Serial Analysis of Gene Expression in Turkey Sperm Storage Tubules in the Presence and Absence of Resident Sperm
1 Aug 2003
Abstract excerpt
Turkey sperm lose viability within 8-18 h when stored as liquid semen using current methods and extenders. In contrast, turkey hens maintain viable, fertile sperm in their sperm storage tubules (SST) for 45 or more days following a single insemination. Our long-term objectives are to identify and characterize differentially expressed genes that may underlie this prolonged sperm storage and then use this...
