Strong regulatory effects of vgll3 genotype on reproductive axis gene expression in juvenile male Atlantic salmon.

Abstract excerpt

Age at maturity is a major contributor to the diversity of life history strategies in organisms. The process of maturation is influenced by both genetics and the environment, and includes changes in levels of sex hormones and behavior, but the specific factors leading to variation in maturation timing are poorly understood. gnrh1 regulates the transcription of gonadotropin genes at pubertal onset in many species,...
