The ovary can generate oocytes and secrete female hormones and thus is of great significance to animal fertility. In turn, the functioning of this organ has an effect on the profit margins of the livestock breeding industry. As the development-regulating gene and target gene of miR-202, might play an important role in ovarian growth.
