[Method] The wing venous blood of Donglan Black-bone chicken（silky feather and contour feather） was collected, and the total DNA was extracted. The 18 microsatellite loci were amplified by PCR technology, and the obtained gene fragments were scanned. The number of alleles（Na）, number of effective alleles（Ne）, heterozygosity（H） and polymorphism information content（PIC） were determined using Pop Gen 32 biological software to do cluster analysis of Guangxi indigenous chicken breeds. [Result] The18 microsatellite loci of Donglan black-bone chicken were found to be highly polymorphic. A total of 98 alleles were detected out from 80 Donglan black-bone chicken samples. The averages of Na, Ne, PIC and H per locus were 5.44, 2.78, 0.5382 and 0.596 3, respectively. A total of 93 and 98 alleles were detected out from silky- and contour-feather Donglan black-bone chickens, respectively. The averages of Ne per locus were 2.62 and 2.76, of PIC per locus were 0.508 8 and 0.539 8,of H per locus were 0.624 7 and 0.599 1, respectively. The results of cluster analysis showed that there was greater genetic distance between Donglan black-bone chicken and any of other Guangxi indigenous chicken breeds, including three yellow chicken, Xiayan chicken and Nandan Yao chicken, which was consistent with the breed evolution, geographical distribution and breeding history of Donglan black-bone chicken. [Conclusion] There are greater genetic variation and abundant genetic diversity in the conserved population of Donglan black-bone chicken, suggesting abundant genetic diversity and great breeding potential of Donglan black-bone chicken.展开更多

According to the results, there were three genotypes （AA, AB and BB） of NPYgene in Donglan black-bone chicken group. Different genotypes exhibited significant effects （P 〈 0. 05 ） on the total number of eggs at 300 days of age. The total number of eggs at 300 days of age of AA genotype was significantly higher than that of BB genotype （P 〈 0. 05）. Therefore, the polymorphic site of NPY gene could be used as a candidate molecular marker that affects egg laying in Donglan black-bone chicken.展开更多

文摘In this study, PCR-RFLP technique was employed to detect the genetic polymorphism of NPY gene and analyze the effects of various genotypes on the total number of eggs at 300 days of age in 135 Donglan black-bone chicken. According to the results, there were three genotypes （AA, AB and BB） of NPYgene in Donglan black-bone chicken group. Different genotypes exhibited significant effects （P 〈 0. 05 ） on the total number of eggs at 300 days of age. The total number of eggs at 300 days of age of AA genotype was significantly higher than that of BB genotype （P 〈 0. 05）. Therefore, the polymorphic site of NPY gene could be used as a candidate molecular marker that affects egg laying in Donglan black-bone chicken.
