by the ABA signaling pathway.

Long-term exposure to hyperosmotic environments can induce severe immune damage and increase risk in tilapia breeding. As an effective immunoregulator, β-glucan has attracted extensive attention in nutritional research and given rise to high expectations of improving health status and alleviating organismal damage in tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, in brackish water. In this study, an 8-week cultivation experiment was conducted on tilapia fed a basal diet or diets with β-glucan supplementation in freshwater (control) and brackish water. Growth performance, hematological aspects, immune cytokine expression, and the intestinal microbiota of tilapia were analyzed. The results indicated that supplementation with β-glucan significantly reduced the enlarged spleen of tilapia resulting from hypersaline stress. Tilapia fed β-glucan showed significantly-greater decreases in the red blood cell count, hematocrit, red cell distribution width, platelet count, and plateletcrit than those fed the basal diet. β-glucan significantly decreased the high expression of immune-related genes in the spleen induced by hyperosmotic stress. In the intestine, the high migration inhibitory factor-2 (MIF-2) and IL-1β gene expression induced by hypersaline stress was significantly reduced. β-glucan supplementation also significantly increased the abundance of beneficial microbiota such as Lactobacillus, Phycicoccus, and Rikenellaceae. Therefore, dietary β-glucan supplementation can significantly reduce spleen enlargement and improve immune function in tilapia in brackish water. β-glucan intake can also optimize the intestinal microbiota of tilapia in brackish water and improve fish health.
