Transcriptome Profiling Analysis of the Testis After Eyestalk Ablation for Selection of the Candidate Genes Involved in the Male Sexual Development in Macrobrachium nipponense.

ABSTRACT: The eyestalk of crustacean species secretes many hormones, affecting the process of reproduction, molting, metabolism of glucose, and other functions in crustaceans. In this study, important metabolic pathways and candidate genes involved in the male sexual development were identified through performing the transcriptome profiling analysis of the testis after the ablation of eyestalk from Macrobrachium nipponense. The histological observations revealed that the testis development became vigorous after eyestalk ablation, indicating that the hormones secreted by the eyestalk have negative effects on the testis development in M. nipponense. Transcriptome profiling analysis revealed that 1,039, 1,226, and 3,682 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified between normal
