Identifying genes associated with genetic control of color polymorphism in the pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera var. cumingii (Linnaeus 1758) using a comparative whole genome pool‐sequencing approach

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 16, Issue 2, Page 408-427, February 2023., 2023
Abstract For hundreds of years, the color diversity of Mollusca shells has been a topic of interest for humanity. However, the genetic control underlying color expression is still poorly understood in mollusks. The pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera is increasingly becoming a biological model to study this process due to its ability to produce a large

Transcriptome Sequencing Reveals the Response to Acute Thermal Stress in the Pacific Abalone, Haliotis discus hannai

Aquaculture Research, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
The Pacific abalone is an economically important cold‐water shellfish. With its widespread culture, high temperature has become a key abiotic factor for the high mortality of Pacific abalone in summer, particularly in the south of China. To understand the molecular regulatory mechanisms of thermal stress response in Pacific abalone for further ...

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.

Chromosomal assembly of the flat oyster (Ostrea edulis L.) genome as a new genetic resource for aquaculture

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 15, Issue 11, Page 1730-1748, November 2022., 2022
Abstract The European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis L.) is a native bivalve of the European coasts. Harvest of this species has declined during the last decades because of the appearance of two parasites that have led to the collapse of the stocks and the loss of the natural oyster beds. O.

Insights from tyrosinase into the impacts of modified morphology of calcium carbonate on the nacre formation of pearl oysters

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Tyrosinase is a type-3 copper protein with six conserved histidine residues within the copper-binding sites. It participates in mollusk nacre formation.

A StAR‐like gene involved in carotenoid metabolism and inner shell color in the freshwater pearl mussel, Hyriopsis cumingii

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 53, Issue 4, Page 848-859, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Carotenoids play key roles in organism coloration and have been found to have an effect on shell color. Steroidogenic acute regulatory protein‐like (StAR‐like) is a key gene involved in the accumulation of carotenoids. In this study, the full‐length cDNA sequence of HcStAR‐like, containing 994 nucleotides with an open reading frame encoding ...

Byssal re‐attachment behavior in the winged pearl oyster Pteria penguin in response to low salinity levels

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 52, Issue 2, Page 457-465, April 2021., 2021
Abstract The effect of low salinity levels on byssal re‐attachment behavior in Pteria penguin juveniles was observed in the laboratory. Juvenile pearl oysters were submerged in seawater blended to 8.0, 12.0, 16.0, 20.0, 24.0, 28.0, and 32.0 salinity levels for a period of 48 hr. The sub‐lethal salinity level was greater than 20.0 psu. Although salinity

Long non-coding RNA LncMPEG1 responds to multiple environmental stressors by affecting biomineralization in pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Marine environmental change directly affects bivalve growth and survival. Exoskeleton formation, the main energy dissipation in the physiological metabolism, typically reflects the body growth of the bivalve.

Comparison in Growth, Feeding, and Metabolism Between a Fast-Growing Selective Strain and a Cultured Population of Pearl Oyster (Pinctada fucata martensii)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Pearl oyster (Pinctada fucata martensii) is the main species cultured for marine pearls in the world. A breeding program was carried out for desirable production traits, including high growth rate, and a fast-growing selective strain of pearl oysters was
