Allelism of panda and dotted white plumage genes in Japanese quail

Article Abstract:

The autosomal alleles control the panda and dotted white plumage colors of the Japanese quail Coturnix japonica. White plumage with colored spots or patches, easily distinguished by the size and location of the closed areas, and the color and markings of the pigmented feathers is revealed by both the mutants. Even at the time of birth they are easily distinguishable by the population, size and colors of the spots or patches. Large black patches on the head, back, tail, cheek and wing were found on the panda chicks while the dotted white chicks had small light brown spots on the head and back.
