(A) The F2 resource population was constructed by reciprocal intercrosses between Xinghua indigenous chickens and White Rock chickens. A total of 450 birds were measured for growth performance and carcass characteristics. (B) Association analysis between different genotypes (DD, homozygous deletion type; ID, heterozygous type; II, homozygous insertion type) and chicken body weight in the F2 designed resource population (XH & WRR). (C) Association analysis between different genotypes (DD, ID or II) and chicken shank length in the F2 designed resource population (XH & WRR). (D) Association analysis between different genotypes (DD, ID or II) and chicken shank diameter in the F2 designed resource population (XH & WRR). The numbers of DD, ID and II birds were at least 270, 90 and 55, respectively. The data are presented as Least squares mean (LSM) ± Stand error (SE); *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001.
