polymorphism of the melatonin receptor 1a gene and its association with litter size in zel and naeini sheep breeds
نویسندگان
چکیده
the influence of melatonin receptor 1a gene on litter size was studied in 150 ewes from zel (n=100) and naeini (n=50) sheep breeds. two restriction fragment length polymorphism (rflp) analyses were done to determine all genotypes occurring by variations at mnli and rsai restriction sites. the m and c were the most frequent alleles in both of these breeds. the mm genotype was predominant in zel and naeini breeds (0.52 and 0.60, respectively). the ct genotype (0.45) has the highest frequency in zel and the cc genotype (0.44) was predominant in naeini breed. the mmct genotype was identified with the highest frequency of 0.25. there were no significant differences between melatonin receptor 1a (mtnr 1a) genotypes and litter size in naeini ewes. but it seems that selection of animals with mm and mm genotypes can progress mean litter size in zel breed. the positive effect of mc and mt alleles was significant on lambing rate in zel and naeini breeds. however, the mmct genotype has considerably greater mean litter size than the other ones. finally, the mtnr 1a polymorphism can explain only a small part of the genetic variability on seasonal sexual activity between these breeds. therefore, the implication of other genes must be noticed.

Growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) belong to the superfamily of transforming growth factor β that is highly expressed in growing ovarian follicles of oocyte, and it has been strongly related to fecundity traits in sheep. Therefore, the GDF9 gene could serve as a genetic marker for improvement of reproductive performance in sheep. Therefore, the aim of this study was to invest...
متن کاملAssociation of Melatonin Receptor 1A Gene Polymorphisms with Production and Reproduction Traits in Zandi Sheep
Melatonin regulates some major physiological processes such as maturation and function of reproductive system, pubertal development, seasonal reproduction and adaptation. The activation of melatonin hormone is mediated by melatonin receptor. Previous studies showed melatonin receptor 1A gene (MTNR1A) is highly polymorphic in seasonally breeding species. The aim of the present study was detectio...

Sixty eight adult ewes of Zel sheep breed were screened with forced PCR RFLP method for the detection of the FecB gene and its effects on litter size. Genomic DNA was extracted from the blood of 68 Zel matured ewes with litter size varied from 1 to 2 lambs per ewe lambing. Digestion of the FecB gene (190 base pairs) with AvaII restriction enzyme resulted in none carrier 190 bp band wild type in...

The genotypes of the melatonin receptor 1A (MTNR1A) were determined by PCR-RFLP in the native Iranian Shall and karakul breeds of sheep . Blood samples were collected from 60 karakul and 50 Shall breeds. Genomic DNA was extracted based on the Guanidin Thiocyanate-slica gel method. After PCR reaction, PCR products were digested by the Mnl1 restriction enzyme. The MTNR1A locus had two genotypes ...
