It is difficult to identify each tooth in the larval dentition. In this paper the appearancepattem of tooth germ with developmental process in this fish is described in detail. The formationpattern of the left dentition is contrasted with that of the right one. In the developmental process,the left pharyngeal dentition lacks teeth at position An3. Thus the left dentition is D-type as designatedby Nakajima(1984), while the right one is A-type.展开更多

Based on SEM observations ofthe developing teeth, this paper describes the morphological diversification of pharyngeal teeth in M.piceus. The larval and juvenile teeth are changed from conical to adult molariform teeth through sevenstages. Comparisons are made between each stage and corresponding types in some species of differentsubfamilies in Cyprinidae. It is considered that the ontogenetic resemblances of the pharyngeal teehbear relationship to the phylogeny of cyprinids.展开更多

In this paper,we studied the structure,expression and function of black carp insulin gene.The complete Mylopharyngodon piceus insulin(Mp-Ins)gene is 1,965 bp long and includes a 1,499 bp 5ʹ-untranslated region(UTR),a ...In this paper,we studied the structure,expression and function of black carp insulin gene.The complete Mylopharyngodon piceus insulin(Mp-Ins)gene is 1,965 bp long and includes a 1,499 bp 5ʹ-untranslated region(UTR),a 139 bp 3′-UTR with a poly(A)tail,and an open reading frame(ORF)of 327 bp.The predicted molecular weight of the recombinant Mp-Ins(rMp-Ins)protein is 11.87 kDa.The mRNA expression of Mp-Ins is upregulated in the brain and liver.After the injection of rMp-Ins,Mp-Ins mRNA transcript abundance was significantly upregulated in the liver.The rMp-Ins protein could inhibit the concentration of glycogen phosphorylase(GP),growth hormone(GH),fatty acid synthase(FAS),and insulin-like growth factors-1(IGF-1),and it also significantly increased the concentration of PI3K.Additionally,the injection of rMp-Ins did not have a significant impact on the glucose-6-phosphatase(G6Pase)content in blood.In situ hybridization results showed that the positive signal of the Mp-Ins gene was mainly concentrated in the cell nucleus of brain tissue and the cell membrane of liver tissue and muscle tissue.Together,these results demonstrated that Mp-Ins plays an important role in growth and metabolism in M.piceus.展开更多
