Figure 3From: The "silver" Japanese quail and the MITF gene: causal mutation, associated traits and homology with the "blue" chicken plumageChicken-quail hybrid with a "white" plumage. This is the adult progeny of the cross between a "white" B/B female Coturnix and a Bl/+ male Gallus with a "blue" plumage. It shows a white "silver"quail-like plumage that would be expected for hybrids with the Bl/B genotype if blue and silver were allelic mutations.Back to article page
