The Molecular Basis of Growth Control in Guanine Crystals. [PDF]

Small
Precise control over guanine crystal morphology is achieved through biologically inspired, facet‐selective interactions. Simple synthetic polymers tune growth from prisms to needles and plate‐like biogenic forms by modulating multivalency, polarity, and functional‐group identity.

Panoramic spatial vision in the bay scallop Argopecten irradians. [PDF]

Proc Biol Sci, 2021
We have a growing understanding of the light-sensing organs and light-influenced behaviours of animals with distributed visual systems, but we have yet to learn how these animals convert visual input into behavioural output. It has been suggested they consolidate visual information early in their sensory-motor pathways, resulting ...

Physiological Effects of Suspended Solids on Venerupis philippinarum and Argopecten irradians

Fishes
Suspended solids are small particles transported in the water column, which can damage marine ecosystems and impair the health of aquatic organisms. This study evaluated the physiological responses of clams (Venerupis philippinarum) and Atlantic Bay ...

Efficient induction of autotriploid bay scallop Argopecten irradians irradians with growth advantages in larvae and adults

Aquaculture Reports
Polyploid breeding is an effective tool for genetic improvement in aquatic species, contributing significantly to the aquaculture industry. However, the efficient polyploid induction methods have been lacking for the bay scallop (Argopecten irradians ...

A consensus microsatellite-based linkage map for the hermaphroditic bay scallop (Argopecten irradians) and its application in size-related QTL analysis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Bay scallop (Argopecten irradians) is one of the most economically important aquaculture species in China. In this study, we constructed a consensus microsatellite-based genetic linkage map with a mapping panel containing two hybrid backcross-like ...

A novel fibrinogen-related protein with two coiled-coil regions from Chlamys farreri functions as immune recognition molecule [PDF]

Comparative Immunology Reports
Fibrinogen-related proteins (FREPs) have been reported to exhibit extensive expansion with remarkable structural diversity in invertebrate genomes, particularly in mollusks, which execute multifaceted functions ranging from non-self recognition to clot ...

Draft genomes of two Atlantic bay scallop subspecies Argopecten irradians irradians and A. i. concentricus. [PDF]

Sci Data, 2020
AbstractThe two subspecies of Atlantic bay scallop (Argopecten irradians), A. i. irradians and A. i. concentricus, are economically important aquacultural species in northern and southern China. Here, we performed the whole-genome sequencing, assembly, and gene annotation and produced draft genomes for both subspecies.

Effects of elevated temperature and carbon dioxide on the growth and survival of larvae and juveniles of three species of northwest Atlantic bivalves. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Rising CO(2) concentrations and water temperatures this century are likely to have transformative effects on many coastal marine organisms. Here, we compared the responses of two life history stages (larval, juvenile) of three species of calcifying ...

Microstructure and mechanical properties of Argopecten irradians [PDF]

Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Mechatronics, Materials, Chemistry and Computer Engineering 2015, 2015
This paper investigated the microstructure and composition of Argopecten irradians through X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and energy spectrometer (EDS), and measured the hardness and tribological properties of Argopecten irradians using nanoindentation and friction wear testing machine.

Potential Roles of PTEN on Longevity in Two Closely Related Argopecten Scallops With Distinct Lifespans

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN) has been found to regulate longevity through the PI3K/Akt/FoxO pathway and maintenance of genome integrity in worms, flies, and mammals.
