Marker-assisted breeding of a lymphocystis disease-resistant Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus)

Abstract excerpt

An allele of a microsatellite, Poli9-8TUF, has a dominant effect at a single major locus and is responsible for resistance to lymphocystis disease (LD-R) in Japanese flounder. We developed a new population of Japanese flounder produced by marker-assisted breeding using this allele. A female that originated from the KP-B inbred line with LD-R that was homozygous for the favorable allele (B-favorable) and a male fro...
