Twenty-four pairs of primers were used to amplify the target fragments ranging from 80 bp to 445 bp, which included 16 pairs designed in our laboratory and eight pairs published internationally. Two to 10 alleles per locus in four populations were amplified, and there were 155 alleles in all populations. The average number of alleles per locus was 6.458. The average number of effective alleles per locus （Ne） was 4.349l to 4.7234; the average observed heterozygosity （Ho） was 0.5690 to 0.6722; and the average expected heterozygosity （He） was 0.7238 to 0.7546. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium analysis （Z2 test, P 〈 0.05） revealed that seven loci in the four populations were in equilibrium. The genetic distances between the four populations were calculated and revealed that the Anhui, Jiangsu and Tianjin crabs belong to a Yangtse River population, while the Liaohe crabs form another branch.展开更多

The sinus gland (SG) is composed primarily of nerve terminals and glial cells. The terminal contains a great number of membrane bound granules, mitochondria, rough endoplasmic reticulum and electron lucent vesicles. The profiles of the terminals are sometimes exhibited finger like projections. The X organ (XO) locates at the ventral surface of the medulla terminalis ganglion in the eyestalk, oppositing to SG. According to the features of granule size, shape, electron density and cytoplasm, 6 types of terminals in SG and 7 types of neurosecretory (NS) cells in XO were identified. The release process by exocytosis of the granules in SG was observed and a tentative comparison was made for the granules between different types of terminals and NS cells. It seemed that they had a good correspondence since no change in electron density and just a slight increase of sizes was shown.展开更多

Both purple and tea-green crabs have similar, even the same physical characteristics except for the carapace color. In order to identify the relationships between them, we amplified and compared two conserved mitochondrial gene fragments of color-different crab individuals through PCR-SSCP and DNA sequencing analyses. The results showed that there was no distinct variation of DNA bands of both the COl and 16srRNA genes detected in polyacrylamide gels through SSCP analysis between purple and tea-green crab samples, and the following sequence analysis of color-different crab individuals presented 99.81% and 99.91% nucleotide sequence identity of the COl and 16srRNA genes respectively, which indicated that there was no species or subspecies differentiation between them. In addition, the purple individuals were more conserved in DNA sequence in compadson with that of the tee-green ones.展开更多
