miRNA reveals the mechanism of pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) under acute alkalinity stress

We detected several genes and miRNAs that were identified as candidate regulators of alkalinity stress, and key genes of alkaline stress-related expression patterns in pacific white shrimp. Among these genes, the expression levels of most key genes of alkaline stress-related enriched in ion regulation, digestion and immunity increased, and the expression levels of genes enriched in metabolism were down-regulated.
