Transplantation of spermatogonial stem cell (SCC) from a thermosensitive breed (e.g. Angus) to the testes of a NANOS2-null thermotolerant breed (e.g. Nelore). SCCs collected from Angus are isolated and expanded in vitro and then transplanted into the seminiferous tubules of NANOS2-null surrogate Nelore male. Beef farmers in the tropics can use surrogate Nelore sires to breed Nelore cows in order to produce Angus x Nelore F1 calves (Camargo et al. 2022)
