The invention belongs to the technical field of
biology, and particularly relates to application of
hepcidin expression quantity in
larimichthys crocea liver as
larimichthys crocea visceral white-spot
disease resistance evaluation index and a construction method. The
hepcidin expression quantity in the
larimichthys crocea liver is applied as the larimichthys crocea visceral white-spot
disease resistance evaluation index. The construction method of the resistance evaluation index comprises the following steps: taking healthy small yellow croaker
intraperitoneal injection pseudomonas proteinus strain bacterial liquid, and determining a half
lethal dose in 96 hours; the method comprises the following steps: injecting a half
lethal dose of bacterial liquid of
pseudomonas proteinus strains into the
abdominal cavity of healthy small yellow croaker for 96 hours, and after infection, taking different tissues to carry out
hepcidin gene expression fluorescent
quantitative PCR analysis; a regression model of
gene expression quantity and bacterium loading quantity is established through
fluorescence quantification, and the relationship between hepcidin expression quantity and
disease resistance is constructed. Accurate disease-
resistant phenotype information is provided for development of breeding of visceral white-spot disease-resistant improved varieties of the small yellow croakers, the accuracy of disease-resistant breeding is promoted,
early detection of diseases is realized, and prevention and treatment of the diseases are effectively guided.
