Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in the Leptin‐a Gene and Associations with Growth Traits in the Golden Pompano,Trachinotus blochii

Leptin is a multifunctional protein involved in processes such as body weight (BWT) regulation, food intake, and appetite regulation. In this study, we isolated and cloned the full‐length leptin‐a gene from the golden pompano, Trachinotus blochii. A search for polymorphisms, as well as association analyses between these polymorphisms and 10 growth traits were performed. A total of 10 polymorphisms, consisting of five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in intron 1 (C203T, G252A, C380G, G383C, and G587A), one mutation in exon 2 (T775A), one mutation in exon 3 (G1239A), and three SNPs in the 3′‐untranslated region (G1424A, T1653A, and A1654T) were identified and genotyped in 150 individuals. The C203T and C380G polymorphisms, as well as the G1424A and T1653A polymorphisms, showed complete linkage. Association analyses revealed that the T775A polymorphism was significantly associated with BWT, body height (BWH), body length, and overall length (OL), and genotype TT had negative effects on growth traits. Additionally, the SNP G1239A was significantly associated with BWT, BWH, OL, and head length, with the GA genotype showing positive effects on growth traits. The results indicate that polymorphisms in the leptin‐a gene loci can be used as a selection criterion to improve growth traits in golden pompano.     

Identification of insulin-like growth factor I gene polymorphisms using high-resolution melting and its effect on growth traits in sinipercid species

The aim of this study is to screen single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) gene and analyze the potential association between IGF-I gene polymorphisms and growth traits in a crossing sinipercid population. Two SNPs (g.A321G, g.A537G) within five exons of the IGF-I gene were tested for association with four growth traits in 250 individuals using the high-resolution melting method. The association analysis of SNPs of IGF-I gene with the four growth traits was carried out using General Linear Model estimation. Results indicated that SNP1 in exon3 of the IGF-I gene was significantly associated with body weight (P < 0.05), body length (P < 0.05) and body width (P < 0.05), and SNP2 in exon5 of the IGF-I gene was significantly associated with body weight (P < 0.05), body depth (P < 0.05) and body width (P < 0.05) in a sinipercid population. The individuals of genotype AA or AG in loci SNP1 and SNP2 grew faster than those of genotype GG. Diplotypes did not show significant effects on growth traits. These findings implied that the two SNPs of the IGF-I gene affecting growth traits could be potential quantitative trait nucleotides and would be useful genetic markers in the selection of some growth traits for developing improved culture lines of sinipercid species in China.     

Sequence Variation in the Farnesoic Acid O‐methyltransferase Gene and its Associations with Growth of Shrimp,Penaeus chinensis

The aim of this study is to screen single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the farnesoic acid O‐methyltransferase gene in shrimp, Penaeus chinensis (PcFAMeT), and analyze the potential association between PcFAMeT gene polymorphisms and growth traits in a cultured population. Four SNPs (A163G, G392T, A708G, and T752C) were tested for association with six growth traits in 240 individuals using the polymerase chain reaction‐restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR‐RFLP) method. The association analysis of SNPs of PcFAMeT gene with the six growth traits was carried out using general linear model estimation. Results indicated that SNP2 (G392T) of the PcFAMeT gene was significantly associated with body weight (P < 0.05) and carapace width (P < 0.05). The individuals of genotype GG grew faster than those of genotype GT and TT. The results would provide potential application in future shrimp breeding programs and may be used to improve the efficiency in shrimp, P. chinensis, breeding programs.     

Polymorphisms and haplotypes of the myostatin gene associated with growth in juvenile red sea bream Pagrus major

Polymorphisms of the myostatin gene (MSTN) have been studied in vertebrates including several aquaculture species, revealing their role in growth. We attempted to identify polymorphisms in MSTN associated with growth traits of juvenile farmed red sea bream Pagrus major, an important cultured fish species in Japan. Polymorphisms in the coding region of MSTN were screened, and six polymorphisms were found among three exons: a deletion in exon 1, a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in exon 2 and four SNPs in exon 3. The deletion in exon 1 eliminated a codon (glutamine) from the region comprising the polyglutamine structure, but all SNPs were synonymous. We analysed the polymorphisms for association with growth phenotype in large and small P. major specimens obtained from commercial production at 50 days post hatching. Two SNPs located in exon 3 (c.+846T>C and c.+1140T>C) were significantly more frequent in the large group, while no SNPs were significantly associated with the small phenotype. Haplotypes were reconstructed using genotype information of the two phenotype groups, and nine haplotypes (Hap_1 to Hap_9) were successfully reconstructed. Hap_6 and Hap_7 were significantly more often observed in small and large groups respectively. Analysis of diplotypes (haplotype combinations) of individual specimens revealed 19 diplotypes. The Hap_7/Hap_7 diplotype was found in 46.7% of large phenotype specimens, significantly more frequently than in the small group (13.5%). These results will be useful for marker‐assisted selection of red sea bream to improve production with respect to growth.
