Article Synopsis
- * Analysis of gene structure and evolutionary relationships shows that these MKK genes are highly conserved among bivalves and are significantly expressed in tissues related to immunity.
- * The findings indicate that these CnMKK genes respond strongly to temperature stress and Vibrio parahaemolyticus infection, highlighting their importance in bivalve immunity against biotic and abiotic challenges.

Article Synopsis
- Gap junctions, essential for cell signaling and immune responses, are formed by connexins in vertebrates and innexins in invertebrates; this study focused on identifying GJ genes in the noble scallop Chlamys nobilis.
- The research found 14 GJ genes in C. nobilis, revealing that these proteins are primarily hydrophilic and closely related to invertebrate proteins, with 10 conserved motifs similar to those in other bivalves.
- Furthermore, expression analysis indicated that GJ genes are significantly affected by low temperature stress, highlighting their important role in the scallop's adaptation to environmental changes.
Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of Dmrt gene family and their role in gonad development of Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas).

Doublesex and Mab-3-related transcription factor (Dmrt) is a type of transcription factor with a zinc-finger DM structural domain, which plays a significant role in sex determination and differentiation in animals. Although Dmrt has been reported in many vertebrates and invertebrates, it has rarely been studied in bivalves. In this study, a total of three members of the Dmrt gene family were identified and characterized in Crassostrea gigas, and all these CgDmrt genes contained a conserved DM domain.

To ascertain how dietary vitamin D3 (VD3) levels affect the features of pearl production by and discover the mechanisms regulating this occurrence, five experimental diets with variable levels of VD3 were used with inclusion levels of 0, 500, 1,000, 3,000, and 10,000 IU/kg. The distinct inclusion levels were distributed into five experimental groups (EG1, EG2, EG3, EG4, and EG5).
