Identification of the photoperiodic signaling pathway regulating seasonal reproduction using the functional genomics approach
H Ono, N Nakao, T Yoshimura - General and comparative endocrinology, 2009 - Elsevier
Animals measure photoperiod (daylength) and adapt to seasonal changes in the
environment by altering their physiology and behavior accordingly. Although this
photoperiodic response has long been of interest, the underlying mechanism has only
recently begun to be uncovered at the molecular level. Japanese quail provide an excellent
model to study the molecular mechanism underlying the vertebrate photoperiodic response.
The recent sequencing of the chicken genome allowed a system-level analysis of …
