Abstract excerpt
This study was designed to investigate the effects of calpastatin genotypes determined by PCR-SSCP (polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism) on calpastatin activity (CAC) and Warner-Bratzler Shear Force (WBS). Longissimus muscles were prepared from 379 Hanwoo bulls aged approximately 20months. The selection of PCR primers was based on exons (27 and 28) of the bovine calpastatin cDNA...
