The invention provides an
ictalurus punctatus sex regulation target, a zbtb38
gene knockdown
ictalurus punctatus
sex reversal method and application, and belongs to the technical field of sex regulation. According to the invention, the sex control effective regulation target spot zbtb38
gene is successfully screened out, and the shRNA target spot is designed aiming at the
coding region of the channel
catfish zbtb38
gene, so that compared with
CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats), the shRNA target spot has the characteristics of easiness in death and low success rate, and the expression inhibition of the channel
catfish zbtb38 gene is effectively realized through site-directed gene knock-down. According to the method, the ietalurus punetaus
sex reversal model is successfully established, all-female reversed fishes and
hermaphrodite reversed fishes are obtained, the method has important value for sex determination mechanism research of the ietalurus punetaus, optimization of an all-male breeding strategy can be reversely guided, a scientific basis is provided for all-male group breeding and breeding
cost optimization, and the method has wide application prospects. And finally, the high-quality development of the
ictalurus punctatus breeding industry is promoted.
