We cloned and analysed the expression of a SoxB gene ( PvuSoxB) in the marine mollusc, Patella vulgata. Like its orthologues in deuterostomes, after an early broad ectodermal distribution, PvuSoxB expression only persists in cells competent to form neural structures. In the post-gastrulation larva, PvuSoxB is expressed in the prospective neuroectoderm in the head and in the trunk. No expression can be seen dorsally, around the mouth and the anus, or along the ventral midline. We also report the expression of a Wnt2/13 orthologue ( PvuWnt2) in Patella. After gastrulation, PvuWnt2 is expressed in the posterior part of the mouth, along the ventral midline and around the anus. This expression seems to be complementary to that of PvuSoxB in the trunk. We suggest the existence of a fundamental subdivision of the Patella trunk ectoderm into midline (mouth, midline, anus) and more lateral structures.

Understanding the effect of O on the accumulation characteristics of NO-N and S in the sulfur autotrophic denitrification (DSSADN) system is crucial for enhancing the denitrification efficiency of partial nitrification-anammox using DSSADN. The results revealed that in an environment without O entry, the NO-N accumulation efficiency (NiAE) and S accumulation efficiency (SAE) of the DSSADN system reached 89.40 % and 93.

Article Synopsis
- The SoxB family of genes is important for how animals work, but scientists don't know much about them in planarians, which are flatworms that can regenerate.
- This study looks at how specific SoxB genes (DjSoxB1, DjSoxB2, and DjSoxB3) help planarians grow back body parts after injury.
- It finds that when these genes are silenced, planarians grow slower and have trouble moving, showing that these genes are crucial for cell growth and normal nerve function during regeneration.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the role of SoxB transcription factors in the neurogenesis of gastropods, focusing on their expression patterns from gastrula to hatching.
- The researchers used various techniques to analyze the spatial and temporal expression of these factors and observed differences in their presence between developmental stages.
- The findings suggest that prolonged expression of SoxB genes may enhance neurogenesis in gastropods, potentially influencing the diversity of their nervous systems.

SOX9 plays a crucial role in the male reproductive system, brain, and kidneys. In this study, we firstly analyzed the complete cDNA sequence and expression patterns for SOX9 from SOX9 (gjSOX9), carried out bioinformatic analyses of physiochemical properties, structure, and phylogenetic evolution, and compared these with other members of the gjSOX family. The results indicate that gjSOX9 cDNA comprises 1895 bp with a 1482 bp ORF encoding 494aa.
