ABSTRACT: Transcriptomic analysis of Reishia clavigera to organotins reveals the tissue-specific molecular responses associated with imposex development
Project description:Consecutive sexual maturation (CSM), an abnormal reproductive phenomenon of a marine snail, Reishia clavigera, has occurred since 2017 in the vicinity of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant after the nuclear disaster there. To determine the molecular basis for CSM, we conducted transcriptome profiling in the ganglia of normal and CSM snails.

Project description:Gc, a Mountain pine beetle associated pathogen, can survive from highly abundant pine chemicals ( e.g terpenes) and use some unflavored compound’s as carbon source. using RNA_Seq, we analyzed the transcriptome of Gc when it grew on limonene, mannose oliver-oil, oleic acid as carbon source, as well as when it survived from high concentration of limonene or heptane. We profiled the expression of some interesting genes ( ABC transporters, P450s) potentially involved in the tree-pathogen interaction. An ABC-G group transporter gene (GcABC-G1) was one of the most highly induced genes and characterized as a mono-terpene specific efflux transporter with genetic and molecular tools. RNA- seq also indicated Gc utilize limonene and oleic acid through the same beta-oxidation pathway. However the degradation of limonene is more complex and multiple pathways contributed to the survival/utilization.
