    Abstract As a complex food, meat displays various biochemical properties that are determined to a great extent by physical architecture and lipid metabolites. Pekin duck and Liancheng white duck are elite breeds with distinct characteristics. Here, we explored the development of the muscle fibers from embryonic stage to 10-wk after birth, and muscle fibers grow slowly after 8-wk. We investigated the meat quality, ultrastructure, lipidomics profiling, and lipids spatial distribution of skeletal muscle at 8 wk. Pekin duck has lower Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF) (P < 0.05), high intramuscular fat (IMF) (P < 0.01), longer and wider sarcomere, and higher mitochondrial density (P < 0.001). Liancheng white duck with tighter collagen architecture. A total of 950 lipids from 6 lipid classes identified with lipidomics were analyzed, the levels of GP, GL, and PR were significantly higher in Pekin duck (P < 0.05), SL and ST were significantly higher in Liancheng white duck (P < 0.05). There were 333 significantly different lipids (|log2(Fold Change)| ≥ 1 and FDR < 0.05) screened, most lipids distributed in the muscle tissue were uniform, but some specifically distributed in connective tissue. To some extent, the results demonstrate the high lipid deposition capacity of Pekin duck and the high medicinal function of Liancheng white duck. Our study provides new insights into the relationship between skeletal muscle architecture and meat toughness, which increased the knowledge of lipidomic characteristics and provide a basis for duck meat authentication.

    Abstract The Liancheng white (LW) duck is one of the most valued Chinese indigenous poultry breeds. Its meat is rich in nutrients and has distinct flavors, but the molecular mechanisms behind them are unknown. To address this issue, we measured and compared multi-omic data (genome, transcriptome, and metabolome) of breast meat from LW ducks and the Mianyang Shelduck (MS) ducks. We found that the LW duck has distinct breed-specific genetic features, including numerous mutant genes with differential expressions associated with amino acid metabolism and transport activities. The metabolome driven by genetic materials was also seen to differ between the two breeds. For example, several amino acids that are beneficial for human health, such as L-Arginine, L-Ornithine, and L-lysine, were found in considerably higher concentrations in LW muscle than in MS duck muscle (

    Abstract The present study investigates the expression of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) and its contribution to the melanin deposition in Liancheng white ducks. Nested PCR was used to clone the MITF gene sequence from the skin tissue of female Liancheng white ducks. Ultraviolet spectrophotometry was used to detect the melanin deposition. MITF mRNA expression and melanin deposition in different tissues and organs were detected and their correlation was analyzed. The MITF gene (GenBank number: MG516570) was 1 323 bp in length, contains a complete CDS region (34–1 323 bp) and codes 429 amino acids with 100% homology to the MITF of Anas platyrhynchos and over 95% homology to those of Gallus gallus and Coturnix japonica. Genetic evolution analysis reveals a close relationship of Liancheng white ducks with A. platyrhynchos, and also to lesser extents with Anser cygnoides, silky fowl and G. gallus, as well as Sus scrofa, Ovis aries and other mammals. Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) analysis demonstrated that MITF was expressed in skin, gizzard, liver, kidney and muscle, and of these tissues, its expression was the highest in the skin tissue (skin>gizzard>liver>kidney>muscle). Ultraviolet spectrophotometry showed that melanin deposition was positively correlated with the MITF expression level in these five tissues and organs (P<0.05). Together, these results demonstrated a tissue-specific pattern of MITF expression and a positive correlation between MITF expression and melanin deposition, indicating that MITF expression may contribute to the melanin deposition in Liancheng white ducks.

    Abstract Precipitation from the previous August to the current June over the last 232 years in Liancheng, China, was reconstructed by a transfer function based on the correlation between tree-ring widths and local meteorological data. The explained variance was 45.3 %, and fluctuations on both annual and decadal scales were captured. Wet periods with precipitation above the 232-year mean occurred from 1777 to 1785, 1802 to 1818, 1844 to 1861, 1889 to 1922 and 1939 to 1960. Dry periods (precipitation below the mean) occurred from 1786 to 1801, 1819 to 1843, 1862 to 1888 and 1923 to 1938. The reconstruction compares well with a tree-ring-based precipitation reconstruction at Mt. Xinglong; both of them showed the well-known severe drought in the late 1920s. The rainfall series also shows highly synchronous decreasing trends since the 1940s, suggesting that precipitation related to the East Asian summer monsoon at these two sites has decreased by large spatial and temporal (decadal) scales. Power spectrum analysis of the reconstruction showed remarkable 21.82-, 3.48-, 3.12-, 3.08- and 2.31-year cycles for the past 232 years; the 22-year cycle corresponds to the solar cycle and is expressed widely in tree ring/precipitation reconstructions on the China Loess Plateau. This may suggest a solar influence on the precipitation variations on the Loess Plateau, although the mechanisms are not well understood.
