Coat-color gene suppresses sexual activity in Icelandic sheep.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Dýrmundsson O R, Adalsteinsson S

Abstract excerpt

Out-of-season lambing in Icelandic sheep occurs at a significantly lower rate among white than among nonwhite (colored) ewes. This limitation on the length of the breeding season is ascribed to a previously unknown effect of the top dominant allele at the agouti locus, Awh, which produces the ordinary white color in sheep.
