Studies on the local and mutual regulatory mechanisms controlling ovarian, oviductal and uterine functions(Division of Science for Bio-Production)
◆Development for innovative technologies of breeding, reproduction and disease prevention using livestock genomic information ◆Leader: Prof. OKUDA Kiyoshi◆Period: 2012-2016 The ovary, oviduct and uterus interact with each other by mutual regulatory mechanisms (cross-talk) via signal molecules, and then maintain a harmonious reproductive function. Therefore, the unbalance of this mutual regulatory mechanism may result in a crucial disorder for the reproductive function. The objective is to elucidate the cross-talk mechanisms among ovary, oviduct and uterus from the aspect of the cell physiology involving endocrinology. The new findings will be applied to new breeding technologies aiming shortening the breeding cycle and to improve the conception rate. |
