Genistein (GEN), an isoflavonoid phytoestrogen, is one of the potent estrogenic compounds derived from plants that can cause disrupting effects on sex organ development in non-mammalian and mammalian species. The present study revealed effect of genistein on germ cell number in the genital ridges during gonadogenesis. Genistein (16 and 24 μg/g egg) was injected into the egg yolk prior to incubation. Effect of genistein on quail-primordial germ cells (PGCs) number was examined by counting the number of Wisteria floribunda (WFA)-positive cells localized in both left and right genital ridges compared with the control group. Both concentrations of genistein resulted in significant decrease of PGC number compared with the control group. Percentages of the sterility rate of the embryo treated with 16 and 24 μg of genistein/g egg were 19% and 23%, respectively. These results provide evidence that genistein may be a germ cell toxicant causing sterility later in life of adult birds. This is the first report on the effect of genistein on PGC number in the genital ridges of the avian embryo.
