Phosphoproteomics changes due to allograft-induced stress responses of Pinctada fucata martensii

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part D: Genomics and Proteomics
Protein phosphorylation modifications are post-translational modifications (PTMs) that play important roles in signal transduction and immune regulation. Implanting a spherical nucleus into a recipient shellfish is critical in marine pearl aquaculture.

Fertility of cryopreserved spermatozoa of the Japanese pearl oyster, Pinctada fucata martensii

Aquaculture, 2008
Abstract The aims of this study were to compare the fertility of fresh and cryopreserved spermatozoa of the Japanese pearl oyster, Pinctada fucata martensii and to develop artificial fertilization methods using the cryopreserved spermatozoa. The optimal egg density for the fertilization test was found to be 1.0 × 10 5 eggs ml − 1 seawater. When 1.

Separation, identification and gene expression analysis of PmAMP-1 from Pinctada fucata martensii

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2019
Antibacterial peptides (AMPs) constitute an important part of the body's innate immune system and are responsible for a wide range of inhibitory effects against pathogens such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses. In this study, multi-step high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), combined with Mass Spectrometry (MS), was used to isolate and identify ...

Effect of maternal exposure to tributyltin on reproduction of the pearl oyster (Pinctada fucata martensii)

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2004
Abstract We examined the effect of tributyltin (TBT) on reproduction of the pearl oyster (Pinctada fucata martensii). In a maternal exposure test, five female pearl oysters were exposed to TBT at measured concentrations of 0 (control), 0.092, or 0.191 μg/L at 25°C for one week, and the embryo developmental success (the ratio of normal D ...

Adaptive response of pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii to low water temperature stress

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2018
The pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii is a warm-water shellfish that is sensitive to cold environments. To investigate its potential adaptation to low-temperature stress, the selected line (SL) and based population (BP) were sampled to undergo transcriptome sequence. Results of transcriptome analysis showed 572 significant differentially expressed

The physiological responses to titanium dioxide nanoparticles exposure in pearl oysters (Pinctada fucata martensii)

Marine Environmental Research
To evaluate the physiological responses to titanium dioxide nanoparticles exposure in pearl oysters (Pinctada fucata martensii), pearl oysters were exposed for 14 days to different levels (0.05, 0.5, and 5 mg/L) of nano-TiO2 suspensions, while a control group did not undergo any nano-TiO2 treatment.

Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses reveal sex-related differences in the gonads of Pinctada fucata martensii

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part D: Genomics and Proteomics
Pinctada fucata martensii is an economically important bivalve mollusk, as this species makes a major contribution to seawater pearl production. Pearl production efficiency varies between the sexes of P. f. martensii, but many aspects of the molecular mechanisms underlying sex determination and sex differentiation in P. f.

PmFREP1 exhibits antibacterial activity and bacterial agglutination in Pinctada fucata martensii

Pinctada fucata martensii is one of the principal shellfish species used for marine pearl cultivation in China and holds considerable economic value. However, increasing pollution in mariculture environments has heightened its susceptibility to pathogenic bacterial infections, causing large-scale mortality that severely limits sustainable aquaculture ...
