Fig. 6From: Transcriptome analysis reveals core lncRNA-mRNA networks regulating melanization and biomineralization in Patinopecten yessoensis shell-infested by PolydoraMelanin synthesis in P. yessoensis. (A) The molecular pathway of melanin synthesis in P. yessoensis. (B) Melanin granules observed in the mantles of healthy P. yessoensis by histological (B-1, B-2) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) techniques (B-3). (C) Melanin granules observed in the mantles of Polydora-infected P. yessoensis by histological (C-1, C-2) and TEM techniques (C-3). Red arrows indicate melanin granulesBack to article page
