Abstract excerpt
Luteinizing hormone beta polypeptide (LHB) gene has been considered important for sexual behavior and has associations with sperm quality. In this study, four SNPs (g.276 T>C, g.377A>C, g.401T>C, and g.412A>G) were detected in the LHB gene of 165 water buffaloes by direct sequencing and identification of overlap peaks, each of which was associated with at least one sperm quality trait of ejaculate volume, sperm...
