Abstract excerpt
A complete diallel cross using both sexes was derived from four parental populations of chickens having divergent developmental rates. This paradigm was used to investigate the genetic architecture of the neurochemicals, norepinephrine (NE), epinephrine (EPI), 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPA...
