Table 3. Growth traits of Zhikong scallops in a population with respect to genotypes at SNP c. 1815C>T in the Tgfbr1 gene.
Genotype | N | GF | SL | SH | BW | STW | SMW |
CC | 57 | 29.1 | 46.51±8.30 | 52.34±7.96 | 18.02±7.09 | 7.15±2.78 | 1.90±0.88a |
CT | 112 | 57.1 | 47.08±9.04 | 52.80±8.26 | 18.57±8.32 | 7.28±3.14 | 1.93±0.98a |
TT | 27 | 13.8 | 49.99±6.92 | 54.73±7.00 | 20.79±6.65 | 8.40±2.68 | 1.99±0.95b |
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). Significant difference was detected in SMW values between genotype CC and TT (p = 0.037), and between CT and TT (P = 0.031).
