Characterization of the structural and molecular defects in fibres and follicles of the Merino felting lustre mutant.

Experimental dermatology - 1 Feb 2009

Li Shu Wei, Ouyang Hong Sheng, Rogers George Ernest, Bawden Christopher Simon

Abstract excerpt

The felting lustre (FL) mutation found in Merino sheep results in a fleece that has a lustrous appearance and readily felts. This phenotype was described 50 years ago to result from the mutation of a single gene, but the molecular and cellular changes in the wool are not well understood. In this study, follicle and fibre material of FL mutant (n = 3) and normal control (n = 5) Merino ewes was compared using...
