Description
Md Yousuf Ali and three co-authors link gene variants in HSP70 and HSF3 to egg traits in Bangladeshi hilly chickens, in a study from 2024. Heat shock protein 70 helps birds handle heat, and its expression is set by heat shock factor 3. Sequencing and targeted PCR were used to find variants and genotype the birds in this local breed.
Two new variants near HSP70 were tied to egg numbers in a set age window and to egg weight at a later age. Other variants in both genes tracked egg counts at distinct ages. Combined types also linked to maturity age and body weight. The authors say these markers could aid selective breeding for output in warm settings.
