Abstract
An analysis of cleavage patterns of mtDNA by restriction endonuclease was performed for fifteen Yunnan native cattle, two Kunming black and white cow, and one mithun (Bos frontalis). Two types of mtDNA molecule were detected in Yunnan native cattle: five individuals showed the type of yellow cattle (Bos taurus), the other ten showed that of zebu cattle (Bos indicus), suggesting their European and zebu origins. The mtDNA in Kunming black and white cow also consists of two restriction types. The mithun mtDNA showed the type of zebu cattle, indicating the close relationship between the origins of mithun and zebu cattle.Entities:
