摘要： 本研究首次发现了鹌鹑伴性羽基因的基因互作关系并进行了遗传验证.试验证明,鹌鹑的栗羽、黄羽和白羽是Z染色体上两个有连锁关系的基因座B/b和Y/y相互作用的结果.B和b为一对等位基因,不控制任何性状,只与色素的合成有关,B为有色基因,b为白化基因,B对b为显性;Y和y为另一对等位基因,分别控制栗羽和黄羽,Y对y为显性.栗羽和黄羽的表现取决于有色基因B的存在,B与Y相互作用产生栗羽,B与y相互作用产生黄羽,白羽是白化基因b对Y和y上位作用的结果.B/b和Y/y两基因座在雄性表现出一定的互换率,在雌性为完全连锁.这一研究补充和发展了以前人们对鹌鹑羽色伴性遗传的研究,为人们利用鹌鹑羽色进行自别雌雄配套系生产提供了重要的遗传学基础。
Abstract:The interaction of sex-linked gene for plumage color in quails was first discovered and identified by genetictest.It was proved that the phenotypic expressions of the maroon feather,the yellow feather and the white feather result from the interaction between B/b and Y/y loci in the Z-chromosome.The allele B and b have something to do with the composition of pigment in plumage and nothing to do with any relative characters,the coloured gene B is dominant to its albino allele b.The maroon and yellow feather constituted a pair of relative characters determined by a couple of alleles Y and y,the maroon feather was caused by a dominant allele Y,and the yellow feather caused by a recessive allele y.But the phenotypic expression of maroon and yellow was decided by the present of the coloured gene B in Z-chromosome,the maroon feather was the result of interaction between gene B and Y,the yellow feather was result of interaction between gene B and y.The white was caused by a recessive albino gene b which epistasis to gene Y and y.The incomplete linkage was present between B/b and Y/y in Z-chromosome in male and complete linkage in female.This research enriches and delelops the earlier studies of the sex-linked inheritance of plumage color.It provides an important genetic basis for the quail autosexing system production by means of plumage color.
