| description | The very low density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR) is an important
multifunctional receptor and plays a key role in chicken reproduction. This
study is designed to investigate the effect of variants in the VLDLR gene on quail
laying traits. Two quail populations were studied – yellow feather quail
and chestnut feather quail; 384 individuals per breed were used. The laying
traits (the weight of the first egg, the age of the first egg, egg weight,
the weight of 20-week-old and the egg number of 20-week-old) were measured and
recorded. The polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length
polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was developed to genotype those individuals.
The results showed two novel polymorphisms, i.e. two linkage variations in intron
11 of the VLDLR gene (363T > C and 392C > T). They are
associated with the weight of the first egg, the age of the first egg and
egg number of 20-week-old in yellow feather and chestnut feather quail.
The two variations in intron 11 of VLDLR may be linked with potential major loci
or genes affecting some laying traits. |
