Chemical analysis of melanin pigments in feather germs of Japanese quail Bh (black at hatch) mutants.

Pigment cell research - 1 Aug 1999

Abstract excerpt

Bh (black at hatch) is a mutation of Japanese quails which causes darkening or lightening of the plumage in heterozygotes or homozygotes, respectively. We chemically analyzed melanin pigments in feather germs of Bh mutant embryos and in feathers of adult animals. Dark brown dorsal feathers of wild-type adult animals had white barrings, but heterozygous ones lacked clear barrings. The feathers of wild-type and...
