Plumage pigmentation and expression of its regulatory genes during quail development--histochemical analysis using Bh (black at hatch) mutants.

Mechanisms of development - 1 Oct 2002

Abstract excerpt

The plumage on the dorsal trunk of normal quail embryos exhibits longitudinal black and brown stripes of pigments produced by melanocytes. However, this pigmentation pattern disappeared in Bh (black at hatch) heterozygous and homozygous embryos because of overall black and brown pigmentation of plumages, respectively. To investigate the mechanisms of the pigment pattern formation of plumage and clarify the roles...
