赛鸽是一项世界性的运动。猪笼草是在不断的选择，以提高速度，空间定位，和耐力在长途飞行。然而，许多遗传和非遗传因素影响生存能力和归巢能力，使这些性状难以控制的育种。乳酸脱氢酶A基因（LDHA）的多态性可能会影响赛鸽和归巢能力，因为它在身体和精神表现中的作用。此外，腺苷酸环化酶激活多肽1基因（ADCYAP 1）与鸟类迁徙过程中发生的生理和行为转变有关。在这项研究中，我们研究了LDHA和ADCYAP 1基因型与赛鸽生存能力之间的关联。通过估计育种值（EBV）的每一个人的总比赛距离在其运动寿命的生存能力进行了评估。ADCYAP 1在我们的样本中没有多态性，而LDHA基因型与总种族距离较长的偏离EBV值显著相关;携带S+基因型的个体具有较高的EBV（即，更大的生存能力）。因此，LDHA基因座可能是有用的标记辅助选择，使育种家和教练，以最大限度地提高鸽子的质量。此外，从繁殖中获得的数据也将提高我们对野生迁徙鸟类导航和飞行的遗传机制的理解。
Pigeon racing is a popular sport worldwide. Pigeons are under continuous selection to improve speed, spatial orientation, and endurance during long flights. However, numerous genetic and non-genetic factors affect survivability and homing ability, making such traits difficult for breeders to control. Polymorphisms in the lactate dehydrogenase A gene (LDHA) likely affects pigeon racing and homing abilities, due to its role in physical and mental performance. Additionally, the adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide 1 gene (ADCYAP1) has been associated with physiological and behavioral shifts that occur during avian migration. In this study, we examined the association between LDHA and ADCYAP1 genotypes with pigeon survivability during racing competitions. Survivability was evaluated through the estimated breeding value (EBV) of each individual’s total race distances during its athletic life. ADCYAP1 was not polymorphic among our samples, while LDHA genotypes were significantly associated with deviated EBV values of longer total race distance; individuals carrying the S+ genotype had higher EBV (i.e., greater survivability). Thus, the LDHA locus might be useful for marker-assisted selection, empowering breeders and trainers to maximize pigeon quality. Moreover, data obtained from breeding will also improve our understanding of the genetic mechanism underlying navigation and flight for wild migrating bird species.
