Oreochromis niloticus metagenome
This study focuses on the transcriptomic responses of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) to saline-alkaline stress. High-throughput RNA sequencing was performed on gill and liver tissues, which are core organs for osmoregulation, metabolism, and innate immunity. The aim is to identify key genes and signaling pathways involved in saline-alkaline adaptation, providing critical molecular resources for understanding stress tolerance mechanisms and facilitating genetic improvement of tilapia under extreme environmental conditions.
