Figure 4. Association analyses between BCMO1 haplotype and BCMO1 expression or breast meat color.
An examination of the F2 population (Nā=ā373) demonstrated a significant effect of the haplotype on BCMO1 mRNA levels (dCT BCMO1) (a) and BCo-Y parameter (b). The heterozygous birds (AN57A/GN57G) showed intermediate mRNA levels and BCo-Y values.
