contents Decoding the Impacts of Mating Behavior on Ovarian Development in Mud Crab (, Estampador 1949): Insights from SMRT RNA-seq. Wu, Chenyang Abu, Sadek Md Zhou, Xiyi Yu, Yang Ikhwanuddin, Mhd Waqas, Waqas Ma, Hongyu Pubertal molting represents a pivotal transition in the life cycle of crustaceans, marking the shift from somatic growth to reproductive development. In mud crabs, mating is known to facilitate this process, yet the molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we applied full-length transcriptome sequencing to characterize changes in gene expression and alternative splicing (AS) across post-mating ovarian development. AS analysis revealed extensive transcript diversity, predominantly alternative first exon (AF) and alternative 5' splice site (A5) events, enriched in genes linked to chromatin remodeling, protein regulation, and metabolism, underscoring AS as a fine-tuning mechanism in ovarian development. Comparative analyses revealed profound molecular reprogramming after mating. In the UM vs. M1 comparison, pathways related to serotonin and catecholamine signaling were enriched, suggesting early neuroendocrine regulation. Serotonin likely promoted, while dopamine inhibited, oocyte maturation, indicating a potential "inhibition-activation" switch. In the UM vs. M3 comparison, pathways associated with oxidative phosphorylation, ATP biosynthesis, and lipid metabolism were upregulated, reflecting heightened energy demands during vitellogenesis. ECM-receptor interaction, HIF-1, and IL-17 signaling pathways further pointed to structural remodeling and tissue regulation. Enhanced antioxidant defenses, including upregulation of SOD2, CAT, GPX4, and GSTO1, highlighted the importance of redox homeostasis. Together, these findings provide the first comprehensive view of transcriptional and splicing dynamics underlying post-mating ovarian maturation in , offering novel insights into the molecular basis of crustacean reproduction.
