The doublesex and mab-3 related transcription factor (DMRT) gene family involvement in sex development is widely conserved from invertebrates to humans. In this study, we identified a DM (Doublesex/Mab-3)-domain Macrobrachium nipponense, which named MniDMRT11E because it has many similarities phylogenetically close relationships with the arthropod DMRT11E. Amino acid alignments structural prediction uncovered conservation putative active sites of domain. Real-time PCR analysis showed that...

In the present study, different concentrations of MT were added as dietary supplementation, effects on ratio, growth, gonadal development examined. After 40 days, ratio (male:female) each group increased at degrees with 50 (1.36:1), 100 (1.57:1), 200 (2.61:1) mg/kg MT, neo-males testis–ovary coexistence observed group.

Male oriental river prawns (Macrobrachium nipponense) grow faster than females, and therefore, reach larger sizes by harvest time. Histological observations have indicated that the sex-differentiation sensitive period (which includes formation of androgenic gland, testis, ovary) is from post-larvae (PL) developmental stage for M. nipponense. In this study, we prepared four microRNA (miRNA) mRNA libraries using samples collected (PL7 to PL16) perform RNA-sequencing identifying sex-related...
