Abstract excerpt
The gene encoding the MT1 melatonin receptor in sheep has a restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) site to the MnlI enzyme whose incidence is associated to the expression of seasonality in several breeds. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between this genetic marker and the physiological effects of MT1 receptor gene polymorphism on several seasonal functions in Ile-de-France ewes. The...
