Genetic and biochemical studies on ommochrome genesis in an albino strain of a terrestrial isopod, Armadillidium vulgare.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic studies and quantitative determination of levels of 3-hydroxykynurenine and kynurenine were performed in an albino strain of a terrestrial isopod Armadillidium vulgare. From the results of matings between the albino and the albino, the red, the dark red, or the wild type individuals, the albino A. vulgare seems to be regulated by an autosomal gene(s) recessive to its wild allele. Litter mating of F1...
