Expression analysis of the CEL gene. (a) Tissue expression profiles and electrophoresis patterns of the CEL gene in 14-week-old Lushi chickens. (b) Spatiotemporal expression of the CEL gene in pancreatic tissue of AA broiler and Lushi chickens. (c) Expression pattern of chicken CEL mRNA for various genotypes. Means with different superscripts indicate significant differences: different subscripts indicate p < 0.05; and matching subscripts indicate no difference (p > 0.05). (d) CEL expression in the pancreas tissue of high-weight line and low-weight line chickens (N = 4 per line). The high-weight line is from Ross 308 birds with the DD genotype of CEL. The low-weight line is the Lushi indigenous breed with a feral II genotype of CEL. *p < 0.05 was estimated by Student’s t-test. All data are presented as the means ± SD.
