Title:Quantitative trait locus mapping for meat quality traits in an Iberian xLandrace F2 pig population.
Journal:J Anim Sci, 2002, 80(11):2801-8 DOI: 10.2527/2002.80112801x
Abstract:

An experimental F2 cross between Iberian and Landrace pig strains was performedto map quantitative trait loci (QTL) for diverse productive traits. Here wereport results for meat quality traits from 369 F2 animals with records for pH24 h postmortem (pH 24 h), muscle color Minolta measurements L* (lightness), a*(redness), and b* (yellowness), H* (hue angle), C* (chroma), intramuscular fat(IMF) and haematin pigment content measured in the longissimus thoracis. Pigswere genotyped for 92 markers covering the 18 porcine autosomes (SSC). Resultsof the genome scan show evidence for QTL for IMF (SSC6; F = 27.16), pH 24 h(SSC3; F = 7.73), haematin pigments (SSC4 and SSC7; F = 8.68 and 9.47respectively) and Minolta color measurements L* (SSC4 and SSC7; F =16.42 and7.17 respectively), and a* (SSC4 and SSC8; F = 8.05 and 7.36 respectively). NoQTL were observed for the color measurements b*, H*, and C*. Alternative modelsfitting epistasis between QTL were also tested, but detected epistaticinteractions were not significant at a genome-wise level. In this work weidentify genomic regions related with meat quality traits. Improvement bytraditional selection methods is complicated, and finer mapping would berequired for their application in introgression programs.
