| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
My findings in FY2018 and FY2019 were compiled into two manuscripts, entitled “Signaling Pathways in the Coral Polyp Bail-out Response” and “Morphological and Genetic Recovery of Coral Polyps After Bail-out”. In FY2020, these two manuscripts were officially accepted by the journals Coral Reefs and Frontiers in Marine Science, respectively. Meanwhile, I analyzed the RNAseq data collected in FY2019. Significant genetic differences were identified between solitary polyps and intact coral colonies. A manuscript entitled “Genetic changes involving the coral gastrovascular system and activin signaling system support the transition from solitary polyps to colonial corals: Evidence from a Pocillopora acuta transcriptome” was prepared and was submitted to the journal BMC Genomics in April 2021.
