RNA-seq analysis to identify genes related to resting egg production of panarctic Daphnia pulex.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The genus Daphnia switches its reproductive mode from subitaneous egg production to resting egg production in response to environmental stimuli. Although this life history trait is essential for surviving unsuitable environments, the molecular mechanism of resting egg production is little understood. In this study, we examined genes related to induction of resting egg production using two genotypes of panarctic Daphnia pulex, the JPN1 and JPN2 lineages, which differ genetically in the frequency of resting egg production. We reared these genotypes under high and low food levels. At the high food level, individuals of both genotypes continually produced subitaneous eggs, whereas at the low food level, only the JPN2 genotype produced resting eggs. Then, we performed RNA-seq
