Effect of season on the in-vitro maturation and developmental competence of buffalo oocytes after somatic cell nuclear transfer

Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is a valuable technology tool with various uses in transgenic animals, regenerative medicine, and stem cell research. However, the efficiency of SCNT embryos appears to have poor developmental competency. Environmental issues may adversely affect SCNT embryos in...

Zusammenfassung:Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is a valuable technology tool with various uses in transgenic animals, regenerative medicine, and stem cell research. However, the efficiency of SCNT embryos appears to have poor developmental competency. Environmental issues may adversely affect SCNT embryos in buffalo. Thereafter, the present study aimed to explore the effect of season on the maturation of buffalo oocytes and subsequent developmental capability after parthenogenetic activation and SCNT in buffalo. Buffalo oocytes ( n  = 6353) were collected from local slaughterhouse at various seasons; spring (March–April), summer (May–August), autumn (September–November), and winter (December–January). A significant increase ( p
