The freshwater mussel Hyriopsis cumingii, is the most important species for pearl culture in China. At present, the mechanisms underlying sex differentiation and determination remain unclear in this species. Herein the open reading frame (ORF) of Foxl2 from H. cumingii (Hc-Foxl2) was cloned, and Hc-Foxl2 expression levels in six tissues (the gonad, gill, adductor muscle, foot, mantle, and kidney) were determined. Further, we performed quantitative real-time PCR to compare expressions levels between 1 and 8 months of age and 1-, 2-, and 3-year-old H. cumingi
