Effect of oocyte mitochondrial DNA haplotype on bovine somatic cell nuclear transfer efficiency
The development capability of reconstructed bovine embryos via ovum pick‐up (OPU)‐somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) technique has been influenced by the maternal lineage of oocyte cytoplasm, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear.

Summary: | The development capability of reconstructed bovine embryos via ovum pick‐up (OPU)‐somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) technique has been influenced by the maternal lineage of oocyte cytoplasm, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Since mitochondria are the richest maternal‐inherited organelle, in this study, we intended to clarify the effect of mtDNA haplotypes on cloning efficiency. By PCR‐RFLP method, we identified mtDNA haplotypes A and B, differing in six restriction sites. Reconstructed embryos with haplotype A cytoplast achieved better fusion and blastocyst formation rate (64.6% and 39.4%), as compared with haplotype B (53.6% and 26.3%; P |
