    Abstract: Molluscan shell color has consistently drawn attention for its abundant diversity and commercial use in shellfish breeding projects. Recently, two new strains of bay scallop ( Argopecten irradians irradians ) with different shell colors as marked phenotypic traits have been artificially bred to improve their economic values; however, the inheritance mechanism of their shell pigmentation is still unclear. In this study, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted to determine the genetic basis of shell color in bay scallops utilizing 29,036 high-quality single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) derived from 80 purple-red (PP) and 80 black-brown (BP) shell color individuals. The result of the GWAS showed that 469 SNPs ( p & lt;1.72E−6) significantly associated with shell color were mainly distributed in chromosome 7. The top three SNPs (i.e., chr7-12764003, chr7-13213864, and chr7-11899306) are located in the genic region of G-protein-coupled receptor-like 101 ( GRL101 ), polyketide synthase 1 ( PKS1 ), and phosphoinositide phospholipase C ( PLC1 ), which have been widely reported to be involved in pigmentation. Successfully, the top three SNPs were verified in another non-breeding bay scallop population. Furthermore, Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses obtained 38 GO terms covering 297 genes and aggregating pathways involving 252 annotated genes. Specifically, the expression profiles of the top three identified candidate genes were detected in mantles of PP and BP individuals by real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR. The significantly higher expression levels of GRL101 (6.43-fold) and PLC1 (6.48-fold) in PP, and PKS1 (12.02-fold) in BP implied that GRL101 and PLC1 potentially functioned in PP shell coloration, and black pigmentation in BP might be principally regulated by PKS1 . Our data provide valuable information for deciphering the phenotype differences of shell color in the bay scallop.

    Abstract: The increasing sea temperature caused by global warming has resulted in severe mortalities in maricultural scallops. Therefore, improving thermal tolerance has become an active research area in the scallop farming industry. Bay scallop ( Argopecten irradians irradians ) was introduced into China in 1982 and has developed into a vast aquaculture industry in northern China. To date, genetic studies on thermal tolerance in bay scallops are limited, and no systematic screening of thermal tolerance-related loci or genes has been conducted in this species. In the present study, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for thermal tolerance using the Arrhenius break temperature (ABT) indicators of 435 bay scallops and 38,011 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. The GWAS identified 1,906 significant thermal tolerance-associated SNPs located in 16 chromosomes of bay scallop. Gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses showed that 638 genes were enriched in 42 GO terms, while 549 annotated genes were enriched in aggregation pathways. Additionally, the SNP (15-5091-20379557-1) with the lowest P value was located in the transcriptional coactivator p15 ( PC4 ) gene, which is involved in regulating DNA damage repair and stabilizing genome functions. Further analysis in another population identified two new thermal tolerance-associated SNPs in the first coding sequence of PC4 in bay scallops ( AiPC4 ). Moreover, AiPC4 expression levels were significantly correlated ( r = 0.675–0.962; P & lt; 0.05) with the ABT values of the examined bay scallops. Our data suggest that AiPC4 might be a positive regulator of thermal tolerance and a potential candidate gene for molecular breeding in bay scallop aiming at thermal tolerance improvement.

    Abstract: Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades are fundamental signal transduction modules in all eukaryotic organisms, participating growth and development, as well as stress response. In the present study, three MAPK genes were successfully identified from the genome of Chlamys farreri , respectively, named CfERK1/2 , CfJNK , and Cfp38 , and only one copy of ERK , JNK , and p38 were detected. Domain analysis indicated that CfMAPK s possessed the typical domains, including S_TKc, Pkinase, and PKc_like domain. Phylogenetic analysis showed that three CfMAPK s of MAPK subfamilies exists in the common ancestor of vertebrates and invertebrates. All CfMAPK s specifically expressed during larval development and in adult tissues, and the expression level of CfERK1/2 and Cfp38 was apparently higher than that of CfJNK . Under heat stress, the expression of CfERK1/2 and Cfp38 were significantly downregulated and then upregulated in four tissues, while the expression of CfJNK increased in all tissues; these different expression patterns suggested a different molecular mechanism of CfMAPKs for bivalves to adapt to temperature changes. The diversity of CfMAPKs and their specific expression patterns provide valuable information for better understanding of the functions of MAPK cascades in bivalves.
