Abstract

Sheep is considered to be short day seasonal breeder. Sheep does show varying behavior in terms of seasonal reproduction between temperate and tropical latitudinal regions. MTNR1A gene has been studied widely for being linked to seasonality in sheep. Recently, through our studies we have characterized the MTNR1A gene in Tropical arid sheep breeds and could find out that the GG and CC genotypes are having higher prevalence in the tropical arid breed populationwith reference to two SNP markers ‘ ‘G612A’ and C606T’ respectively.
