Genotype-Temperature Interaction in the Regulation of Development Growth and Morphometrics in Wild-Type and Growth-Hormone Transgenic Coho Salmon

摘要

BackgroundThe neuroendocrine system is an important modulator of phenotype, directing cellular genetic responses to external cues such as temperature. Behavioural and physiological processes in poikilothermic organisms (e.g. most fishes), are particularly influenced by surrounding temperatures.
