Comparative transcriptome analysis of Paphia undulata with different foot colors.

Foot color is an important trait in Paphia undulata that influences consumer selection. To elucidate the molecular basis of foot color, six transcriptome libraries of P. undulata with different foot colors were constructed: white (L2, L3 and L4) and orange (D2, D3, D4).

Transcriptome Analysis in Haematococcus pluvialis: Astaxanthin Induction by Salicylic Acid (SA) and Jasmonic Acid (JA).

Haematococcus pluvialis is an astaxanthin-rich microalga that can increase its astaxanthin production by salicylic acid (SA) or jasmonic acid (JA) induction. The genetic transcriptome details of astaxanthin biosynthesis were analyzed by exposing the algal cells to 25 mg/L of SA and JA for 1, 6 and 24 hours, plus to the control (no stress). Based on the RNA-seq analysis, 56,077 unigenes (51.
