Abstract
Zig-zag eel (Mastacembelus armatus (2 n = 48)) and Spiny eel (Sinobdella sinensis (2 n = 48)) are two species of the Mastacembelidae family commonly found in southern China. Hybridization between the two has a very high deformity rate and a very low hatching rate. In order to investigate the reasons for this, the first hybridization between M. armatus and S. sinensis was carried out using artificial insemination, and the embryonic development of the hybrid offspring was examined using microphotography, and the malformations of the hybrid offspring were investigated by transcriptomics. The experiments showed that the average egg production was 4265.7 ± 322.94 (Mean ± SD), the average fertilization rate of hybrid offspring was 98.67 ± 0.58 % (Mean ± SD), the hatching rate was 12.06 ± 3.44 % (Mean ± SD), the deformity rate was 98.15 ± 3.21 % (Mean ± SD), and the embryonic development successively went through the five main stages of fertilized egg, egg cleavage, embryo formation, organogenesis, and exertion of membranes. Transcriptomics showed that the expression of NAD(P)H-related enzyme activity DEGs was increased, and many DEGs related to cell signaling molecule transmission and metabolic regulation are enriched in KEGG pathways, such as IL-17 signaling pathway, Osteoclast differentiation, TNF signaling pathway and MAPK signaling pathway. etc. The major types of DEGs corresponded to those coding for proteins. This study suggests that the high malformation rate in hybrid offspring may be caused by impaired synthesis of proteins during embryonic development.
期刊介绍：
Animal Reproduction Science publishes results from studies relating to reproduction and fertility in animals. This includes both fundamental research and applied studies, including management practices that increase our understanding of the biology and manipulation of reproduction. Manuscripts should go into depth in the mechanisms involved in the research reported, rather than a give a mere description of findings. The focus is on animals that are useful to humans including food- and fibre-producing; companion/recreational; captive; and endangered species including zoo animals, but excluding laboratory animals unless the results of the study provide new information that impacts the basic understanding of the biology or manipulation of reproduction.
The journal''s scope includes the study of reproductive physiology and endocrinology, reproductive cycles, natural and artificial control of reproduction, preservation and use of gametes and embryos, pregnancy and parturition, infertility and sterility, diagnostic and therapeutic techniques.
The Editorial Board of Animal Reproduction Science has decided not to publish papers in which there is an exclusive examination of the in vitro development of oocytes and embryos; however, there will be consideration of papers that include in vitro studies where the source of the oocytes and/or development of the embryos beyond the blastocyst stage is part of the experimental design.
