    Description

    This study aimed to identify the insulin-like androgenic gland factor (IAG) in adult male Jonah crabs as it plays an essential role in sexual maturity. The study also aimed to examine if seasonal changes influence IAG expression in males. The study used the androgenic gland transcriptome to test if eyestalk neuropeptides regulate IAG levels via an endocrine axis between the two endocrine tissues as...

    Description

    This study aimed to understand the role of eyestalk neuropeptides in vitellogenesis. Molt-inhibiting hormone (MIH) and crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH) cDNA sequences were first isolated from the eyestalk ganglia of C. quinquedens using traditional cloning methods and their expression was quantified in the eyestalk ganglia at various ovarian stages. De novo transcriptome assembly of the eyestalk...
