Abstract excerpt
The thickness of the perimysium has an essential effect on the tenderness of the meat. However, the genetic basis underlying perimysial thickness has not been determined. The objective of this study was to explore the quantitative trait loci (QTL) that influence perimysial thickness in an F2 segregating population generated by Mallard × Pekin duck using the genome-wide association study (GWAS) method. Two QTL...
