Research Abstract |
We examined effects of light environment on the rhythm of diurnal vertical migration in a harmful red-tide flagellate Chattonella antiqua. As a result, it was found that irradiation of weak UV-A/blue light (?0.03umol m^<-2>s^<-1>,360-480 nm) during the dark periodchangesthe rhythm of diurnal vertical migration. Furthermore, by total mRNA-seqof C. antiquacells collected in the dark period, homologous sequences of blue light receptors such as cryptochrome and aureochrome were found. In the near future, we will analyze contributions of these blue light receptorsto the light-induced phase shiftof diurnal vertical migration.
