摘要： Simple Summary PUFAs have an essential impact on human health, but their availability constitutes a critical bottleneck in food production. Although fish is the traditional source of PUFAs, it is limited by the stagnation of fisheries. Many studies aim to increase the PUFA products of fish. Genetic markers are efficient in aquaculture breeding. Fatty acid desaturase 2 (fads2) and elongase 5 (elovl5) are the rate-limiting enzymes in the synthesis of PUFAs. The allo-tetraploid common carp is able to biosynthesize endogenous PUFAs. However, selective breeding common carp with high PUFA contents was hindered due to a lack of effective molecular markers. For future breeding common carp capable of producing endogenous PUFAs more effectively, we previously identified the polymorphisms in the coding regions of two duplicated fads2, fads2a and fads2b. However, the polymorphisms in the duplicated elovl5, elovl5a and elovl5b, were not detected. This study screened the genetic variants in the coding regions of elovl5a and elovl5b. Moreover, the joint effects of multiple coding SNPs in fads2b and elovl5b, two major genes regulating the PUFA biosynthesis, were evidenced with the increased explained percentages of the PUFA contents. These polymorphisms in these two genes were used to evaluate the breeding values of PUFAs. These SNPs would be potential markers for future selection to improve the PUFA contents in common carp. The allo-tetraploid common carp, one widely cultured food fish, is able to produce poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). The genetic markers on the PUFA contents for breeding was limited. The polymorphisms in elovl5a and elovl5b, the rate-limiting enzymes in the PUFA biosynthesis, have not been investigated yet. Herein, we identified one coding SNP (cSNP) in elovl5a associated with the content of one PUFA and two cSNPs in elovl5b with the contents of eight PUFAs. The heterozygous genotypes in these three loci were associated with higher contents than the homozygotes. Together with previously identified two associated cSNPs in fads2b, we found the joint effect of these four cSNPs in fads2b and elovl5b on the PUFA contents with the increased explained percentages of PUFA contents. The genotype combinations of more heterozygotes were associated with higher PUFA contents than the other combinations. Using ten genomic selection programs with all cSNPs in fads2b and elovl5b, we obtained the high and positive correlations between the phenotypes and the estimated breeding values of eight PUFAs. These results suggested that elovl5b might be the major gene corresponding to common carp PUFA contents compared with elovl5a. The cSNP combinations in fads2b and elovl5b and the optimal genomic selection program will be used in the future selection breeding to improve the PUFA contents of common carp.
