C1q, a pivotal pattern recognition receptor (PRR) in the innate immune system, plays crucial roles in the defense of aquatic invertebrates against environmental stressors and pathogen infections. However, systematic identification and functional characterization of the C1q gene family in bivalves remain largely unexplo...

The nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathway is a central regulator of innate immunity in animals, yet its evolutionary diversification in bivalve molluscs remains incompletely understood. Here, we analyzed NF-κB/Rel genes across 29 representative bivalve species from 11 families. Our analyses revealed substantial variat...

This study provides new insights into the molecular mechanisms of cold adaptation in marine bivalves, and the above genes may serve as candidate markers for cold tolerance breeding, although further functional validation and population genetic assessments are still needed.

This study systematically elucidates the evolutionary characteristics and expression regulation patterns of ATG genes in C. nobilis, laying a solid foundation for dissecting the mechanisms of environmental adaptation and immune defense in this scallop, and providing a valuable reference for autophagy-related research i...
