Comparative profiling of hepatopancreas transcriptomes in satiated and starving Pomacea canaliculata.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although Pomacea canaliculata is native to South and Central America, it has become one of the most abundant invasive species worldwide and causes extensive damage to agriculture and horticulture. Conventional physical and chemical techniques have been used to eliminate P. canaliculata, but the effects are not ideal. Therefore, it is important to devise a new method based on a greater understanding of the biology of P. canaliculata. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying digestion and absorption in P. canaliculata are not well understood due to the lack of available genomic information for this species, particularly for digestive enzyme genes.

Results

In the present study, hepatopancreas transcriptome sequencing produced over 223 million high-quality reads,
