Mutation in SLC45A2 leads to loss of melanin in parrot feathers

2023-08-30

Abstract excerpt

Bird plumage coloration is a complex and multi-factorial process that involves both genetic and environmental factors. Diverse pigment groups contribute to plumage variation in different birds. In parrots, the predominant green color results from the combination of two different primary colors-yellow and blue. Psittacofulvin, a pigment uniquely found in parrots, is responsible for the yellow coloration, while blue...
