Abstract
A total of 335 protein spots were identified in the ovarian development of the giant tiger shrimp.
- 183 protein spots were examined from vitellogenic (stage II) ovaries, with 75 (40.98%) matching known proteins.
- 152 protein spots were analyzed from mature (stage IV) ovaries, with 59 (38.82%) matching known proteins.
- In eyestalk-ablated broodstock, 270 protein spots were characterized, with 167 and 103 spots from respective ovarian stages.
- Among these, 95 (56.89%) and 62 (60.19%) spots matched known proteins in the respective stages.
- The protein disulfide isomerase A6 (PmPDIA6) was identified as being up-regulated in stage III ovaries of intact shrimp.
- Eyestalk ablation resulted in lower expression levels of PmPDIA6 across all ovarian development stages compared to intact broodstock.
