Genome-wide identification and characterization of superoxide dismutases in four oyster species reveals functional differentiation in response to biotic and abiotic stress

Abstract Background Oysters inhabit in the intertidal zone and may be suffered from environmental stresses, which can increase the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), resulting in mass mortality. Superoxide dismutases (SODs) protect oysters from ROS damage through different mechanisms compa...
