Signaling pathways controlling the crustacean molting gland
Meeting Abstract 15.5 Wednesday, Jan. 4 Signaling pathways controlling the crustacean molting gland MYKLES, D.L.; Colorado State University, Fort Collins don@lamar.colostate.edu Molting in decapod crustaceans is controlled by molt-inhibiting hormone (MIH), a neuropeptide that suppresses production of molting hormone (ecdysteroids) by a pair of molting glands (Y-organs or YOs). MIH signaling is organized into a cAMP/Ca2+-dependent “triggering” […]

Molecular basis of low salinity limits in euryhaline decapod crustaceans
Meeting Abstract 15.10 Wednesday, Jan. 4 Molecular basis of low salinity limits in euryhaline decapod crustaceans HENRY, RP*; SERRANO, L; Auburn University; Auburn University henryrp@auburn.edu Euryhaline crustaceans make the transition from osmoconformity to osmoregulation at about 26 ppt salinity, and this ability allows them to survive in very dilute estuarine waters. But even these organisms have a […]
