The Impacts of Ex Situ Transplantation on the Physiology of the Taiwanese Reef-Building Coral Seriatopora hystrix

Table 1

Expression of Symbiodinium ribulose,1-5,bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase large subunit (rbcL), photosystem I (psI, subunit III), phosphoglycolate phosphatase (pgpase), and ascorbate peroxidase (apx1) was measured in samples from either Houbihu (an upwelling reef) or Houwan (a nonupwelling reef) exposed to either a variable or stable temperature regime for seven days.
