CHARACTERIZATION OF TESTIS-SPECIFIC SERINE/THREONINE KINASE 1-LIKE (TSSK1-LIKE) GENE AND EXPRESSION PATTERNS IN DIPLOID AND TRIPLOID PACIFIC ABALONE (HALIOTIS DISCUS HANNAI; GASTROPODA; MOLLUSCA) MALES.

Testis-specific serine/threonine kinase 1-like (TSSK1-like), which plays important roles in late-phase spermatogenesis and male fertility, was characterized in Pacific abalone Haliotis discus hannai, an important commercial marine gastropod.Further, its expression patterns were assessed in diploid and induced triploid males showing differential deg

Parasitic isopod Ceratothoa oestroides (Cymothoidea, Isopoda) is a common and generalist buccal cavity-dweller in marine fish, recognised for its detrimental effect in fingerling and juvenile farmed European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax).Although distributed throughout the Mediterranean, the isopod provokes acute outbreaks mainly limited to parti

Ovarian follicular granulosa cells surround and nurture oocytes, and produce sex steroid Kids Jogger hormones.It is believed that during development the ovarian surface epithelial cells penetrate into the ovary and develop into granulosa cells when associating with oogonia to form follicles.Using bovine fetal ovaries (n = 80) we identified a novel

AISI 4340 and AISI 4140 are normally used for different structural applications in quenched and tempered state due to their high strength, high abrasion and fatigue resistance but they lack toughness.Presence of dual phase microstructure such as ferrite-bainite and ferrite-martensite in steels have been reported to improve Kids Jogger toughness but
