Exploring HSP90 as a Biomarker for Marine Heatwaves in Pinctada maxima

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Many species, particularly marine organisms, are becoming more vulnerable to marine heatwaves due to climate change. Marine species anticipate perishing during marine heatwaves, but there is a growing interest in learning why some can resist.

Association between novel EST-SNPs and commercial traits in Pinctada fucata martensii

Aquaculture Reports, 2016
To facilitate marker-assisted selection for genetic improvement of the pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii, two novel single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers (A376C and A316C) were screened from two shell matrix genes (prismalin-14 and N19 gene),

Transcriptome analysis of growth heterosis in pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii. [PDF]

FEBS Open Bio, 2018
Heterosis improves growth and survival of shellfish species. Although breeders have widely exploited heterosis, its underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, a 2 × 2 complete diallel cross was facilitated between two full‐sib families to produce two inbred families (A and D) and their reciprocal hybrid families (B and C) of pearl ...

Genetic Control of Tissue Remodeling by a Non‐Coding SNP in ITGA8 Explains Carotenoid‐Based Color Polymorphism in Marine Mollusks

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 27, 13 May 2026.
In this study, the orange‐muscle giant abalone (Haliotis gigantea) is used as a model to identify a non‐coding SNP that disrupts the interaction between ITGA8 pre‐mRNA and the splicing factor ILF2, leading to altered ITGA8 splicing. These splicing changes promote carotenoid accumulation in abalone muscle through the regulation of tissue remodeling ...

Surfactants from the Japanese Pearl Oyster, Pinctada fucata

Journal of Japan Oil Chemists' Society, 2000
We screened the inner contents of Japanese pearl oyster Pinctada fucata for surfactants which may be commercially useful as cosmetic material. Total lipids extracted were separated into total neutral lipid, glycolipid and phospholipid fractions, and the total phospholipid fraction was further fractionated into five subfractions by silica gel column ...

Crustacean and Mollusc Shell Proteins: Origin, Structure, and Functionality

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Crustacean and molluscan processing as seafood generates a significant amount of shell waste annually, owing to the dense, mineral‐rich composition of the exoskeleton. Although valorization efforts have mostly focused on chitin and chitosan, the protein fraction remains underutilized despite its prominent nutritional, functional, and sensory ...

Functional Analyses of MMP Genes in the Ligament of Pinctada fucata [PDF]

, 2018
The bivalve hinge ligament is the hard tissue that functions to open and close shells. The ligament contains fibrous structures consisting of aragonite crystals surrounded by a dense organic matrix. This organic matrix may contribute to the formation of fibrous aragonite crystals, but the mechanism underlying this formation remains unclear.

Methods for Improving Settlement and Metamorphosis of Shelled Marine Mollusks in Aquaculture: A Review

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
Settlement and metamorphosis are key developmental hurdles in marine mollusk aquaculture. Environmental signals (such as biofilms, algae, and signals from conspecifics) and biochemical pathways (including nitric oxide, thyroid hormones, catecholamines, and GABA) regulate the transition of larvae into benthic juveniles. Combining ecological observations
