The invention discloses an SNP
molecular marker for identifying the
brood amount of female sturgeons and application of the SNP
molecular marker, and belongs to the field of
sturgeon genetic breeding and
sturgeon molecular marker-assisted breeding. The SNP molecular marker for identifying the
brood amount of the female
sturgeon is located at the 117bp position of a GnA
gene nucleotide sequence fragment; the polymorphic form of the SNP site is C / A, and the
genotype of the SNP site comprises CC, CA or AA. Wherein the female individuals with the
genotype of AA belong to low-
brood-amount individuals, and the female individuals with the genotypes of CC and CA belong to high-brood-amount individuals. The molecular marker provided by the invention can be used for early-stage artificial screening of female sturgeon brood quantity characters, screening can be carried out in various female sturgeon groups such as acipenser schrenckii, Huso dauricus, acipenser sibiricum and
hybrid sturgeons, and the artificial breeding process of sturgeon varieties with high brood quantity can be remarkably accelerated.
