title: The gene of golden plumage colour linked with lower fertility in Mangurian Golden quail.
abstract: Relation between golden plumage colour and lowered fertility has been found in quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica). Golden colour of plumage is due to the presence of a single gene G, while its recessive alleles gg determine partridge-like colour. Homozygotic birds of GG pattern die during incubation.
