Abstract:Sex-determining mechanism is still ambiguous for sea cucumber Holothuria scabra which only manifests gonochorism in gonad. In this study, proteomic analysis was employed to delineate sex-related proteins and genes in gonads of H. scabra, subsequently validated through Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). A total of 5,313 proteins were identified via proteome sequencing. Among these, 817 proteins exhibited expression in both the ovary and testis, with 445 proteins displaying up-regulation… Show more
