Effect of follicle size and of the FecB Booroola gene on oocyte function in sheep.

Journal of reproduction and fertility - 1 Mar 1998

Cognie Y, Benoit F, Poulin N, Khatir H, Driancourt M A

Abstract excerpt

Booroola ewes have a major gene that affects ovulation rate. Gene expression has consequences on ovarian somatic cells but it is unknown whether it also affects germ cells in the adult ovary. Hence, the present study examined (1) whether oocyte growth was similar in FecBFecB and Fec+ Fec+ oocytes...
