Abstract:

【Background】Water-holding capacity of chicken meat is an important index to evaluate meat quality, which directly affects meat tenderness, juiciness, processing loss and commodity value. As a high-quality local chicken breed in Northeast China, Lindian chicken is characterized by strong stress resistance and good meat flavor, but the genetic basis of its breast muscle water-holding capacity traits is still unclear.【Objective】The purpose of this study was to analyze the genetic mechanism of breast muscle water-holding capacity in Lindian chicken based on genome-wide association analysis (GWAS), and to explore relevant molecular markers and candidate genes, so as to provide a theoretical basis for molecular breeding.【Method】In this study, a total of 441 male Lindian chickens at 150 days of age were used. Blood samples were collected from the wing vein, after which the chickens were slaughtered and the left pectoral muscles were collected for the measurement of drip loss, cooking loss, and pressing loss. Genotype data were obtained by 10 × whole genome resequencing, and a high-quality SNP set was obtained by FASTP quality control, BWA alignment, GATK variant calling and PLINK screening. Principal component analysis was used to evaluate the population structure, and significant principal components were incorporated into the model as covariates. Based on GEMMA software, linear mixed model and multivariate linear mixed model were used for single-trait and multi-trait GWAS, respectively, and Bonferroni correction was used to determine the genome-wide significance threshold. The genes in the 40 kb region upstream and downstream of the significant SNPs were annotated, and combined with GO annotation and KEGG enrichment analysis, the biological functions and regulatory networks of candidate genes were systematically analyzed.【Result】The average drip loss, cooking loss and pressing loss of breast muscle of Lindian chicken were 2.92 %, 20.14 % and 18.73 %, respectively, and the phenotypes of the three were approximately normally distributed. Correlation analysis showed that there was a significant positive correlation between the three water-holding capacity traits. The correlation coefficient between drip loss and pressing loss was 0.996 (P < 0.001), the correlation coefficient between cooking loss and pressing loss was 0.975 (P < 0.001), and the correlation coefficient between drip loss and cooking loss was 0.964 (P < 0.001). A total of 28 SNPs significantly associated with water-holding capacity were identified by single-trait GWAS, of which 7 SNPs significantly associated with drip loss were annotated to ADTRP and EXT1 genes. Seven SNPs significantly associated with cooking loss were annotated to SLC25A21, CMPK1, CIB2 and DPY19L3 genes. The 14 SNPs significantly associated with pressing loss were annotated to 6 genes, including PCDH9, NUDT13, CDH2 and CALN1. A total of 28 SNPs significantly associated with breast muscle water-holding capacity were identified and annotated to 9 genes such as ILDR1, EXT1, and SLC25A21. Combining the two analysis results, it was found that EXT1, CMPK1, SLC25A21 and CDH2 were identified in both single-trait and multi-trait GWAS. Functional enrichment analysis showed that candidate genes were mainly enriched in functional items and signaling pathways such as nucleotide metabolism, intercellular adhesion regulation, glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis-heparan sulfate / heparin pathway, nucleotide metabolism pathway and cell adhesion molecules.【Conclusion】In this study, combined single-trait and multi-trait GWAS identified EXT1, CMPK1, SLC25A21 and CDH2 as candidate genes associated with breast muscle water-holding capacity in Lindian chickens. These genes may serve as important candidate genes for improving breast muscle water-holding capacity in Lindian chicken breeding.
