Phenotypic, embryonic, and neonatal effects of a gene for sex-linked imperfect albinism (Sal-s) in chickens.

Poultry science - 1 Jun 1991

Silversides F G, Crawford R D

Abstract excerpt

Gross phenotypic observations, histology, and tissue culture showed that the gene for sex-linked imperfect albinism that occurred at the University of Saskatchewan (Sal-s), allows a small amount of melanin pigment to be deposited in eyes and feathers. Melanin pigment accumulates in retinal pigment epithelial and cultured neural crest cells, but neural crest cells pigmenting the feathers transfer their pigment as...
