Description Eyestalks are an important phototransduction organ that can receive light signals through photoreceptors. Eyestalk ganglions, located in eyestalk, play an important role in phototransduction, energy metabolism, and endocrine regulation. A previous study showed that damaged eyestalk ganglion can lead to a destruction of the phototransduction pathway. Moreover, some studies have found that eyestalks are involved in hatchability of embryos and gonadal development, such as in the crab (Dyspanopeus sayi) and the mud crab (Scylla paramamosain). It was previously known that levels of the crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH) in eyestalks are important for energy metabolism via the regulation glucose levels, and these levels were controlled by photoperiods in the crayfish (P. clarkii). In our previous studies, we found that the eyestalks of E. sinensis express the DA2 receptor which participates in light adaptation during the dark hours . However, there still lack information about the influence of photoperiods on the gene expression of eyestalk ganglion in E. sinensis.
