Abstract: According to the rabbit linkage map and reports, 8 microsatellite loci were selected to detect the genetic polymorphism in 195 Fujian yellow rabbits.Effective number of alleles,heterozygositry, polymorphism information content,and correlation analysis between microsatellite marks and body weight as well were calculated by least square means. Results were showed as follow: The average heterozygosit(H) was 0.6857,ranging 0.5904 from 0.7267.The average polymorphism information content(PIC) was 0.6622,ranging from 0.5723 to 0.7222. Many genotypes of microsatellites were significant correlations with body size and body weight. The allele 209bp of Sol33 had a positive effect on first month’s weight. The allele 125bp of Sat12 and allele 201bp of Sol33 had a strong positive impact on third 1--month-old weight. The allele 213bp of Sol33 may have a negative impact on the 8-month-old weight. If allele 242bp of Sol03 had a positive impact, the allele 240bp had a strong negative impact on the 8-month-old weight. The allele 217bp of Sol44, allele 209bp of Sol33, allele 153bp of Sol30 and allele 236bp of Sol03 had a positive impact on stem length. The allele 209bp of Sol33, allele 170bp of Sol30 and allele 244bp of Sol03 may have a positive impact on chest circumference. The allele 203bp of Sol44 may have a negative impact on chest circumference. The five microsatellites genotypes of Sol33 (209/213)、Sat12(125)、Sol30 170、Sol03(236/244)、Sol44(203/227)had a significant correlation with weight and body size. This will provide a theoretical basis for further QTL.
