摘要

Abstract

Gene expression variation can be considered as a phenotype

and it plays an important role in both acclimation and adaption. However

genetic variation of gene expression received much less attention than traditional commercial traits in aquaculture. To estimate the genetic variation and heritability of gene transcription in clam

Meretrix petechialis

five

Vibrio

resistance-related genes were selected for gene expression analysis in the digestive gland

and an animal linear model was used to analyze data from quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Among the five genes

BIRC7

showed significant additive genetic variations

the heritability of this gene of 12-month- and 15-month-old clams were 0.84±0.32 and 0.91±0.34

respectively. The heritability of other four genes (

Bax

NFIL3

Big

Def

and

CTL9

) expression were low-tomoderate but not significantly expressed. Additionally

no significant phenotypic and genetic correlations between the

BIRC7

transcription trait and body size were detected. This study highlights that certain gene expression variation is heritable and provides a reference for indirect selection of

M. petechialis

with high

Vibrio

resistance.
