dc.description.abstract	Minus fleece weight (-FW) selected Merino sheep produce less wool of a higher sulphur (S) concentration than plus fleece weight (+FW) selected sheep (Piper and Dolling, 1966). An experiment was conducted to test the hypotheses that these differences in fibre growth and composition result from differential expression of high-S (HS), ultra high-S (UHS) and low-S (LS) wool keratin genes.
