Characterization and Gene Expression of Vitellogenesis-Related Transcripts in the Hepatopancreas and Ovary of the Red Swamp Crayfish, <i>Procambarus clarkii</i> (Girard, 1852), during Reproductive Cycle

Characterization and Gene Expression of Vitellogenesis-Related Transcripts in the Hepatopancreas and Ovary of the Red Swamp Crayfish, <i>Procambarus clarkii</i> (Girard, 1852), during Reproductive Cycle

The major component of the animal egg yolk is the lipoglycoprotein vitellin, derived from its precursor vitellogenin (VTG), which is produced species-specifically in decapod crustaceans in the hepatopancreas and/or in the ovary of reproductive females. Previous studies on <i>Procambarus clarki...
