季节性繁殖动物在长期进化过程中形成了固定的生殖节律,保证后代出生在一年中最适宜的季节。已经确定一些基因与哺乳动物繁殖的节律性有关,笔者简要介绍了钟基因、Leptin基因、RFamide-related peptide基因与繁殖节律的关系。
Reproductive rhythm was formed and fixed in the process of long evolution in mammals and some genes were identified to be related with the rhythm of reproductive seasonality,which supported mammals to maximize reproductive success and avoid breeding during inappropriate conditions.This review briefly introduced the relationships between Clock,Leptin,RFamide-related peptide genes and reproductive rhythm in mammals.
