Figure 1From: Quantitative analysis of bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15) and growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) gene expression in calf and adult bovine ovariesmRNA expression of BMP15 and GDF9 in bovine tissues by RT-PCR. Total RNAs were extracted from liver (Li), kidney (Kid), heart (He), spleen (Sp), lung, (Lu) ovarian (Ov), and pituitary (Pit) tissues. Signal produced by BMP15 primers (377-bp) was only detected in the ovarian tissues. Signals produced by GDF9 primers (401-bp) were detected in the ovarian and pituitary tissues.Back to article page
