Egg-laying performance reflects the overall reproductive performance of breeding hens. The
genetic traits for egg-laying performance have low or medium heritability, and, depending on …

Background Egg production is the most economically-important trait in layers as it directly
influences benefits of the poultry industry. To better understand the genetic architecture of …

This study was designed to perform an association analysis and identify SNP markers
associated with production traits of Japanese quail using restriction-site-associated DNA …

CCT domain-containing genes generally control flowering in plants. Currently, only six of the
41 CCT family genes have been confirmed to control flowering in rice. To efficiently identify …

Egg weight (EW) and age at first egg (AFE) are economically important traits in breeder
chicken production. The genetic basis of these traits, however, is far from understood …

Background Domestic geese are seasonal breeders and have the lowest reproductive
capacity among all poultry species. Magang geese is a topical short-day breeder, short …

The incubation behavior of geese seriously affects their egg production performance.
Studies on incubation behavior have identified functional genes, but the regulatory …

Egg products from indigenous chickens have growing market shares as consumers are
pursuing differentiation in egg consumption. The genetic improvement in egg production …

Age at first egg (AFE) has consistently garnered interest as a crucial reproductive indicator
within poultry production. Previous studies have elucidated the involvement of the …

Abstract Heterotrimeric Heme Activator Protein (HAP) family genes are involved in the
regulation of flowering in plants. It is not clear how many HAP genes regulate heading date …
