Transcriptomic and metabolomic-based revelation of the effect of fresh corn extract on meat quality of Jingyuan chicken.

ABSTRACT: To investigate the effect of fresh corn extract (FCE) on chicken meat quality, 135-day-old Jingyuan chicken hens were fed diets containing different doses of FCE (CON, 0.3% FCE, 0.6% FCE and 0.9% FCE) until 180 day-old in this study. Meat performance measurements showed that the 0.6% FCE group of Jingyuan chickens had higher intramuscular fat (IMF), pressing loss (PL), amino acid and fatty acid contents (P < 0.05). Their breasts were collected for transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses (n=8), and 210 Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 29 Differentially expressed genes (DEMs) were obtained. Gene Ontology (GO) analyses of DEGs indicate multiple entries involved in IMF synthesis such as skeletal system development and cellular response to amino acid stimulation. Kyoto Encyclopedia of
