Abstract excerpt
Ghrelin receptor (GHSR), or growth hormone secretagogue receptor, modulates many physiological effects by binding to its ligand and therefore is a candidate gene for chicken production performance. In this study, five polymorphisms (four SNP and a 'GGTACA' indel) of GHSR gene were genotyped in a F(2) full sib chicken population to investigate their associations with production traits. Results showed that c.739 +...
