The red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii is a highly adaptable, tolerant, and fecund freshwater that inhabits wide range of aquatic environments. It an important crustacean model organism used in many research fields, including animal behavior, environmental stress toxicity, studies viral infection. Despite its widespread use, knowledge the genome very limited insufficient for meaningful research. This use next-generation sequencing techniques to analyze transcriptome. A total 324.97...
The order Acipenseriformes, which includes sturgeons and paddlefishes, represents "living fossils" with complex genomes that are good models for understanding whole-genome duplication (WGD) ploidy evolution in fishes. Here, we sequenced assembled the first high-quality chromosome-level genome octoploid Acipenser sinensis (Chinese sturgeon), a critically endangered species also poorly understood group Acipenseriformes. Our results show A. is autooctoploid containing four kinds of octovalents...
A novel Eriocheir sinensis reovirus (EsRV) was identified using deep-sequencing techniques in crabs afflicted with trembling disease (TD). Near-full-length genome sequences of 12 segments EsRV were obtained. The will facilitate further studies on the causative agent TD.
The sox family is assumed to be responsible for a number of developmental systems. Genome sequencing technology makes it possible scan genes and conduct characteristic analyses different species. In fish, full characterisation at the genome-wide level has been reported pufferfish Takifugu rubripes, medaka Oryzias latipes, tilapia Oreochromis niloticus channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus. However, no systematic investigation in sturgeons (Acipenseridae) date. This study conducted...
Abstract Chinese sturgeon Dmrt gene family was identified and characterized for the first time. A total of 5 putative genes were identified. The structure, conserved protein domain phylogenetic relationship systematically analyzed. expressed profile in gonad, pituitary hypothalamus male female investigated. results indicated that accumulation involved different tissues, expression also differed among each genes. ASDmrt1A, ASDmrt2, ASDmrt3, ASDmrtA1 highly testis comparison with other tissue....
Introduction Our understanding of the regulatory mechanisms that govern development sexual characteristics in sturgeon, particularly Chinese sturgeon (Acipenser sinensis), is limited. Foxl2, a member forkhead/HNF-3-related transcription factor family, known for its role precise gene regulation within specific tissues and control over ovarian aromatase, key enzyme maturation. This study aimed to investigate sexually dimorphic expression foxl2 during molecular morphological sex differentiation...
Abstract The ecdysone receptor ( EcR ), a member of the nuclear superfamily, plays an important role in molting crustaceans and insects. Here, we report cloning full‐length cDNA gene from Eriocheir sinensis EsEcR ). A 477 bp alternatively spliced intron was identified, with two splice variants. One, ‐L , is 2522 long encodes 577 amino acid protein. second, ‐S 2045 422 Among eight different tissues, expression highest hepatopancreas lowest heart. expressed during embryonal developmental...
Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) is one of the most common soybean viruses and can cause economic losses. The objective this research was to determine inheritance resistance SMV‐G1 1n four [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivars from China. Each cultivar crossed susceptible Williams lines with known sources genes test for allelism. crosses were evaluated in F2 F3 generations field greenhouse reaction inoculation SMV‐G1. Results showed that each Chinese has a single dominant gene carried by ‘Feng shou...
Abstract The sterlet ( Acipenser ruthenus ) is one of the 27 sturgeon species and well-known for its wide distribution small body size in comparison to other sturgeons. For assessing population genetics parentage identification sterlet, ten microsatellites developed Chinese cross-amplified were tested by 40 individuals sterlet. using transcriptome sequencing sturgeon. expected heterozygosity H E ), observed O Shannon-Weiner diversity indices H′ polymorphic information content PIC 10 ranged...
Abstract In this study, the effects of different feeding frequencies on growth and expression genes in GH/IGF axis were assessed juvenile Chinese sturgeon. The newly hatched sturgeons bred for 38 days at three groups (feeding frequency two times a day, TWD; THD; four FOD), levels responses to determined by quantitative real-time PCR. addition, full-length Coding Sequences IGF I II (489-bp 660-bp, respectively), cloned analyzed from sturgeon first time. Multiple sequence alignments IGFs...
Abstract Chinese sturgeon ( Acipenser sinensis ) has been listed as a critically endangered species on the IUCN Red List and is an endemic fish of China. Five sets duplex polymerase chain reactions (PCR) assays were developed with 10 tetranucleotide microsatellites for sturgeon. The size CS57, ZHX43, ZHX69, AS105, ZHX51, AS074, ZHX2, AS078, AS026 AS073 products in 184 individuals ranged from 257–305, 191–241, 251–285, 172–244, 236–260, 169–209, 194–234, 92–176, 165–257 120–164, respectively....
The supply of a balanced portion nutrition is vital for the success restocking program Yangtze sturgeon, an endangered sturgeon in River, however, knowledge nutritional requirement this species scarce. present study was performed to investigate optimum dietary lipid juveniles (initial weight, 184.24 ± 6.79 g). Five isonitrogenous diets containing mixture fish oil and soybean (1:1 ratio) at five different levels (35, 63, 90, 124 168 g/kg) were prepared each prescribed diet hand-fed triplicate...
The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the hybrid Huso dauricus (♀) × Acipenser schrenckii (♂) is described in this study. 16,693bp long circular molecule consisted 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA 22 tRNA and a control region, showed typical vertebrate pattern. All genes were encoded on heavy strain except for ND6 eight genes. Base composition was A(30.40%), T(24.19%), C(29.26%), G(16.16%), with A + T bias 54.59%. Comparing its parents, sturgeon consistent maternal inheritance....
Elongases of very-long-chain fatty acids (Elovls) are critical rate-limiting enzymes that involved in LC-PUFA biosynthesis through catalyzing the two-carbon elongation a pre-existing acyl chain. Thus far, several Elovls have been extensively studied teleost. However, functional and physiological roles chondrichthyans rarely reported. In this study, we identified characterized
