Transcriptomic analysis of melatonin on the mechanism of embryonic gonadal development in female Jilin white geese.

ABSTRACT: The goose industry represents a significant sector within the broader waterfowl industry in China, with early gonadal development playing a pivotal role in enhancing population productivity. Melatonin plays a crucial role in regulating early gonadal development, but the molecular mechanism underlying the effect of melatonin as a regulator remains unclear. In this study, the relationship between melatonin and egg production performance in Jilin white goose was first established, then, an in Ovo injection of melatonin in goose embryos on the embryonic day 12 (E12) was performed to evaluate the impact of melatonin on the gonadal development in Jilin white goose. The results showed that the in Ovo injection of melatonin increased the expression of FOXL2 in the gonads while decreasing the expre
