Spatio-temporal characterization of retinal opsin gene expression during thyroid hormone-induced and natural development of rainbow trout
1 Mar 2006
Abstract excerpt
The abundance and spatial distribution of retinal cone photoreceptors change during thyroid hormone (TH)-induced and natural development of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). These changes are thought to allow the fish to adapt to different photic environments throughout its life history. To date, the ontogeny of rainbow trout cone photoreceptors has been examined using physiological and morphological...
