[Coral-List] Asia Pacific Coral Reef Symposium 2023 session "Cellular and molecular processes involved in adaptation and mitigation to environmental stressors in Indo-Pacific coral reef organisms"

[Davide Seveso]

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to inform you that the abstract submission in the session entitled “Cellular and molecular processes involved in adaptation and mitigation to environmental stressors in Indo-Pacific coral reef organisms” of the the 5th Asia Pacific Coral Reef Symposium is now open! 
The 5th APCRS will be held in Singapore, on June 19–23, 2023 (https://www.apcrs2023.org/) 
Here, you can find the page of Themes and Sessions (https://www.apcrs2023.org/themes-sessions.html) 

Session Description:
Coral reefs supply a wide range of ecosystem services, but, at the same time, they are increasingly affected by the climate change and related factors, which are leading to an increase in coral bleaching events and extensive degradation worldwide. In an ecosystem subjected to multiple biotic and abiotic stressors, such as thermal stresses, pollution, diseases and anthropogenic pressures, it is imperative to better elucidate the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in the tolerance and acclimation to environmental changes. Corals and other benthic organisms have developed diverse mechanisms to withstand environmental stressors, such as physiological compensations, cellular acclimatory pathways and molecular mechanisms for tolerance. In particular, since the earliest steps of an organism’s response to any environmental stress occur at the cellular level, useful diagnostic tools to assess the health status are molecular and cellular stress biomarkers, such as proteins, genes, enzymes, cellular pathways, metabolites, that reflect changes in the cellular structural integrity and in the cellular functional performance. This session host studies focused on the cellular and molecular processes involved in the stress response and adaptation to short or long-term biotic and abiotic stresses in corals and other coral reef-related benthic organisms. Works on omics or other cellular and physiological protection mechanisms concerning mitigation strategies, performed both in the field or in controlled aquaria systems are welcomed.
