Description

Prolactin gene SNP molecular marker related to egg laying traits of Muscovy ducks and application thereof

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of biology, in particular to a prolactin gene SNP molecular marker related to egg laying traits of Muscovy ducks and application thereof.

Background

Muscovy duck (Cairina moschata) is a special waterfowl, and domestic ducks come from different genera, which has the advantages of strong heat resistance and high meat yield, but low egg laying performance. The egg laying peak period of the Muscovy ducks is 35-53 weeks, and most of the egg laying period is covered. Although Muscovy ducks are bred in large scale in China, the Muscovy ducks are poor in egg laying performance and lack of systematic breeding, so that the egg laying traits of the Muscovy ducks are uneven, and the productivity and economic benefit of enterprises are affected.

The egg laying character belongs to the low heritability character, and the breeding mode based on character selection has the characteristics of long period, slow breeding progress and difficulty in obtaining obvious effect, so that the improvement of the egg laying performance of the Muscovy ducks is very challenging work. By using the molecular marker related to quantitative traits and taking the marker information as auxiliary information, the genetic composition of an individual can be accurately and quickly analyzed from the molecular level, thereby realizing the selection of genotypes. Moreover, genetic markers, pedigrees and phenotype information are fully utilized, and compared with a conventional breeding method, the method is rich in information amount and high in selection accuracy. Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) refers to a genomic DNA Polymorphism caused by a Single base change such as insertion, deletion, transversion and conversion in a genomic DNA sequence, and has the characteristics of stable inheritance, easy detection and the like. The SNP can be used as Molecular marker information for Molecular marker-assisted Selection (MAS), and the seed Selection accuracy and the breeding effect are improved.

Prolactin (PRL), a polypeptide hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland, has been shown to have a wide variety of biological activities and functions in all vertebrates. The development of hatching behavior in poultry is caused by increased secretion of prolactin, which often leads to ovarian degeneration, and therefore prolactin in birds plays a crucial role in egg production.

Discussion 4

After the white muscovy duck starts to produce, the egg yield rapidly rises to reach the maximum level at the age of 32 weeks, then slowly decreases after the maximum level is maintained for about 5 weeks until the 300-day-old (42-week-old) duck maintains a higher level (figure 2). SNP5 and SNP6 in SNPs obtained from an upstream untranslated region of prolactin are significantly related to the 300-day-old egg production of Muscovy ducks. Before 51 weeks of age, SNP5 had less type CC egg production than type AA, less type AA production than type CA; while 52-58, AA type is more dominant in the week's age and CA type is the least, so AA type has the advantage of high yield. After 42 weeks of age, SNP6 genotype TT and SNP7 genotype II were more dominant than cc (tc) and dd (id). SNP6 and SNP7 have complete linkage and can be filled by detecting a single site.

The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the scope of the present invention, and various modifications and improvements of the technical solutions of the present invention can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and the technical solutions of the present invention are within the scope of the present invention defined by the claims.
