Article Synopsis
- The early stages of marine bivalve development are crucial for larvae transitioning to mature adults, involving specific gene expressions under selective pressure.
- The study focuses on the larval development of Pinctada margaritifera using RNA-sequencing to track gene expression across four stages: d-shape, Veliger, Umbo, and Eye-spot.
- Key findings highlight that metabolic functions increase during early development stages, while morphogenesis is influenced by thyroid hormones and Wnt signaling, indicating complex molecular mechanisms driving larval growth and adaptations.
