Effects of light wavelength on oocyte maturation, parthenogenesis, and parthenogenetic embryo development in pigs.

ABSTRACT: Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) to generate developmentally competent oocytes necessitates light exposure due to the use of microscopes. Previous studies in several species have reported that the wavelength of light during the light exposure period is a critical factor in embryo development. However, the effects of different light wavelengths on embryo development in pigs remain unexplored. This study aimed to identify the optimal light conditions to enhance oocyte maturation, parthenogenetic activation of mature oocytes, and pre-implantation development of parthenogenetic embryos in pigs. Conducted irradiation experiments during in vitro maturation (IVM), parthenogenesis (PG), and in vitro culture (IVC) using visible (390-750 nm), blue (445-500 nm), green (500-575 nm), yellow (57
