Abstract excerpt

It has been demonstrated that variations in litter size or ovulation rate in different breeds of sheep can be associated with the segregation of several major genes. This set of natural mutants constitutes a valuable resource to determine key points in the biochemical pathways controlling the development of ovarian follicles. The French genetic programmes were devised to identify two of these genes: the Booroola...
