Abstract: A Anak×Gush resource population including 793 F2 chickens was founded by F2 design to analyze the PPARa gene polymorphism by the PCR-SSCP combined with sequencing techniques.The single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)were found in exon 4 regions of the PPARa.Three kinds of genotypes detected in the resource population were defined as EE, EF and FF by digesting with BspH I restriction endonuclease.Effects of different geno.types on carcass traits were evaluated with SAS8.0 software.Results showed that the polymorphism of loci NC-006088:T32311C in PPARα gene was significantly related to the abdominal fat weight(AFW)and abdominal fat percentage(AFP)(P<0.05), and no significance with carcass weight, subcutaneous fat thickness, fat band width, semi—evisceration weight and evisceration weight(P>0.05).The chickens with the genotype of EE and EF had the higher AFW and AFP than those of FF(P<0.05).while there was no significant difference between the genotype of EE and EF(P>0.05).Result implied that PPARa gene affecting lipometabolism was a good marker for using in marker associated selection program.
