Transcriptome profiling of hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary axis provides insights into egg-laying interval differences between european meat pigeons and shiqi pigeons
The hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary axis regulates the egg-laying interval of pigeons through tissue-specific pathways. Among them, the thyroid hormone signaling pathway controls upstream hormone secretion, and the steroid biosynthesis pathway affects follicle maturation. The identified key genes may serve as targets for shortening the egg-laying interval.
