Uncovering the Eyestalk-Androgenic Gland-Testis Regulatory Axis Underlying Male Sexual Development of the Giant Freshwater Prawn Macrobrachium Rosenbergii: Insights from Multi-Tissue Comparative Transcriptomics Analysis
Key Points
Male sexual development is regulated by the eyestalk-androgenic gland-testis axis, affecting growth and reproduction.
Key transcripts were identified in various tissues that highlight the role of hormones in sexual differentiation.
Comparative transcriptomics analysis employed across multiple tissues provided insights into the molecular mechanisms involved.
This research may enable improved strategies in aquaculture by understanding sexual development pathways.
