Genes and biological pathways linked to reproduction in black tiger shrimp

Circadian Biology Weekly Brief ↗PubMed ↗DOI ↗

Abstract

Transcriptome analysis revealed 41,136 transcripts related to reproductive maturation in black tiger shrimp.

  • The study identified 20,192 contigs from the transcriptome analysis of black tiger shrimp ovaries and testes.
  • Novel transcripts related to gonadotropin-releasing hormone signaling and progesterone-mediated oocyte maturation were discovered.
  • Key receptors associated with the maturation process, including GnRH receptor, calcium channel L type alpha-1C, and epidermal growth factor receptor, were identified.
  • A putative novel vigillin encoding an estrogen-induced polysome-associated protein was found, previously unreported in penaeid shrimp.
  • These findings suggest potential similarities in reproductive regulatory mechanisms between black tiger shrimp and vertebrates.
