| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
(1) Plumage color mutant in the large size Japanese quail was controlled by an autosomal dominant gene, fawn-2. The new strain homozygous for this gene, was developed and named JFN. (2) Embryonic genome activation was initiated around EG-K stage V in the Japanese quail. DAZL gene specifically expressed in the primordial germ cells showed about 100 bp difference in size between male and female in the Japanese quail. (3) Non-albino white plumage in the bobwhite quail was controlled by an autosomal recessive gene, rW (recessive white). The new strain homozygous for this gene was developed and named RW. (4) Distribution of glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1-immunoreactive cells in the bobwhite quail was observed using immunohistochemical and morphometrical techniques. (5) Species specific PCR primers were designed to distinguish between Japanese quail and bobwhite quail.
