| Research Abstract |
The photoperiodic control of physiological phenomena (known as photoperiodism), such as flowering in plants and reproductive activity in animals is observed in a wide variety of species. However, the molecular mechanism of photoperiodism was not well understood in any organism studies. In the present study, we investigated a process from photic inputs to GnRH release in photoperiodism, focusing on the regulation and function of Dio2 gene using fish, birds and mammals.
