Simple Summary As an important regulator factor, which was secreted by female oocytes,
the growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) plays an essential role during the growth and …

Abstract Growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) gene is an effective intra-ovarian regulator; it
plays a crucial role in early folliculogenesis in female mammals. The non synonymous …

The exons 1, 2 and flanking region of growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF 9) gene in five
randomly selected does of Jining Grey, Boer and Liaoning Cashmere goats were amplified …

Growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) is expressed in oocytes and is thought to be required
for ovarian folliculogenesis. Given this function, GDF9 may be considered as a candidate …

Litter size is one of the most important traits in goat production and breeding. The most
common and presumed single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) detected in the Growth …

In this study, we investigated the relationship between the genetic polymorphism of growth
differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) genes and the litter size in 384 individuals of five breeds of …

The growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) gene, a candidate gene for high prolificacy in
livestock, regulates several key granulosa cell enzymes involved in cumulus expansion in …

Growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) is a high-fertility candidate gene that plays a crucial
role in early folliculogenesis in female mammals. In this study, direct sequencing was used …

Simple Summary GDF9 and BMPR1B are two important reproduction genes. In this study,
the whole coding region of GDF9 was sequenced, of which the mutations were detected in …

Abstract Growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF 9) was studied as a candidate gene for high
prolificacy in goats. The polymorphism of exon 1 and flanking of GDF 9 gene was detected …
