Table 2. Growth traits of Zhikong scallops in a full-sib family with respect to genotypes at SNP c. 1815C>T in the Tgfbr1 gene.
Genotype | N | GF | SL | SH | BW | STW | SMW* |
CC | 16 | 33.3 | 50.77±3.33a | 55.74±3.37a | 20.77±3.63 | 8.23±1.61 | 2.33±0.62a |
CT | 26 | 54.2 | 52.79±3.83ab | 57.67±3.15ab | 22.05±4.09 | 8.48±1.49 | 2.47±0.54ab |
TT | 6 | 12.5 | 54.79±2.47b | 59.58±3.41b | 24.12±2.23 | 9.25±1.21 | 3.02±0.47b |
N, number of scallops; GF, genotype frequency (%); SL, shell length (mm); SH, shell height (mm); BW, body weight (g); STW, soft tissue weight (g); SMW, striated muscle weight (g). The growth traits are given as the mean ± standard deviation. The values with different superscripts within each column are significantly different (P<0.05). *, after Bonferroni correction, significant difference (p = 0.033) was detected between CC and TT genotype for SMW values.
