RESUMO

This study was conducted to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting growth traits and growth curve using F2 Holstein x Gyr population. Traits analyzed were birth weight (BW), weaning weights (WW), weight at 205 day (W205), yearling weight (YW), weight at 720 day (W720), average daily gain from birth to weaning weight (ADG0_60), average daily gain from weaning weight to weight at 205 days (ADG60_205), average daily gain from weight at 205 days to yearling weight (ADG205_365), average daily gain from yearling weight to weight at 720 days (ADG365_720), total average daily gain (ADG), and growth curve from birth weight to weight at 720 days (GC). 180 microsatellite markers covering the 29 bovine autosomes and covered 3322 cM were chosen from bovine genetic map. The average marker interval was 22 cM. Twenty eight QTLs detected span ten chromosomes, fifteen QTLs had additive mode, two QTLs had dominance mode and eleven QTLs had overdominance mode of gene action. Suggestive QTL was found for BW on BTA 17 at 1 cM. Also, Suggestive QTL was detected for W205 on BTA 3 at 20 cM. Four suggestive QTLs were found for YW on BTA 3 at 7 cM, on BTA 6 at 134.9 cM, on BTA 12 at 1 cM, and on BTA 22 at 1 cM. For W720, six suggestive QTLs were identified, on BTA 2 at 30 cM, on BTA 3 at 1 cM, on BTA 6 at 44 cM, on BTA 10 at 20 cM, on BTA 12 at 1cM and on BTA 22 at 1 cM. Suggestive QTL was observed for ADG0_60 on BTA 8 at 143 cM. Two suggestive QTLs were reported for ADG60_205 on BTA 3 at 19 cM and on BTA 23 at 19 cM. Suggestive QTL was observed for ADG205_365 on BTA 12 at 7 cM. For ADG365_720, three QTLs were detected. Two QTLs had suggestive effect on BTA 1 at 12 cM and BTA 10 at 22 cM, one significant QTL on BTA 6 at 43 cM. Six suggestive QTLs were found for ADG on BTA 2 at 32 cM, BTA 3 at 1 cM, BTA 6 at 43 cM, BTA 10 at 20 cM, BTA 12 at 1 cM and BTA 22 at 1 cM. Three suggestive QTLs were identified for GC on BTA 2 at 34 cM, BTA 12 at 2 cM and BTA 22 at 3 cM. No QTLs were detected for WW in all chromosomes. There were many pleiotropy effects on BTA 2, 3, 6, 10, 12 and 22 influencing growth traits. There were 22 complexes epistatic effects were detected for five traits YW, W720, GC, ADG365_720 and ADG.
