Ioxynil and diethylstilbestrol impair cardiac performance and shell growth in t...
Li, Yi-Feng; Lin, Yue-Tong; Wang, Yu-Qing; Ni, Ji-Yue; Power, DeborahThe herbicide ioxynil (IOX) and the synthetic estrogen diethylstilbestrol (DES) are environmentally relevant contaminants that act as endocrine disruptors (EDCs) and have recently been shown to be cardiovascular disruptors in vertebrates. Mussels, Mytilus coruscus, were exposed to low doses of IOX (0.37, 0.037 and 0.0037 mg/ L) and DES (0.27, 0.027 and 0.0027 mg/L) via the water and the effect monitored by gene...
Stage-specific transcriptomes of the Mussel Mytilus coruscus reveals the develo...
Wang, Yu-Qing; Liu, Qi; Zhou, Yan; Chen, Lizhi; Yang, Yue-Ming; Shi, Xue; Power, Deborah; Li, Yi-FengMany marine invertebrate larvae undergo complex morphological and physiological changes during the planktonic—benthic transition (a.k.a. metamorphosis). In this study, transcriptome analysis of different developmental stages was used to uncover the molecular mechanisms underpinning larval settlement and metamorphosis of the mussel, <i>Mytilus coruscus</i>. Analysis of highly upregulated differentially expressed...
