Transcriptome Analysis of The Whole Body Provides Novel Insights Into The Molecular Mechanisms of Growth, Immunity, and Metabolism During The Molting Cycle of The Juvenile Mud Crab Scylla Paramamosain
Abstract:Background: Molting is an inherent cyclic process that occurs in all crustaceans and is essential for growth, metamorphosis, and reproduction. Recent studies have shown that many organs and systems are involved in molting regulation, including the hepatopancreas, the immune system, and production of ecdysteroids by Y-organs. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the dynamic process of crab molting remain poorly understood at the whole-individual level. Therefore, we investigated global expression change… Show more
