Light down--dominant plumage color mutation with homozygous lethality in Japanese quail.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Ito S, Tsudzuki M

Abstract excerpt

A new plumage color mutation in Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) was named light down (LD) from its external appearance at hatching; it was expressed as an incompletely dominant autosomal gene, for which the symbol L is proposed. In the heterozygous neonates, black stripes on the head and back...
