Ambient temperature is an important abiotic factor that influences growth performance and
physiological functions in sea cucumbers. To understand the molecular responses of the …

The sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus is exploited as a commercial species owing to
their high nutritive and medicinal value. Recent high summer temperatures have caused …

Marine ectotherms inhabiting intertidal and shallow subtidal environments are continuously
exposed to diurnal tidal cycles and seasonal variability in temperature. These organisms …

Background Antarctic marine organisms have evolved a variety of physiological, life-history
and molecular adaptations that allow them to cope with the extreme conditions in one of the …

The aquaculture industry for Apostichopus japonicus has suffered severe economic and
resource losses due to high temperature in recent summers. There is increasing concern …

In this study, we explored the gene expression profiles in Apostichopus japonicus under
continuous heat stress (6 h, 48 h and 192 h) by applying RNA-seq technique. A total of 676 …

Heat shock proteins (Hsp) are class of conserved and ubiquitous stress proteins present in
all living organisms from primitive to higher level. Various studies have demonstrated …

Wound repair is a key event in the regeneration mechanisms of echinoderms. We studied, at
the behavioural, cellular and molecular levels, the wound healing processes in Holothuria …

Sea cucumber is a sensitive organism that is easily challenged by environmental change.
The aim of this study was to characterize the proteome of sea cucumbers from 5 main …
