The role of the proteinase inhibitor ovorubin in apple snail eggs resembles plant embryo defense against predation
Background Fieldwork has thoroughly established that most eggs are intensely predated.
Among the few exceptions are the aerial egg clutches from the aquatic snail Pomacea …

An integrated proteomic and transcriptomic analysis of perivitelline fluid proteins in a freshwater gastropod laying aerial eggs
Proteins of the egg perivitelline fluid (PVF) that surrounds the embryo are critical for
embryonic development in many animals, but little is known about their identities. Using an …
