Abstract excerpt
Japanese quail is an animal model in biological studies and also a commercial bird for eggs and meat production. This study was conducted to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting live weight in Japanese quail. An F2 mapping population was developed by crossing two diverse lines (meat type and egg layer) of Japanese quail. A total number of 34 F1 and 422 F2 progeny were produced by reciprocal crossing of...
