Short summary
This study investigated the coding sequence (CDS) of the GnRH gene in the ovary of Duolang sheep and the expression of GnRH mRNA in different tissues at the onset of puberty and analyzed the effect of GnRH agonists on ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) of Duolang sheep. The role of GnRH in sheep ovaries at the onset of puberty was elucidated.
