Abstract: The review summarized research progress on genetics and breeding in domestic and international rabbit in 2018,which mainly included traditional breeding,molecular breeding,and reproductive techniques.Selection effect and trait evaluation,interaction between heredity and environment and measurement of germplasm performance were mainly studied in traditional breeding,while related genes on growth,meat quality,fur and reproduction were mainly researched in molecular breeding.In addition,the studies of rabbit reproduction techniques referred to semen freezing and effects of additives and environment to rabbit reproduction.More researches on traditional breeding and molecular breeding of rabbits were performed at home,domestic traditional breeding mainly included measurement and comparison of genetic performance about native breed,domestic molecular breeding mainly included the researches of meat quality,fur and reproduction trait,and obtained new molecular markers and genes related to meat quality,fur and reproduction traits.However,relatively few researches were found in propagation technology of rabbits.While the research of traditional breeding abroad mainly focuses on selection and trait evaluation,interaction between heredity and environment;Molecular breeding mainly focuses on filtering molecular markers regulating growth,meat quality and reproduction,but relatively insufficient studies focusing on fur were found at abroad.Molecular breeding abroad mainly used traditional research methods to filter molecular markers and research the function of genes,while high-throughput sequencing technology was mostly used to screen genes and regulatory networks important for the studied traits in China.The author summarized the differences in domestic and international rabbit breeding in 2018 and provided references for rabbit breeding in later research.
