Abstract
Lao Pa Koi (LPK) chicken is a popular fighting breed in Thailand, prized for (its unique characteristics acquired by selective breeding), and a valuable model for exploring the genetic diversity and admixture of red junglefowls and domestic chickens. In this study, genetic structure and diversity of LPK chicken were assessed using 28 microsatellite markers and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) D-loop sequences, and the findings were compared to a gene pool library from "The Siam Chicken Bioresource Project". High genetic variability was observed in LPK chickens using mtDNA D-loop haplotype analysis, and six haplotypes were identified. Microsatellite data revealed 182 alleles, with an average of 6.5 alleles per locus. These results confirmed the occurrence of genetic admixture of red junglefowl and Thai domestic chickens in LPK chicken breed. A maximum entropy modeling approach was used to analyze the spatial suitability and to assess the adaptive evolution of LPK chickens in diverse local environments. The model identified 82.52% of the area studied as unsuitable, and 9.34%, 7.11%, and 2.02% of the area indicated moderate, low, and high suitability, respectively. The highest contribution rate to land suitability for LPK chickens was found at an elevation of 100-250 m, suggesting the importance of elevation for their potential distribution. The results of this study provide valuable insights into the genetic origin of LPK chicken breed and identify resources for future genetic improvement.

Komiyama T. Effects of Genetic Mutation Sites in ADR Genes on Modern Chickens Produced and Domesticated by Artificial Selection. BIOLOGY 2023; 12:biology12020169. [PMID: 36829448 PMCID: PMC9952598 DOI: 10.3390/biology12020169] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2022] [Revised: 01/11/2023] [Accepted: 01/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2023]
Abstract
Associations between neurotransmitters, adrenergic receptor (ADR) mutations, and behaviors in chickens produced and domesticated by artificial selection remain unclear. This study investigates the association of neurotransmitters and ADR mutations with egg laying and cockfighting-behaviors associated with significantly different breeding backgrounds-in Shaver Brown and Shamo chickens. Accordingly, the whole sequences of nine ADR genes were determined, and nine amino acid-specific mutation sites from five genes (ADRα1A: S365G, ADRα1D: T440N, ADRα2A: D273E, ADRβ1: N443S, S445N, ADRβ3: R342C, Q404L, and P406S) were extracted. Evolutionary analysis showed that these mutations were not ancestrally derived. These results confirm that the mutations at these sites were artificially selected for domestication and are breed specific. NST population analysis confirmed a difference in the degree of genetic differentiation between the two populations in seven genes. The results further confirm differences in the degree of genetic differentiation between the two populations in Shaver Brown (ADRA1B and ADRA1D) and Shamo (ADRA1A and ADRA2B) chickens, indicating that the ADR gene differs between the two breeds. The effects of artificial selection, guided by the human-driven selection of desirable traits, are reflected in adrenaline gene mutations. Furthermore, certain gene mutations may affect domestication, while others may affect other traits in populations or individuals.
