Molecular markers linked to commercially important phenotypes are useful and can be
applied for selection of juveniles and broodstock with desired traits in breeding programs of …

Molting is a very important growth period in shrimp. During the intermolt cycle, the
accumulations of carbohydrate protein provide steady growth. The molt-inhibiting hormone …

Abstract Molt-inhibiting hormone (MIH), a neuropeptide synthesized in the eyestalk in
crustaceans, is mainly responsible for the molting by negatively controlling the ecdysteroids …

The oriental river prawn, Macrobrachium nipponense, is an important commercial
aquaculture resource in China. In order to overwinter, M. nipponense displays decreased …

Molt-inhibiting hormone (MIH) is a neuropeptide member belonging to the eyestalk CHH
family. Molting in shrimp is controlled by MIH and ecdysone. By inhibiting the synthesis of …

Neuropeptides from the X-organ-sinus gland complex in the eyestalk have important roles in
the regulation of growth and maturation in crustaceans. A cDNA encoding a molt-inhibiting …

Molt-inhibiting hormone (MIH) is a principal endocrine hormone regulating the growth in
crustaceans. In total, nine MIH peptide sequences representing members of the family …

Abstract In this study, the 5′-flanking region of molt-inhibiting hormone (MIH) gene was
cloned by Tail-PCR. It is 2024 bp starting from the translation initiation site, and 1818 bp …

Identification of molecular markers linked to phenotypic parameters of reproduction is
important and can be applied to domestication and selective breeding programs of the giant …

Abstract The Molt Inhibiting Hormone gene and cDNA of the banana shrimp
Fenneropenaeus merguiensis (FmMIH1) has been cloned and characterized. FmMIH1 …
