DNA markers in hybrids of female Caspian kutum Rutilus frisii kutum and male grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella: possible production of gynogenic progeny

Hybrids were produced by crossing female Caspian kutum Rutilus frisii kutum with male grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella. The genome of eight larvae and parents were studied using microsatellite markers for genetic evaluation and verification. After DNA extraction from parent fish and progeny, hybrid heritability of two loci was assessed using two pairs of microsatellite primers. Hybridizied offspring showed as similar banding pattern to that of their maternal parent, without heritability of the paternal genome. © 2011 Progress in Biological Sciences, Vol. 1, No.1, 49-54.Hybridizied offspring showed as similar banding pattern to that of their maternal parent, without heritability of the paternal genome. © 2011 Progress in Biological Sciences, Vol. 1, No.1, 49-54
