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 ...

The role of a new insulin-like peptide in the pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 AbstractPinctada fucata martensii, is an economically important marine bivalve species cultured for seawater pearls. At present, we know little about the molecular mechanisms of the insulin signalling pathway in this oyster. Herein, we cloned and analysed an insulin-like peptide (PfILP) and its signalling pathway-related genes.
