Trimethylamine oxide accumulation as a function of depth in Hawaiian midwater fishes
Meeting Abstract 49-1 Tuesday, Jan. 5 10:00 Trimethylamine oxide accumulation as a function of depth in Hawaiian midwater fishes BOCKUS, A.B.*; SEIBEL, B.A.; University of Rhode Island; University of Rhode Island abockus@my.uri.edu Trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) is a common osmolyte and counteracting solute. It is believed to combat the stress induced by hydrostatic pressure as some deep-sea animals […]
The endoplasmic reticulum chaperones control canalization of animal development under environmental stress
Meeting Abstract 49-7 Tuesday, Jan. 5 11:30 The endoplasmic reticulum chaperones control canalization of animal development under environmental stress SATO, A; Ochanomizu University sato.atsuko@ocha.ac.jp http://www-p.cc.ocha.ac.jp/bio-atuko/ Canalization is a result of intrinsic developmental buffering that ensures phenotypic robustness under genetic variation and environmental perturbation. As a consequence, animal phenotypes are remarkably consistent within a species under a wide […]
