Currently, there are few studies on the development and regulation of greater amberjack ovaries. In this study, the ovary transcriptome profiles of greater amberjack at three different stages (stage II, III, and IV) were performed, and identified the genes and pathways that may play significant roles in the processes of follicle growth and maturation. A total of 6597, and 1061 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected in FII vs. FIII, FIII vs. FIV, and FII vs. FIV stages, respectively. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses revealed that these DEGS are primarily involved in steroid hormone biosynthesis (e.g., cyp11a1, cyp17a1, cyp19a1a, hsd3b1, esr1), lipid metabolism (e.g., plpp3, lpl, pld1, and fabp10a), and meiotic arrest and resumption (e.g., pgr, arb, ccnd2, adcy2, adcy9, myl9, calm1). Additionally, several signaling pathways involved in ovarian development have been identified, including the PI3K-Akt, Wnt, TGF-beta, GnRH, and immune-related signaling pathways. qPCR results of nine representative genes related to steroid hormone synthesis and cell growth verified the reliability of the generated RNA-seq data. This research contributes to our comprehension of the molecular processes underlying ovarian growth and maturation in marine fishes and provides a theoretical basis for the investigation of functional genes associated with oogenesis in greater amberjack.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani15030333","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,24]],"date-time":"2025-01-24T08:48:23Z","timestamp":1737708503000},"page":"333","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Transcriptomic Analysis Provides New Insights into Oocyte Growth and Maturation in Greater Amberjack (Seriola dumerili)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Jiahui","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangdong Research Center on Reproductive Control and Breeding Technology of Indigenous Valuable Fish Species, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Aquatic Animal Disease Control and Healthy Culture, Fisheries College of Guangdong Ocean University, Zhanjiang 524088, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaoying","family":"Ru","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Development and Research Center for Biological Marine Resources, Southern Marine Science and Engineering Guangdong Laboratory (Zhanjiang), Zhanjiang 524025, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yang","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangdong Research Center on Reproductive Control and Breeding Technology of Indigenous Valuable Fish Species, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Aquatic Animal Disease Control and Healthy Culture, Fisheries College of Guangdong Ocean University, Zhanjiang 524088, China"},{"name":"Development and Research Center for Biological Marine Resources, Southern Marine Science and Engineering Guangdong Laboratory (Zhanjiang), Zhanjiang 524025, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jinhui","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Agro-Tech Extension Center of Guangdong Province, Guangzhou 510500, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tonglin","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangdong Research Center on Reproductive Control and Breeding Technology of Indigenous Valuable Fish Species, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Aquatic Animal Disease Control and Healthy Culture, Fisheries College of Guangdong Ocean University, Zhanjiang 524088, China"},{"name":"Development and Research Center for Biological Marine Resources, Southern Marine Science and Engineering Guangdong Laboratory (Zhanjiang), Zhanjiang 524025, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peipei","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangdong Research Center on Reproductive Control and Breeding Technology of Indigenous Valuable Fish Species, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Aquatic Animal Disease Control and Healthy Culture, Fisheries College of Guangdong Ocean University, Zhanjiang 524088, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jin","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangdong Research Center on Reproductive Control and Breeding Technology of Indigenous Valuable Fish Species, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Aquatic Animal Disease Control and Healthy Culture, Fisheries College of Guangdong Ocean University, Zhanjiang 524088, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kunfeng","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangdong Research Center on Reproductive Control and Breeding Technology of Indigenous Valuable Fish Species, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Aquatic Animal Disease Control and Healthy Culture, Fisheries College of Guangdong Ocean University, Zhanjiang 524088, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chunhua","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangdong Research Center on Reproductive Control and Breeding Technology of Indigenous Valuable Fish Species, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Aquatic Animal Disease Control and Healthy Culture, Fisheries College of Guangdong Ocean University, Zhanjiang 524088, China"},{"name":"Development and Research Center for Biological Marine Resources, Southern Marine Science and Engineering Guangdong Laboratory (Zhanjiang), Zhanjiang 524025, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"367","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ygcen.2009.05.022","article-title":"Oogenesis in teleosts: How fish eggs are formed","volume":"165","author":"Lubzens","year":"2010","journal-title":"Gen.
