[Analysis of POU1F1 gene polymorphisms in Qinchuan cattle and Chinese Holstein cattle].

PCR-RFLP was applied to analyze the polymorphisms of POU1F1 gene in 218 Qinchuan cattle (QQ) and Chinese Holstein cattle (HC). Results demonstrated Hinf I polymorphisms in the 451 bp PCR product in the two populations. The frequencies of alleles A/B in QQ and HC populations were 0.232/0.768 and 0.132/0.868, respectively. The frequencies of three genotypes AA, AB and BB were 0.030/0.403/0.567 and 0.007/0.251/0.742, respectively. Qinchuan cattle population was at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium at this locus, but Chinese Holstein cattle population was not. The gene heterozygosity/effective allele gene number/Shannon information entropy/polymorphism information content of Qinchuan cattle and Chinese Holstein cattle populations were listed for 0.356/1.553/0.541/0.292 and 0.229/1.297/0.390/0.203, respectively. All indices were higher in the Qinchuan cattle population.

[Polymorphism Analysis of the CSN1S2 Gene Digested.].

PCR-RFLP was applied to analyze the polymorphism of CSN1S2 gene in 170 goats that comprised of five goat breeds, namely Xinong Saanen dairy goat, Guanzhong dairy goat, Shaannan white goat, Angora goat and Boer goat. A 310 bp -long PCR product was digested with Alw26I and demonstrated polymorphism in five goat populations that were all at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P>0.05). For Xinong Saanen dairy goat, Guanzhong dairy goat, Shaannan white goat, Angora goat and Boer goat, gene heterozygosity/effective allele gene number/Shaanon information entropy /Polymorphism information content were 0.1589/1.1889/0.2955/0.1463, 0.4114/1.6981/0.6017/0.5171, 0.1653/1.1980/0.3046/0.1516, 0646/1.0691/0.1463/ 0.0625, 0.0541/1.0572/0.1270/ 0.0526, respectively. According to the heredity diversity indexes described above of the five goat breeds, Guanzhong dairy goat had the most abundant heredity diversity and showed high polymorphism, and Xinong Saanen dairy goat and Shaannan white goat were inferior, while Angora goat and Boer goat had the lowest genetic variability.

[The effect of CSN1 S2, CSN3 and beta-lg genes on milk performance in Xinong Saanen dairy goat].

PCR-RFLP technique was applied to analyze correlation between the polymorphisms of CSN1 S2 (alpha(s2) casein), CSN3 (kappa casein) and beta-lg (beta-lactoglobulin) genes and milk performance in 69 individuals of Xinong Saanen dairy goat. The results showed that there was significant correlation between different genotypes of CSN1 S2 locus and milk yield:average milk yield of individuals with genotype FF was less than that of genotype NN (P < 0.05); the second lactation milk yield of individuals with genotype NN was over 90 kg higher than that with genotype FF (P < 0.01). This indicates that allele F of CSN1 S2 locus probably has significant negative effect on milk yield. The results of CSN3 gene digested with endonuclease Hind III cleavage showed that no significant difference of milk yield between genotype DE and genotype EE was detected in first, second, third and fourth lactation milk yield and average milk yield (P > 0.05). The results of CSN3 gene with endonuclease Taq I cleavage showed that no significant difference of milk yield among individuals with genotype TT, TC and CC was detected (P > 0.05). No polymorphism was detected in PCR products of CSN3 gene digested with endonuclease Hae III. The analysis of beta-lg gene's 5' flanking region (710 bp) by PCR-RFLP in Xinong Saanen dairy goat showed that milk yield of individuals with genotype AA was higher than that with genotype AB in second, third lactation milk yield and average milk yield (P < 0.05). The results implied that allele A of beta-lg gene's 5' flanking region is probably related to high milk yield.
