Bh (black at hatch) gene appears to be expressed in melanocytes of feather germs in the Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica).

Development, growth & differentiation - 1 Aug 1997

Satoh H, Nakamura A, Shiojiri N

Abstract excerpt

The Bh (black at hatch) gene was examined to determine whether it is expressed in plumage melanocytes by analyzing pigmentation patterns of Bh melanocytes placed in the micro-environment of the feather germs of quail embryos with pink eyes. These host quails genetically lack a large part of plumage melanin. The Bh locus in these almost white quails is wild-type. When Bh neural crest cells were transplanted...
