Osmoregulation mechanism underlying acclimation and adaptation of migratory fish to
different salinities has been studied for decades. Recently developed transcriptomic and …

Drought stress is the major abiotic factor threatening maize (Zea mays L.) yield globally.
Therefore, revealing the molecular mechanisms fundamental to drought tolerance in maize …

Salt stress is a major abiotic factor limiting maize yield. To characterize the mechanism
underlying maize salt tolerance, we compared the seedling root proteomes of salt-tolerant …

Adventitious root (AR) formation from cuttings is the primary manner for the commercial
vegetative propagation of trees. Cuttings is also the main method for the vegetative …

Sea cucumbers have a striking capacity to regenerate most of their viscera after
evisceration, which has drawn the interest of many researchers. In this study, the isobaric tag …

Metamorphosis, as a critical developmental event, controls the population dynamics of most
marine invertebrates, especially some carnivorous gastropods that feed on bivalves, whose …

Metal pollution caused by deep-sea mining activities has potential detrimental effects on
deep-sea ecosystems. However, our knowledge of how deep-sea organisms respond to this …

Gastropods are the largest and most diverse class of mollusc and include species that are
well studied within the areas of taxonomy, aquaculture, biomineralization, ecology …

Background Scallops possess striated and catch adductor muscles, which have different
structure and contractile properties. The striated muscle contracts very quickly for swimming …

Larval development, especially settlement and metamorphosis, has a vital influence on
commercial culture during the life cycle of marine invertebrates. Sipunculus nudus, a peanut …
