Effect of I199V polymorphism on PRKAG3 gene on carcass and meat quality traits in pigs

Research points at the beneficial effect of allele I on meat quality, but adverse on leanness. Due to low incidence of I/I genotype in the majority of modern breeds, there's a lack of information for this genotype, which is provided in the present article. Our results can be of help to pig breeders in search for a compromise between lean meat content and meat quality.

Green ham pH value affects proteomic profile of dry-cured ham

Over 100 protein spots differed in the intensity between group of hams with high and low pH. This points at the importance of the initial pH value in ham for the proteolysis occuring in the drying process.

Association of PRKAG3 and CAST genetic polymorphisms with traits of interest in dry-cured ham production

We established significant effect of both polymorphisms on properties of interest in dry-cured ham production. However there were differences between the countries in the frequency of genotypes as well as in their effect on the studied traits, indicating interaction with other factors. The differences between the countries were due to the pig genetic line (crossing) used, as well as to the severity of ham selection for the processing.

Comparison of PRKAG3 and RYR1 gene effect on carcass traits and meat quality in Slovenian commercial pigs

The effect of polymorphisms at PRKAG3 (R200Q and I199V) and RYR1 (R615C) genes on carcass traits and meat quality was examined.The study shows that the I199V polymorphism is an important source of variation in pigs free of 200Q. In particular the 199I proves beneficial for meat quality.The results of combining the RYR1 and PRKAG3 genotypes indicate that R/R-I/I genotype could be used in counterbalancing the negative effects of ā€œnā€ allele on meat quality.
