Cloning and functional characterization of PmΔ5FAD in pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii
Aquaculture Reports, 2022 Pinctada fucata martensii produces high-quality pearls. However, excess immune and inflammatory response after grafting operation will lead to nucleus rejection, pearl sac formation failure, and death of the host pearl oyster. Polyunsaturated fatty acids

Deep sequencing of ESTs from nacreous and prismatic layer producing tissues and a screen for novel shell formation-related genes in the pearl oyster. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: Despite its economic importance, we have a limited understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying shell formation in pearl oysters, wherein the calcium carbonate crystals, nacre and prism, are formed in a highly controlled manner.
