Transcriptome analyses of immune system behaviors in the scleractinian coral ...
Elevated temperatures directly or indirectly alter the distribution of coral-pathogen interactions and thereby exacerbate infectious coral diseases. The pathogenic bacterium... -
Genetic variation and expression difference in Acropora digitifera
To understand genetic variation and expression differences in Acropora digitifera, we determined genome short reads and RNA-seq reads of 11 Acropora digitifera colonies. -
Functional analysis of Brachyury in the coral Acropora digitifera
The T-box transcription factor Brachyury plays crucial roles in embryonic development of metazoans. Its function in vertebrate mesoderm formation has been intensively studied.... -
Characterizing circalunar and diel rhythmicity in the model coral Acropora di...
Ten mature colonies of Acropora digitifera (measuring >50 cm in diameter) were collected from Sesoko Island, Okinawa, Japan (26°38028" North, 127°51035" East) on June 25th,... -
Adult Acropora digitifera cells transcriptome
Transcription profile of A. digitifera 4 weeks old cultured cells. Cultured cells were used to identify transcriptional modules associated with cell proliferation and... -
Acropora digitifera developmental progression
To understand how changes in gene expression regulate morphogenetic transitions at the base of eumetazoa, we performed quantitative RNA-seq analysis during development of the... -
Deciphering the nature of the coral-Chromera association
Since the discovery of Chromera velia as a novel coral-associated microalga, this organism has attracted interest because of its unique evolutionary position between the... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and coral (Acropora digitifera and Acropora tenu...
Ocean acidification, caused by increased atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations, is currently an important environmental problem. It is therefore necessary to... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and calcification rate, endosymbiont density, an...
Anthropogenic emission of CO2 into the atmosphere has been increasing exponentially, causing ocean acidification (OA) and ocean warming (OW). The “business-as-usual” scenario... -
Colony-specific investigations reveal highly variable responses among individ...
As anthropogenic climate change is an ongoing concern, scientific investigations on its impacts on coral reefs are increasing. Although impacts of combined ocean acidification... -
Nutrient availability affects the response of juvenile corals and the endosym...
The interactive effects of nutrient availability and ocean acidification on coral calcification were investigated using post-settlement juvenile corals of Acropora digitifera... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and expression of hsp70, hsp90 and hsf1 in the r...
Ocean acidification is an ongoing threat for marine organisms due to the increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration. Seawater acidification has a serious impact on physiologic... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry, Acropora digitifera growth and skeletal U/Ca ra...
The impact of ocean acidification caused by the increasing atmospheric CO2 has been studied in marine calcifiers, including hermatypic corals. However, the effect of elevated... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry, survival, metamorphosis and respiration rate of...
Ocean acidification may negatively impact the early life stages of some marine invertebrates including corals. Although reduced growth of juvenile corals in acidified seawater...
