Abstract excerpt
The inheritance of stress responsiveness (line effects and combining abilities) was phenotypically studied in progeny from diallel crosses of randombred (RB) quail and quail selected for exaggerated (high stress, HS) or reduced (low stress, LS) plasma corticosterone (CS) response to brief immobilization. The three genotypes were crossed in a 3 x 3 factorial arrangement of treatments that allowed all possible...
