The aim of this study was to determine the roles of direct photoreception and the internal oscillator in the regulation of melatonin secretion in the pineal organ of the domestic turkey. The pineal organs were collected from 12-, 13- and 14-week-old female turkeys reared under a 12 L:12 D cycle with the photophase from 07.00 to 19.00, and were incubated in superfusion culture for 3\u20136 days. The cultures were subjected to different light conditions including 12 L:12 D cycles with photophases between 07.00 and 19.00, 13.00 and 01.00 or 01.00 and 13.00, a reversed cycle 12 D:12 L, cycles with long (16 L:8 D) and short (8 L:16 D) photophases, and continuous darkness or illumination. The pineal organs were also exposed to light pulses of variable duration during incubation in darkness or to periods of darkness during the photophase. The secretion of melatonin was determined by direct radioimmunoassay. The turkey pineal organs secreted melatonin in a well-entrained diurnal rhythm with a very high amplitude. Direct photoreception as an independently acting mechanism was able to ensure quick and precise adaptation of the melatonin secretion rhythm to changes in light-dark conditions. The pineal organs secreted melatonin in circadian rhythms during incubation in continuous darkness or illumination. The endogenous oscillator of turkey pinealocytes was able to acquire and store information about the light-dark cycle and then to generate the circadian rhythm of melatonin secretion in continuous darkness according to the stored data. The obtained data suggest that the turkey pineal gland is highly autonomous in the generation and regulation of the melatonin secretion rhythm. They also demonstrate that the turkey pineal organ in superfusion culture is a valuable model for chronobiological studies, providing a highly precise clock and calendar. This system has several features which make it an attractive alternative to other avian pineal glands for circadian studies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms20164022","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,19]],"date-time":"2019-08-19T06:10:14Z","timestamp":1566195014000},"page":"4022","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Roles of Direct Photoreception and the Internal Circadian Oscillator in the Regulation of Melatonin Secretion in the Pineal Organ of the Domestic Turkey: A Novel In Vitro Clock and Calendar Model"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Magdalena","family":"Prusik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Histology and Embryology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, Oczapowskiego 13, Olsztyn 10-719, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2604-926X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bogdan","family":"Lewczuk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Histology and Embryology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, Oczapowskiego 13, Olsztyn 10-719, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"203","DOI":"10.1159\/000014640","article-title":"Melatonin and biological rhythms","volume":"9","year":"2000","journal-title":"Biol.
