abstract

myostatin gene or growth and differentiation factor-8 inhibits the puberty and development of skeletal muscles and it could change the size of some muscles such as double muscle, if the mutation occurs. one of the most important indigenous sheep in iran, lori sheep, possess high genetic potential for meat production. therefore, the study of some genes affecting meat production would be of utmost important in selection programs. a total of 50 lori sheep have been randomly selected and blood sampling was done to investigate the polymorphism of myostatin gene and its relation to some economical traits including birth weight, weaning weight and 6-month lambs weight. genomic dna was extracted by the denazyst kit. dna quantity and quality was estimated by using espectophotometry and agarose electrophoresis. the specific primers were designed to assess the presence of potential polymorphism and then target area was amplified. after confirmation of 373bp fragment from exon 3 of myostatin gene on the agarose gel, the genotype determination was performed using restriction enzyme haeііі. the results showed that the mm and mm genotypes were detected in the samples. the frequency of m and m alleles was 8.75 % and 91.25 %, respectively. no significant relationship was observed between genotypes of myostatin gene and growth traits, except of the birth weight. in conclusion, the myostatin locus could not considered as a promising marker for growth traits in lori sheep.

Polymorphism of the myostatin gene and its association with growth traits in chicken.

An experiment was carried out on myostatin gene with the objectives of identification of polymorphism in the myostatin gene and estimation of the effect of polymorphism on growth traits in chickens. Single-stranded conformation polymorphism followed by sequencing was performed to reveal polymorphism of the gene. A total of 13 haplotypes were observed across 3 chicken lines (PB-1 and CB as broil...

Polymorphisms of the Ovine Leptin Gene and its Association with Growth and Carcass Traits in Three Iranian Sheep Breeds

Leptin (LEP), the expression product of the obese gene produced primarily in the adipose tissue, is related to feed intake, growth and lipid metabolism. The aim of this study was to study the possible association between polymorphism of the LEP gene with growth and carcass traits among three Iranian sheep breeds of the Shal, Zandi and Zel varieties. A total of 180 purebred animals of the Shal, ...

study of igf-1 gene polymorphism and its association with growth related traits in sistani cattle

insulin-like growth factor-i (igf-1) is a peptide hormone which is similar in molecular structure to insulin and it is located on chromosome 5 in cattle. since the igf-1 plays an important role in the growth and development of multiple tissues, the purpose of current study was to identify the igf-1 gene polymorphism in sistani beef cattle. a total of 53 sistani beef cattle (one year) were rando...
