Dot plots of Tm values in Wagyu 300 ± 20 DOF in animals homozygous for the 5.24 Mb region MPRIP-TCAP. Wagyu cattle bred on different Australian farms (Goorambat, Irongate Wagyu, Mayura, Rosevale, and Peppermint Grove) were fed for 300 days at Mayura Station, South Australia, and beef/fat samples were assayed for C19 haplotypes and fat melting point Tm as indicated in Materials and Methods. Each dot point represents a different homozygote. Homozygous haplotypes for MPRIP-TCAP region only. Student’s t-test for 30.20 versus 40.20 yields .
