Abstract excerpt
Fatty acid (FA) composition is one of the most important parameters for the evaluation of meat quality. The stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) gene is considered a positional candidate gene affecting FA composition in SSC14, based on previous quantitative trait loci studies. To evaluate the association of the SCD gene with FA composition in a Korean native pig × Landrace F(2) intercross population, we genotyped six...
