The geographic distribution of three Misgurnus species, M. anguillicaudatus, M. bipartitus, and M. mohoity, displays a specific pattern in China, coincident with temperature zones. In this study, we sequenced the transcriptomes of these three species and used the sequences to investigate the lineage-specific adaptations within the genus Misgurnus. In total, 51 orphan genes (19 in M. anguillicau...

Abstract We have analyzed the polymorphism of ISSR fragments DNA by polymerase chain reaction in spined loaches for first time. The analysis has made it possible to successfully differentiate genomes, which were presumably involved formation polyploid forms hybrid origin: Cobitis taenia ; from Danube River basin, are diagnosed as C. elongatoides tanaitica Don basin and Lake Sinoe, also assigned...

This study aimed to explore the gill developmental mechanism of high mortality rate Paramisgurnus dabryanus larvae in early life-history process. Based on histological observations with a optical microscope, we studied ontogeny P. dabryanus. The result indicated that external gills first appeared 12 h after hatching. number branchial filaments greatly increased at 2 d hatching (DAH). internal f...

Misgurnus anguillicaudatus has several natural ploidy types. To investigate whether nuclear polyploidy have an impact on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), the complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of five distinct ploidy M. anguillicaudatus (natural diploid, triploid, tetraploid, pentaploid and hexaploid), which were collected in central China, were sequenced and analyzed. The five mitogenomes ...

The structure of spined loaches diploid-poliploid complex Cobitis genera representatives as well Sabanjeewia aurata the Eastern Ukraine river systems were investigated by allozyme analysis and cytometry. In total 39 samples 1412 specimens from upper left tributaries Dnieper River, Donets Basin, coastal rivers Azov Sea Lower studied. We identified C. (superspecies taenia) (51,6% all researched s...
