[Effect of coat color genes on the hair pigmentation morphology in the American mink (Mustela vison Schr. L.)].

Abstract excerpt

The morphological patterns of hair pigmentation (the size and shape of pigment granules and their distribution among layers) have been studied in four compound coat color forms of the American mink: moil-sapphire also known as violet (genotype m/m a/a p/p); moil-silver or sage (genotype m/m p/p); the color form determined by genotype m/+ a/a; and platinum leopard (S(k)/+ a/+ p/p). The hair pigmentation pattern...
