Ovarian follicle development is a complex and well-orchestrated biological process of great
economic significance for poultry production. Specifically, understanding the molecular …

Background Ovarian follicle development plays an important role in determination of poultry
egg production. The follicles at the various developmental stages possess their own distinct …

Egg production is an important economic trait in the commercial poultry industry. Ovarian
follicle development plays a pivotal role in regulation of laying hen performance and …

Simple Summary Successive follicle selection is important for egg production and
reproductive performance in chickens. The molecular mechanisms of follicle selection in …

Large ovarian follicles are primary characteristics of oviparous species. The development of
such follicles is crucially governed by strict intrinsic complex regulation. Many aspects of the …

The molecular mechanisms associated with follicle maturation and ovulation are not well
defined in avian species. In this study, we used RNA-seq to study the gene expression …

Follicle selection is an important step in the laying process of chicken, which is closely
related to the laying performance and fecundity of hens. Follicle selection mainly depends …

Background Follicle selection in chickens refers to the process of selecting one follicle from
a group of small yellow follicles (SY, 6–8 mm in diameter) for development into 12–15 mm …

Simple Summary The laying hen industry plays an important role in the production value of
the Chinese poultry industry, and the laying performance of hens is usually closely related to …

Follicle selection and preovulatory hierarchy of hen ovaries were important stages of follicle
development and crucially determining egg-laying performance. The selected follicles with a …
