Plumage colour mutations and melanins in the feathers of the Japanese quail: a first comparison.

Animal genetics - 1 Dec 2009

Minvielle F, Cecchi T, Passamonti P, Gourichon D, Renieri C

Abstract excerpt

The absorbance of melanin content from dorsal feathers was compared between wild-type Japanese quail and nine other quail plumage colours determined by single mutations in one of seven genes: extended brown (MC1R), yellow (ASIP), silver (MITF), lavender (MLPH), roux (TYRP1), imperfect albinism (SLC45A2) and rusty. As compared with wild-type quail, all mutations but extended brown decreased total melanins. The...
