Dissection of the regulatory function of HIF1α in hypoxic stress and identification of the favored haplotype for breeding applications in crayfish (Procambarus clarkii).

Abstract excerpt

The red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) is an economically important freshwater crustacean in China. However, the harvest of farmed crayfish is often reduced because of high mortality caused by hypoxic stress. In this study, three single nucleotide polymorphisms in the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α gene (HIF1α) were identified in the investigated crayfish germplasm populations, and these variants were...
