Expression of seasonality in Merinos d’Arles ewes of different genotypes at theMT1melatonin receptor gene

Spontaneous ovulatory activity (SOA) in spring has been used to study the out-of-season breeding ability of Merinos d’Arles (MA) ewes. Within this breed, an association was found between more intense seasonality and genotype −/− at aMnlI restriction site (allele − for its absencev.+ for its presence...
