Abstract: Polymorphism of the myostatin (MSTN) in improved hybrid beef cattle group from Liupan Mountain area in Ningxia province was investigated to give the rationale for hybrid improvement. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphisms (PCR-RFLP) technology was carried out to examine polymorphisms of MSTN gene of 110 individuals. PCR products of 1346 bp digested by restriction enzyme DraⅠ showed polymorphisms. The frequencies of two genotypes (AT and TT) were 0.0545 and 0.9455. The frequency of T allele was higher than A allele, and frequency of TT genotype was higher than AT genotype. There were two genotypes of MSTN gene in improved hybrid beef cattle group from Liupan Mountain area in Ningxia province.

Key words: beef cattle; myostatin gene; polymorphism
