Transcriptome analysis of ovarian tissues highlights genes controlling energy homeostasis and oxidative stress as potential drivers of heterosis for egg number and clutch size in crossbred laying hens

ABSTRACT: Heterosis is the major benefit of crossbreeding and has been exploited in laying hens breeding for a long time. This genetic phenomenon has been linked to various modes of nonadditive gene action. However, the molecular mechanism of heterosis for egg production in laying hens has not been...
