Diagnostic genetic markers unravel the interplay between host and donor oyster contribution in cultured pearl formation
2011-06-01
Abstract excerpt
To produce a cultured pearl, a mantle allograft originating from a donor oyster is surgically implanted along with a shell bead nucleus into the gonad of a recipient oyster from the same species (termed the host oyster). Whilst, studies have shown that genomic DNA from a mantle allograft remains present in the pearl sac at the time of pearl harvest, what remains unclear is whether biomineralisation genes from the...
