Gene activation of alcohol dehydrogenase in Japanese quail and chicken-quail hybrid embryos.
No preferential activation of the maternally derived alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) allele was found in any of the chicken male x Japanese quail female hybrids examined. ADH activity in the liver was, in fact, found to exist in two different cathodal zonal regions on starch gel electropherograms; the zone II bands appeared at day 5 of incubation in the quail embryo (day 6 in the hybrid embryo) and the zone I bands appeared in 9-day quail embryos (10-day hybrid embryos). By day 13 of incubation, only the faster-migrating zone I bands could be detected in both quail and hybrid embryos.
