genetic diversity of cattle in south china as revealed by blood protein electrophoresis. | genetic variation of 31 blood protein loci in 236 cattle from eight south china populations (including mithan, bos frontalis) and a holstein population was investigated by means of horizontal starch gel electrophoresis. thirteen loci (alb, car, hb-b, np, pgm, amy-i, pep-b, akp, 6pgd, cp, pa, esd, and tf) were found to be polymorphic. the comparison of average heterozygosities (h) shows that all the native cattle embrace a rich genetic diversity. our results on protein polymorphism suggest that c ... | 1999 | 10624516 |
