Primordial germ cell migration in banana shrimp: Fenneropenaeus merguiensis
Abstract:Importance of the work: For broodstock preparation and germ cell transplantation in Fenneropenaeus merguiensis, essential information on primordial germ cell (PGC) migration is lacking. Objectives: To locate and track PGCs in F. merguiensis by detecting vasa-expressed cells during gonad development.Materials & Methods: Immunohistochemistry of the vasa-like protein was performed to validate the vasa of the spermatogonia in the shrimp testis. Using whole-mount staining of the vasa-like protein, migrating PGCs we… Show more
