A quantitative trait locus on chromosome 2 was identified that accounts for a substantial proportion of phenotypic variance of the yellow plumage color in chicken. [PDF]
Poult Sci, 2020 Chicken plumage color is an important economical trait in poultry breeding, as triple-yellow indigenous broilers are preferred over western commercial broilers in the Chinese market.

Genome-wide association study reveals 2 copy number variations associated with the variation of plumage color in the white duck hybrid population. [PDF]
Poult Sci: Plumage color is an intuitive external poultry characteristic with rich manifestations and complex genetic mechanisms. In our previous study, we observed that there were more dark variations in plumage color in the F2 population derived from the ...

Effects of <i>MTAP</i> and <i>PMEL</i> gene polymorphisms on plumage color variation in chickens. [PDF]
J Anim Sci TechnolPlumage color is an important economic trait in chickens and is mainly affected by genetic factors than environmental factors. This study aimed to detect the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in CDKN2A, MTAP, and PMEL genes and explore their ...

The Genetics of Seasonal Migration and Plumage Color [PDF]
Current Biology, 2016 Details on the genetics of behavioral and quantitative phenotypes remain limited to a few organisms. Such information is central to understanding both adaptation and speciation, as many of these phenotypes reduce gene flow between taxa [1-3]. Hybrid zones provide an ideal arena for studying this topic, as they consist of recombinant genotypes that ...

Association of Tyrosinase (TYR) and Tyrosinase-related Protein 1 (TYRP1) with Melanic Plumage Color in Korean Quails (<italic>Coturnix coturnix</italic>) [PDF]
Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2013 TYR (Tyrosinase) and TYRP1 (Tyrosinase-related protein 1) play crucial roles in determining the coat color of birds. In this paper, we aimed to characterize the relationship of TYR and TYRP1 genes with plumage colors in Korean quails.

Environmental and social correlates of the plumage color polymorphism in an urban dweller, feral pigeon (Columba livia f. domestica). [PDF]
Sci RepWe examined how urban environments affect the abundance, proportion, and diversity of plumage color morphs in feral pigeons. Five major plumage color morphs (black, blue, white, red, and mixed) were counted in sixty 25-ha plots in Poznań City (Poland ...

EFFECTS OF SPECIMEN AGE ON PLUMAGE COLOR [PDF]
The Auk, 2008 Abstract Museum specimens are valuable for studies of plumage color in birds, but feather color may fade over time and not accurately reflect the colors of live birds. In particular, it has been suggested that ultraviolet (UV) color may be more susceptible to degradation than human-visible colors.
