Changes in gene expression in gills of the euryhaline killifish Fundulus heteroclitus after abrupt salinity transfer
Abstract
Maintenance of ion balance requires that ionoregulatory epithelia modulate ion flux in response to internal or environmental osmotic challenges. We have explored the basis of this functional plasticity in the gills of the euryhaline killifish Fundulus heteroclitus. The expression patterns of several genes encoding ion transport proteins were quantified after transfer from near-isosmotic brackish water [10 parts/thousand (ppt)] to either …
