Abstract excerpt

Japanese quail embryos normally have longitudinal black and brown stripes formed by colored feather buds on their back whereas an autosomal dominant mutation, black at hatch (Bh), disrupts this pigmentation pattern by causing overall black and brown coating in heterozygotes and homozygotes, respectively. These phenotypes of the Bh mutant embryos suggest that the Bh locus plays an important role in the pigment...
