RT Conference Proceedings T1 De novo transcriptome characterization of Ulva lacinulata under in situ emersion/immersion cyclic conditions. A1 López Parages, María A1 Sánchez de Pedro Crespo, Raquel A1 Smerdou-Gámez, Carlos K1 Algas marinas - Fisiología K1 Algas marinas - Genética AB The green algal genus Ulva Linnaeus (Ulvaceae, Ulvales, Chlorophyta) displays a worldwidedistribution in marine, freshwater and brackish ecosystems, and are really well adapted tofluctuating natural environments. Despite increasing interest on the analysis of theecophysiological responses showed by organisms to face environmental shifts, knowledge ofthe genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying those responses are still scarce. Theseresponses determine the survival of organisms under pressure of different environmentalstresses and the regular ecosystem behaviour. In order to disentangle the genetic networks thatmight regulate the adaptation mechanisms of these organisms in a changing environment, thecharacterization of the de novo transcriptome from Ulva lacinulata derived from a coastalecosystems of southern Spain under in situ cyclic conditions of emersion/immersion by usingNext Generation Sequencing technologies was carried out. Transcriptome sequencing andtranscript-level expression analysis were performed by Illumina®NextSeq® 550 systemplatform. A total of 100,251 unigenes were expressed during emersion/immersion process.Based on the differentially expressed genes (DEGs), genes associated with differentbiosynthetic metabolic pathways were annotated according to Gene Ontology and KyotoEncyclopedia of Genes and Genomes Orthology (KEGG). These findings shed light on themolecular mechanisms underlying rapid and successful ecophysiological response of marinemacroalgae in cyclic tidal conditions.
