Inheritance studies of blue and golden varieties of tench (Pisces: Tinca tinca L.)

The inheritance of blue and golden colors in tench (Tinca tinca L.) was studied by mating the respective mutations to the normal or wild-type green phenotype and/or together. Analyses of phenotype frequencies in F1, F2, and BC generations revealed that both color variants are mutations of two differ...

Description
Summary:The inheritance of blue and golden colors in tench (Tinca tinca L.) was studied by mating the respective mutations to the normal or wild-type green phenotype and/or together. Analyses of phenotype frequencies in F1, F2, and BC generations revealed that both color variants are mutations of two different, non-linked genes (b and g, respectively) recessive to wild pigmentation (B-G-), and both variants represent the homozygous combination only (bbG-, B-gg).
