Abstract: 260 purebred Rugao Yellow hens were used to analyze the association of the single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs) in follicle stimulate hormone receptor (FSHR) gene with the reproductive traits in Rugao Yellow chicken.3 SNPs in the intron 2 of FSHR gene were detected by SELDI-TOF.The results showed that the mutation of C+29329A was significantly associated with the age of the first egg(AFE),egg weight of 40 w(EW40),the weight of the first egg(FEW)(P<0.05). The polymorphism of C+30582G was just significantly associated with the total number of egg of EN40 (P<0.05).The mutation of G+51411A was significantly associated with the body weight at the first egg(BWFE), AFE and EN40(P<0.05). The results indicated that the FSHR is a potential marker for reproduction traits to be used in conjunction with classic selection methods.
