Correlation analysis of microsatellite DNA markers and morphological traits in German mirror carp (Cyprinus carpio L.)

Abstract:

Microsatellites DNA markers were used to detect their genotypes of 189 individuals in two German mirror carp(Cyprinus carpio L.) populations which had a significant difference in morphological traits.General linear model(GLM) was used to analyze the effects of these 15 microsatellites on body weight,body length,body depth,caudal peduncle length,caudal peduncle depth,head length and head depth.Results showed that MFW1 had a significant impact on body weight and body length,and had a very significant impact o...
