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.

Hybrid sterility in hermaphroditic Argopecten scallops: Mutated mitochondrial genes and abnormal expression of nuclear genes

Aquaculture Reports, 2023
Bay scallops (Argopecten irradians) are a commercially important bivalve species for fisheries and aquaculture in China, the USA, Peru and Chile, but their small size and serious inbreeding depression restrict the sustainable development of their ...

Molecular characteristics of IGF and IGF1R genes and their potential roles on longevity in two scallops with distinct lifespans

Aquaculture Reports, 2023
Bay scallops are commercially important bivalve species for aquaculture worldwide, but the serious inbreeding depression is decreasing their production. Some interspecific hybrids of bay scallops (Argopecten irradians irradians) and Peruvian scallops (A.

Extensive Fouling of Eelgrass (<i>Zostera marina</i> L.) Reproductive Shoots by Invasive Tunicates-A Potential Threat to Meadow Reproductive Output? [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Here, we document through field observations and photographs, the extensive fouling of seed‐bearing Z. marina reproductive shoots by invasive tunicates in a Cape Cod meadow during late spring/early summer 2025. Such fouling may block seed release and/or inhibit dispersal which may reduce meadow reproductive success.

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.

Genomic in situ hybridization identifies parental chromosomes in hybrid scallop (Bivalvia, Pectinoida, Pectinidae) between female Chlamys farreri and male Argopecten irradians irradians

Comparative Cytogenetics, 2015
Interspecific crossing was artificially carried out between Chlamys farreri (Jones & Preston, 1904) ♀ and Argopecten irradians irradians (Lamarck, 1819) ♂, two of the dominant cultivated scallop species in China.

Potential roles of MEK1 on aging in Argopecten scallops

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Dual specificity mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1 (MEK1) has been found to regulate aging through the Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK cascade in terrestrial animals. However, few reports have focused on MEK1 promoting aging in marine bivalves. In this study, we

Effects of harvesting methods on sustainability of a bay scallop fishery: dredging uproots seagrass and displaces recruits [PDF]

, 2005
Fishing is widely recognized to have profound effects on estuarine and marine ecosystems (Hammer and Jansson, 1993; Dayton et al., 1995). Intense commercial and recreational harvest of valuable species can result in population collapses of target and ...

A Genome-Wide Association Study Identifies Candidate Genes Associated With Shell Color in Bay Scallop Argopecten irradians irradians

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Molluscan shell color has consistently drawn attention for its abundant diversity and commercial use in shellfish breeding projects. Recently, two new strains of bay scallop (Argopecten irradians irradians) with different shell colors as marked ...
