Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of animal molecular biology DNA marker technology and applications, and specifically relates to an SNP molecular marker related to the straight-line motility rate of sperm in fresh semen of Fujian local rabbit breeds, a primer pair for detecting the aforementioned SNP marker, the use of the primer pair of the aforementioned SNP marker in the conservation of Fujian local rabbit resources, and a method for detecting the straight-line motility rate of fresh semen of Fujian local rabbit breeds. Background Art

[0002] Fujian Province is located in a mountainous and hilly area. Due to its unique geographical conditions, multiple meat rabbit breed populations have been formed, mainly including three breeds: Fujian Yellow Rabbit, Southwest Fujian Black Rabbit, and Fujian White Rabbit. These local rabbit breeds are deeply favored by local Fujian people for their characteristics such as being able to tolerate roughage, having excellent meat quality, wide adaptability, and strong disease resistance, and have become essential dishes in local weddings, funerals, and other activities. However, with social development, Fujian local rabbit breeds are facing multiple threats and urgently need to take effective germplasm resource conservation measures to prevent them from gradually disappearing over time.

[0003] As an important local agricultural resource in Fujian, local rabbit breeds have unique genetic characteristics and adaptability. However, due to factors such as the impact of foreign breeds and changes in the ecological environment, their numbers have gradually decreased, and their genetic diversity is threatened, urgently needing protection and utilization. Semen cryopreservation technology, as an effective means of germplasm resource conservation, can long-term preserve the genetic information of excellent breeding rabbits. However, due to the low quality of fresh semen of Fujian local rabbit breeds, the quality of the produced frozen semen is generally low, not meeting the requirements for long-term preservation of livestock and poultry resources. Therefore, it is necessary to select high-quality fresh semen for frozen semen production. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) molecular markers provide a scientific basis for the selection of breeding rabbits with high-quality fresh semen. By screening gene loci related to excellent production performance, molecular marker-assisted selection can be achieved, improving the efficiency of frozen semen production for breeding rabbits. The conservation of germplasm resources is of great significance for maintaining ecological balance, ensuring food safety, and promoting the sustainable development of agriculture. Traditional conservation methods have limitations, while modern technical means such as semen cryopreservation can effectively preserve genetic information, providing support for future utilization and conservation, reducing the risk of extinction of local rabbit breeds, and helping to breed new varieties. Molecular marker-assisted selection technology solves the problem of low straight-line motility rate of sperm in fresh semen of local livestock and poultry resources, improving the efficiency of frozen semen production. Therefore, carrying out the work of semen SNP molecular marker selection for Fujian local rabbit resources has important practical significance for promoting the sustainable development of the rabbit industry and protecting biodiversity.

[0004] The development of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) molecular marker technology provides new ideas and methods for selecting fresh semen sperm rabbits with high straight-line motility. SNP markers are one of the DNA molecular markers with polymorphisms generated by single nucleotide variations in gene sequences, and have the advantages of wide distribution, genetic stability, and suitability for high-throughput automated analysis. By screening SNP molecular markers closely related to the trait of high straight-line motility of fresh semen sperm of Fujian local rabbit breeds, molecular marker-assisted selection can be achieved, thereby improving the efficiency of frozen semen production. However, at present, the effective SNP molecular markers for semen selection of Fujian local rabbit resources are still limited, and relevant research and exploration work needs to be further carried out.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0039] Figure 1 It is the genotyping map of the SNP locus related to the straight-line motility rate of fresh semen sperm of Fujian local breed rabbits of the present invention. Detailed implementation mode

[0040] The present invention provides an SNP molecular marker related to the straight-line motility rate of sperm in fresh semen of Fujian local breeding rabbits. This SNP molecular marker is the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID No: 1 (with a full length of 251 bases). At the 77th base from the 5' end, it is represented by M, and M represents C or G. The nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID No: 1 is as follows:

[0041] 5’-CGGAGGACTTCTCAGAGGGGCGGCTCCGGGCTGCGCGGCTGGCGC TCGCGCAACTCCGCCGGGCACGCGGGGCGGAMGCTCTTGGGCCGGTCTGTCGCTGGAGGCCGCTCTGAGAGGGGCGCGGGTCCCGCTGGCCCGACGAGAGCCCGGGGCGGGTTTGGGGGCTCGCGGAGCAAGGAGGCTTCCGGACCCCAGCCGAAGTTCGTGATGGGGGAGGGGGTGAGCGTGCCCCGGCACGGATGAAGTCATTG-3’(SEQ ID NO:1).

[0042] The inventors found that the straight-line motility rate of sperm in fresh semen of Fujian local breeding rabbits with the homozygous CC genotype at this locus is significantly lower than that of Fujian local breeding rabbits with the homozygous GG and heterozygous CG genotypes at this locus. By detecting the above SNP of Fujian local breeding rabbits, the straight-line motility rate of their fresh semen sperm can be effectively determined. Specifically, as described above, the straight-line motility rate of sperm in fresh semen of Fujian local breeding rabbits with the homozygous CC genotype at this SNP locus is significantly lower than that of Fujian local breeding rabbits with the homozygous GG or heterozygous CG genotypes at this locus. For example, when the genotype of this SNP locus is CC, it can be determined that the Fujian local breeding rabbit to be tested belongs to an individual with a low straight-line motility rate of sperm in fresh semen.

[0066] Take 5 μL of each PCR amplification product and transfer it to the same U-shaped trough for mixing. Take 200 ul of the mixture and transfer it to a round-bottom centrifuge tube. Vortex and shake for 30 seconds, then fix the centrifuge tube and shake it overnight on a shaker. Load the mixed library for electrophoresis, recover the gel block containing the target fragment after electrophoresis, and recover it with a purification kit. The recovered product is temporarily stored at 4°C.

[0067] 4. Genotyping and Analysis

[0072] Among them, Y ijkl is the trait observation value, μ is the mean value, G i is the genotype effect, B j is the breed effect, P k is the batch effect, and e ijkl is the random error. The analysis results are verified using Bonferrroni multiple comparisons, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0073] Table 1 results show that the difference in the mean value of the straight-line motility rate of fresh semen sperm between individuals with the CC genotype and those with the GG genotype and CG genotype reaches an extremely significant level (P < 0.01). Furthermore, it is proven that the 77th base C or G from the 5'-end of the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID No:1 is significantly correlated with the straight-line motility rate of fresh semen sperm in Fujian local rabbit breeds (P < 0.01), and it is an SNP marker related to the straight-line motility rate of fresh semen sperm in Fujian local rabbit breeds. The straight-line motility rate of fresh semen sperm in individuals with the CC genotype of this SNP marker is significantly lower than that in individuals with the GG genotype and CG genotype.
