Abstract: 【Objective】The present experiment was conducted to study the tissue expression characteristics of related genes mRNA expression in duck hypothalamus-pituitary growth axis during embryogenesis and post-hatching development in different breeds of ducks. 【Method】We have compared the ontogeny of body weight and expression of growth hormone release hormone (GHRH), somatostatin (SS), growth hormone (GH), growth hormone receptor (GHR), insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) mRNA on the embryonic day 13, 17, 21, 25, and 27 and the 7-day-old Gaoyou duck and Jinding duck. 【Result】At the first time, the trial presented that duck hypothalamic GHRH and SS, pituitary GH, liver GHR and IGF- I mRNA were detected at E13. Except SS maintained a lower expression status in the duck early development, the other four genes showed a extremely significant difference in variety and time. In addition to GH, duck GHRH, GHR and IGF-I mRNA expression were significantly affected by breed and age interaction during early development. Compared with previous studies on chicken, significant species differences were observed in poultry embryonic hypothalamus-pituitary growth axis related gene mRNA expression. During early development, extremely significant variety and time specificity was found in developmental change of body and liver weight, and varying degrees of linear correlation was showed between that and related genes mRNA expression in duck hypothalamus-pituitary growth axis. 【Conclusion】It was suggested that different genetic backgrounds may lead to the differential growth rate and the related gene differential expression, and the differential expression of related genes mRNA in duck hypothalamus-pituitary growth axis may be involved in the early growth of ducks.
