Abstract excerpt
The porcine corticotropin-releasing hormone(CRH) gene is a functional-positional candidate for quantitative tract loci on porcine chromosome 4 with major effects on growth and carcass composition. In addition, the central role of CRH in the neuroendocrine response to stress implicates the CRH gene as a functional candidate for meat quality. Association of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the promoter...
