Abstract: Twenty five microsatellite markers,selected from poultry genome were used to study genetic diversity and four meat quality traits on F₂ generation obtained from the mating of Recessive White chicken with Xianju chicken.Effects of 6 loci on meat quality traits were analyzed with PROC GLM of SAS 9.0 statistical software.The results indicated that,the averages of allelic number,heterozygosity(H) and polymorphism information content (PIC) were 5,0.701 2 and 0.646 8, respectively.There were positive correlations between tenderness and pH values（P<0.05） and high positive correlations between tenderness and IMF（P<0.01）.On the other hand,the correlation between tenderness and water-losing rate was negative and of high values（P<0.01）.The effect of ADL136 on IMF and MCW264,ADL211 and MCW0223 on water-losing rate were hightly significant (P<0.01),while the effect of MCW0095 and ADL166 on tenderness and MCW264 on pH values was also significant（P<0.05）.No other significant effects on the four meat quality traits were obtained.
