The expanded inhibitor of apoptosis gene family in oysters possesses novel domain architectures and may play diverse roles in apoptosis following immune challenge

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background Apoptosis plays important roles in a variety of functions, including immunity and response to environmental stress. The Inhibitor of Apoptosis (IAP) gene family of apoptosis regulators is expanded in molluscs, including eastern, Crassostrea ...

Selective ingestion and egestion of plastic particles by the blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) and eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica): implications for using bivalves as bioindicators of microplastic pollution.

Environmental Science and Technology, 2019
Microplastics (MP; 1 µm-1 mm) of various shapes and compositions are ingested by numerous marine animals. Recently, proposals have been made to adopt bivalve molluscs as bioindicators of MP pollution.

Chromosomes of the experimental hybrid of Crussostrea virginica Gmelin 1791 and Crussostreu rhizophorue Guilding 1828 (Pseudolamellibranchiata: Ostreidae)

Ciencias Marinas, 1998
The cytogenetic study of the interspecific larval hybrid of Crassostrau virginica and Crassostrea rhizophorae has been conducted. The chromosome complements in all the types of hybrids assayed were integrated in a normal way to form the zygote and the ...

Ocean acidification induces subtle shifts in gene expression and DNA methylation in mantle tissue of the Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica)

bioRxiv, 2020
Early evidence suggests that DNA methylation can mediate phenotypic responses of marine calcifying species to ocean acidification (OA). Few studies, however, have explicitly studied DNA methylation in calcifying tissues through time.

Comparing larval microbiomes of the eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) raised in different hatcheries

, 2021
An ongoing goal of the aquaculture industry is the improvement of oyster larval growth and production. One component of oyster hatcheries that may contribute to the health of oyster larvae is the early establishment and subsequent development of the ...

Dilution of seawater affects the Ca2 + transport in the outer mantle epithelium of crassostrea gigas [PDF]

, 2020
Varying salinities of coastal waters are likely to affect the physiology and ion transport capabilities of calcifying marine organisms such as bivalves.

Heritability of acute low salinity survival in the Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica)

, 2020
On the US east coast, Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) aquaculture has grown substantially over the last century. As aquaculture expands into previously unexploited areas, there is a need for oyster lines bred for specific environmental conditions.

General DNA methylation patterns and environmentally-induced differential methylation in the eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica)

bioRxiv, 2020
Epigenetic modification, specifically DNA methylation, is one possible mechanism for intergenerational plasticity. Before inheritance of methylation patterns can be characterized, we need a better understanding of how environmental change modifies the ...

Oysters for the Future: Proper Oyster Culling Techniques Matter

EDIS, 2017
The eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) provides many important functions in coastal environments, from serving a crucial role in the estuary’s food web to improving water quality for beachgoers and wildlife.
