Association between melatonin receptor 1A gene polymorphism and reproductive performance in Dorset ewes.

Journal of animal science - 1 Aug 2009

Mateescu R G, Lunsford A K, Thonney M L

Abstract excerpt

The response to melatonin expression is one way that circadian rhythms of many biological processes are regulated. To evaluate the relationship between the melatonin receptor 1A (MTNR1A) gene and reproductive performance, records were compared in Dorset and 3/4-Dorset x 1/4-East Friesian ewes expressing different genotypes at the MTNR1A gene in the Cornell University sheep flock. There were 116 ewes with first...
