Genome-wide investigation of the dmrt gene family reveals new insight into the gonad development in Plectropomus leopardus: dmrt2a regulate the development of oocytes [PDF]

Biology of Sex Differences
Background Plectropomus leopardus is a hermaphrodite fish with a unique pattern of gonadal development. However, the molecular mechanism of sexual differentiation in this species remains unclear. The Doublesex and Mab-3 related transcription factor (dmrt)

The Mitochondrial Genome of the Imperiled Goliath Grouper <i>Epinephelus itajara</i>: Selective Pressures in Protein Coding Genes, Secondary Structure of tRNA Genes, and Phylogenetic Placement. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study presents the complete mitochondrial genome of the critically endangered Goliath Grouper (Epinephelus itajara), totaling 16,561 bp and comprising 13 protein‐coding genes, 22 tRNAs, and two rRNAs. Genomic analysis revealed conserved gene order, A + T‐rich codon usage, and purifying selection across all protein‐coding genes, providing valuable ...

Identification of Vibrio ponticus as a bacterial pathogen of coral trout Plectropomus leopardus. [PDF]

Front Cell Infect Microbiol, 2022
Vibrio ponticus is a vital pathogen with potential danger for aquaculture animals. Yet V. ponticus pathogenic to the coral trout Plectropomus leopardus is still unknown. In this study, a virulent bacterial strain, temporarily named DX2, was isolated from diseased coral trout suffering liver necrosis with cell vacuolar degeneration, and was identified ...

The Effect of Background Color on Skin Color Variation of Juvenile Plectropomus leopardus. [PDF]

Animals (Basel), 2022
Fish skin color is usually strongly affected by the background color of their environment. The study investigated the effects of five different background colors on the skin color of leopard coral groupers (Plectropomus leopardus). More than 450 juveniles were reared in Blue, Red, Black, White, and Transparent background tanks for 56 days. The paraffin

Demographic histories shape population genomics of the common coral grouper (Plectropomus leopardus). [PDF]

Evol Appl, 2022
AbstractMany coral reef fishes display remarkable genetic and phenotypic variation across their geographic ranges. Understanding how historical and contemporary processes have shaped these patterns remains a focal question in evolutionary biology since they reveal how diversity is generated and how it may respond to future environmental change.

Vasa Is a Potential Germ Cell Marker in Leopard Coral Grouper (Plectropomus leopardus). [PDF]

Genes (Basel), 2022
Vasa (Ddx4, DEAD box polypeptide 4), an extremely specific marker of germ cells in vivo, is an ATP-dependent RNA helicase that plays an essential role in germ cell development and gametogenesis. However, the expression and function information about this gene in groupers remains lacking.
