Apple snails are one of the most survived fresh water invasive species that causes massive
economic loss to vegetations, especially to the rice fields. They survive against many …

Feed is a crucial input for terrestrial animal and aquaculture production, but these sectors
face the same feed availability and sustainability challenges. Despite their reputation as rice …

In recent years, there has been considerable interest in lectins from marine invertebrates. In
this study, the biological activities of a lectin protein isolated from the eggs of Sea hare …

Gastropod Molluscs rely exclusively on the innate immune system to protect from pathogens,
defending their embryos through maternally transferred effectors. In this regard, Pomacea …

The poisonous eggs of Pomacea canaliculata hardly have any predators. This invasive
snail, listed among 100 of the worst invasive species, is a serious crop pest and a vector of …

The acquisition of egg protection is vital for species survival. Poisonous eggs from Pomacea
apple snails have defensive macromolecules for protection. Here we isolated and …

The relationship between protein stability and functional evolution is little explored in
proteins purified from natural sources. Here, we investigated a novel family of egg proteins …

Naturally bioresources play an important role as bio-additive sources in animal production.
The eggs of golden apple snails could be a source of carotenoid, particularly astaxanthin …

Rationale Proteins from the egg perivitelline fluid (PVF) are assumed to play critical roles in
embryonic development, but for many groups of animals their identities remain unknown …

The relationship between protein stability and function evolution in nature has not been
explored in detail. We investigate this fundamental question by characterizing the Perivitellin …
