TL;DR: Intestinal calcium absorption measured with 91Y as a reference substance was higher in birds during formation of egg shell than in those with inactive uteri, and the possible role of CaBP in calcium translocation is discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, specific primers are designed by using length difference of CHD1 (Chromodomain-Helicase-DNA-binding protein) genes of the cotuenix coturnix on Z chromosome and W chromosome.
Abstract: The invention discloses primers, a kit and a detection method for detecting the genders of cotuenix coturnix, and belongs to the technical field of molecular biology According to the invention, specific primers are designed by using length difference of CHD1 (Chromodomain-Helicase-DNA-binding protein 1) genes of the cotuenix coturnix on Z chromosome and W chromosome; genome DNAs of the cotuenix coturnix are taken as templates for performing PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) amplification and dissolution curve analysis; the karyotype of female cotuenix coturnix is ZW type, a PCR product contains two fragments with different sizes, and the sizes of strips are 470bp and 638bp respectively, so that the dissolution curve has two peaks; the karyotype of male cotuenix coturnix is ZZ type, a PCR product only contains one fragment, and the size of the strip is 638bp, so that the dissolution curve has one peak; the male cotuenix coturnix and the female cotuenix coturnix can be clearly distinguished by using the difference of the dissolution curve The detection method for the genders of the cotuenix coturnix, disclosed by the invention, has the characteristics of quickness, accuracy, economy and practicality, and is suitable for high-throughput operation

TL;DR: Japanese Quail embryos (Coturnix coturnIX japonica) were stimulated with 300 or 400 Hz tones from Day 12 to Day 15 of incubation and as neonates were tested in a simultaneous discrimination situation at three different ages for preferences for the embryo exposure tone.

TL;DR: The results show definitively that the eyes are the loci of a biological clock and strengthen the hypothesis that the ocular clock is a circadian pacemaker that can affect the rest of the circadian system via the cyclic synthesis and release of melatonin.
