The “Extended Brown” Plumage Color Mutant of Blue-Breasted Quail (Coturnix chinensis) is Associated with a Mutation in the Melanocortin 1-Receptor Gene (MC1R) [PDF]
The Journal of Poultry Science, 2018 The mutant plumage color “extended brown (EB)” of the blue-breasted quail was genetically investigated. Mating experiments revealed that the EB plumage is controlled by an autosomal, incompletely dominant allele, for which we propose the symbol Eb.

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]
Poultry Science, 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.

A novel codominant plumage color pattern of white breast patches in WugangTong geese was controlled by EDNRB2 [PDF]
Poultry Science: Two basic plumage color patterns are observed in adult geese: solid grey (G) or colorless white (W). However, a Chinese indigenous breed, the Wugangtong goose (WGT), continues to be subject to selective breeding efforts as it displays segregation of ...

Selection signature analysis using whole genome resequencing data reveals candidate genes for white plumage color in Korean native ducks [PDF]
Animal BioscienceObjective Domestication alters the phenotypes of wild animals to meet human demands and leaves characteristic patterns in their genomes. Various selection signature analysis methods have been developed to identify these characteristic patterns left in ...

Molecular-genetic bases of plumage coloring in chicken
Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2019 The color of plumage in birds is an important feature, often determining descent to a particular species or breed. It serves as a key factor in the interaction of birds with each other due to their well-developed visual perception of the surrounding ...

Genome-wide Association Study of Chicken Plumage Pigmentation [PDF]
Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2013 To increase plumage color uniformity and understand the genetic background of Korean chickens, we performed a genome-wide association study of different plumage color in Korean native chickens. We analyzed 60K SNP chips on 279 chickens with GEMMA methods

Complex plumages spur rapid color diversification in kingfishers (Aves: Alcedinidae)
eLife, 2023 Colorful signals in nature provide some of the most stunning examples of rapid phenotypic evolution. Yet, studying color pattern evolution has been historically difficult owing to differences in perceptual ability of humans and analytical challenges with
