Abstract: 【Objective】Correlations between SNP of cashmere goat melatonin receptor (MTNR) gene and cashmere-producing traits were studied to find molecular marker of MAS for molecular breeding.【Method】 Arbas white cashmere goats and partial sequences of MTNR1a and 1b genes were used as experimental samples and candidate genes, respectively. PCR-SSCP and DNA sequencing technologies were conducted to detect their single nucleotide polymorphism. Results were analyzed by least square mean (LSM) among production traits of genotypes.【Result】 There was no SSCP in the exons 1 and 2 of MTNR1a gene and the exon 1 of MTNR1b gene, while there was the SSCP in the exon 2 of MTNR1b gene and three of SNP were detected. P4 primer loci existed in C-G mutation of NM_001206907:g.648 bp which didn’t result in change of amino acid, and G-A mutation of NM_001206907:g.665 bp which led to CGC-CAC of the 223rd codon from Arg into His. The results showed that polymorphism loci had an significant effect on cashmere yield (P<0.05), and cashmere yield of AA genotype increased by 98.78 g and 148.23 g, as compared to AB and BB, respectively. Meanwhile, there was a significant correlation (P<0.05) in interaction effect between the polymorphism loci genotype and age cashmere thickness. P5 primer loci existed in G-A mutation of NM_001206 907:g.1015 bp which led to GGC-AGC of the 339th codon from Gly into Ser. The analyses indicated that interaction effect of the polymorphism loci genotype and age was the marginal significant correlation (P<0.1) with cashmere fineness. P4 and P5 primes locus were not significantly (P>0.05) with kidding number and birth weight.【Conclusion】P4-AA genotype can be used as molecular marker of MAS for cashmere-producing traits of Inner Mongolian Arbas white cashmere goats.
