[Verification of the color genotype based on morphological analysis of fur pigmentation of brown and black water voles Arvicola terrestris L].
Qualitative and quantitative analysis of fur pigmentation in brown and black water voles (Arvicola terrestris L.) was performed. Morphology of pigment granules, their distribution along the hair layers and histology of hair bulbs were studied. Morphological data and the results of the analysis of segregation in the progeny, when brown voles were self-crossed and crossed with black ones, led to conclusion that fur colour of water voles is mediated by genes from the agouti series, precisely, black colour is determined by the extreme non-agouti allele (aeae genotype), and in brown voles which are homo- or heterozygous the colour is determined by the agouti allele (AA or Aae genotypes).
