Abstract

This paper represents the fundamental report of the survey of genome-wide changes of four Chinese indigenous donkey breeds, Dezhou (DZ), Guangling (GL), North China (NC), and Shandong Little donkey (SDL), and the findings will prove usefully for identification of biomarkers that perhaps predict or characterize the growth and coat color patterns. Three genomic regions in CYP3A12, TUBGCP5, and GSTA1 genes, were identified as putative selective sweeps in all researched donkey populations. The loci of candidate genes that may have contributed to the phenotypes in body size (ACSL4, MSI2, ADRA1B, and CDKL5) and coat color patterns (KITLG and TBX3) in donkey populations would be found in underlying strong selection signatures when compared between large and small donkey types, and between different coat colors. The results of the phylogenetic analysis, FST, and principal component analysis (PCA) supported that each population cannot clearly deviate from each other, showing no obvious population structure. We can conclude from the population history that the formation processes between DZS and NC, GL, and SDL are completely different. The genetic variants discovered here provide a rich resource to help identify potential genomic markers and their associated molecular mechanisms that impact economically important traits for Chinese donkey breeding programs.

Abstract

Wulong geese are renowned for their egg-laying and reproductive abilities. This work investigated the potential of using body size traits in the selection and breeding of high-yielding Wulong geese. A total of forty 479 days-old female geese (high-yielding geese, n=20; low-yielding geese, n=20) were selected to evaluate the relationship between body weight, body size trait indicators, serum reproductive hormones, and biochemical indicators. The results showed that serum estradiol (E2), glucose (GLU), and triglyceride (TG) concentrations, together with pubic spacing and abdominal circumference were significantly higher in high-yielding geese (P<0.01), whereas the opposite was true for neck circumference, neck length, and tibial circumference. In addition, the serum testosterone (T) concentration and body weight were higher in high-yielding geese (P<0.05). Neck circumference and neck length were negatively correlated with E2 and TG (P<0.01); while pubic spacing and abdominal circumference were positively correlated with E2, GLU, and TG (P<0.01), the highest correlation coefficient was 0.777 between TG and pubic spacing; T was also strongly associated with neck circumference (P<0.01). In conclusion, high-yielding Wulong geese can be selected through neck circumference, neck length, pubic spacing, and abdominal circumference.
