    Relationship of the orange tissue morphotype with shell and pearl colouration in the mollusc Pinctada margaritifera

    Molluscs display a vast range of shell colours both between and within species. However, only a few species show colour variation in their soft tissues. In French Polynesia, the pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifer...

    Cultured Pearl Surface Quality Profiling by the Shell Matrix Protein Gene Expression in the Biomineralised Pearl Sac Tissue of Pinctada margaritifera

    Nucleated pearls are produced by molluscs of the Pinctada genus through the biomineralisation activity of the pearl sac tissue within the recipient oyster. The pearl sac originates from graft tissue taken from th...

    Wild crop relative populations hot-spots of diversity are hot-spots of introgression in the case of pearl millet

    Wild crop relatives are unique genetic resources for crop adaptation. Increasing pressure from agriculture threatens these populations both by reducing their habitats and by creating opportunities for wild-cul...

    Donor and recipient contribution to phenotypic traits and the expression of biomineralisation genes in the pearl oyster model Pinctada margaritifera

    Grafting associates two distinct genotypes, each of which maintains its own genetic identity throughout the life of the grafted organism. Grafting technology is well documented in the plant kingdom, but much l...

    Half-sib family effects on cultured pearl quality traits in the black-lipped pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera: testing for indirect benefits of polyandry and polygyny

    Breeding strategies and parental effects play a major role in genetic selection programmes for quality trait improvement. The black-lip pearl oyster, Pinctada margaritifera, is a protandrous hermaphrodite species...

    Influence of nacre deposition rate on cultured pearl grade and colour in the black-lipped pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera using farmed donor families

    Cultured pearl nacre deposition rate in Pinctada margaritifera oysters was studied to examine its influence on Tahitian classification grade and colour and to further our understanding of using selected donor o...
