Crassostrea hongkongensis (Hong Kong oyster), a commercially valuable bivalve thriving in the estuaries along northern coast of South China Sea, is threatened by increase salinity during dry season. It essential to improve its hyper-salinity tolerance, which requires clear understanding mechanism regulate osmotic balance. For this purpose, 25 free amino acids (FAA), most critical intracellular osmolyte bivalves, were quantified gill, adductor muscle, and hemolymph C. abrupt changes (18–6,...
Taurine has been reported high amounts in marine animals to maintain osmotic balance between osmoformers and sea water. Approximately 80% of the total amino-acid content is taurine Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas, an intertidal euryhaline species. In this study, we cloned two copies cysteine sulfinate decarboxylase (CSAD), key enzyme biosynthesis pathway, screened genome data. Sequentially, compared expression patterns CgCSAD1 CgCSAD2 under low salinity treatment (8‰ 15‰) using different...
Abstract The diverse modes of sexual reproduction in Bivalvia make it an excellent clade to understand the evolution sex and determination. cosmopolitan Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas is ideal model for bivalve determination studies because its complicated sexuality, including dioecy, change rare hermaphroditism. A major barrier C. study has been lack information on type To identify sex-determining system, observation by following same individual two consecutive years was conducted 760...
The estuarine Crassostrea hongkongensis is the major cultured oyster species in South China, and mass mortality induced by hyper-salinity has heavily damaged farming, especially during dry season. To benefit genetic improvement of tolerance, three genes related to intracellular concentration glycine (Gly) that functions as important osmolyte were identified investigated C. hongkongensis. Serine hydroxymethyltransferase 1 (CHSHMT1) was found be upregulated gill since 48 h transferred from 18‰...
The innate immunity of marine bivalves is challenged upon exposure to heat stress, especially with increases in the frequency and intensity waves. TLR4 serves a classical pattern recognition receptor recognizing pathogenic microorganisms activating immune responses. In this study, three genes, HMTLR4, HMMyD88 HMTRAF6, were characterized as homologs genes TLR4-MyD88 signaling pathway selected scallop strain “Hongmo No. 1”. According RT-PCR, acute stress (32 °C) inhibited pathway, LPS...
