Abstract excerpt
Shell colour variation in Haliotis discus hannai is a complex trait influenced by genetic, physiological, and environmental factors. This study investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying shell colour formation, with a focus on the roles of biomineralisation, photosensitivity, and stress resistance. Using transcriptome analysis and microstructural observations, we compared red-shelled (RS) and green-shelled...
