LncRNA-Mediated Tissue-Specific Plastic Responses to Salinity Changes in Oysters.

ABSTRACT: Salinity is a key environmental factor influencing the survival of aquatic organisms, and transcriptional plasticity is a crucial emergency response to environmental changes. However, most transcriptomic studies on salinity responses have not explored the expression patterns and regulatory mechanisms across different tissues. The Suminoe oyster (Crassostrea ariakensis), a sessile estuarine species that inhabits fluctuating salinity environments, provides an excellent model for studying the molecular basis of salinity response divergence. All eight tissues responded to acute salinity stresses and exhibited distinct tissue-specific expression patterns in both mRNA and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) profiles across three salinity conditions. The hepatopancreas and striated muscle were id
