sRNA sequencing for Saccharina japonica under heat shock

As a temperate-cold species, Saccharina japonica often suffers heat stress when it is transplanted to temperate and subtropical zones. Study the heat stress response and resistance mechanism of Saccharina is of great significance for understanding the acclimation to heat stress under domestication as well as for breeding new cultivars with heat stress resistance. In this project, we aim to identify heat stress responsive miRNAs and analyzed their regulation during the heat stress response.
