Vitellogenesis in fish represents a critical phase of oogenesis, significantly influencing the nutritional provisioning for oocyte maturation and subsequent offspring development. However, research on physiological mechanisms governing vitellogenesis at single-cell level remains limited. In this study, we performed single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) ovaries Sichuan bream (Sinibrama taeniatus). We first identified six distinct cell types (germ cells, follicular immune stromal endothelial epithelial cells) based typical functional marker genes. Subsequently, reconstructed developmental trajectory germ cells using pseudotime analysis, which describes transcriptional dynamics various stages. Additionally, transcription factors (TFs) specific to that exhibit high activity each stage. Furthermore, analyzed genetic heterogeneity different stages elucidate their contributions vitellogenesis. Finally, interaction analysis revealed communicate with somatic or other via multiple receptors ligands regulate growth, development, yolk acquisition. These findings enhance our understanding underlying fish, providing theoretical foundation regulating ovarian development farmed fish.
