Abstract excerpt
Inheritance of dilute coat color with pink eye in the Japanese field vole (Microtus montebelli) was investigated by mating of the dilute mutant with a normal agouti vole and a white vole. As the results, it was cleared that an autosomal recessive gene p is responsible for the pink-eyed dilution in M. montebelli.
