Scope for Interspecific Hybridization of Chicken and Quail

Study Progress of Intergeneric Hybridization between Chicken and Quail

In the present paper, we reviewed intergeneric hybridization between chicken and quail from four aspects, such as morphology, molecular genetics, sex identification of earlier embryos and prospects, summarized the recent research progress from the scholars at home or abroad, and aimed to attract more and more attention to intergeneric hybridization between chicken and quail, offer more space an...

Production of genetically male tilapia through interspecific hybridization between Oreochromis niloticus and O. aureus

This study was conducted to produce a high percentage of genetically male tilapia through interspecific hybridization between Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus and Blue tilapia, O. aureus and evaluate sex ratio, productive performance and heterosis of the progeny produced. The results revealed that sex ratios of the progenies of (♀ O. aureus x ♂ O. niloticus) and (♀ O. niloticus x ♂ O. aureus...

Serum Albumin Polymorphism in Quail and Chicken-quail Hybrids.

ERUM albumin polymorphism has been reported in such animals as pigs (KRISTJANSSON 1963), horses (STORMONT and SUZUKI 1963), cattle (ASHTON 1964; ASHTON and LAMPKIN 1965), chickens (MCINDOE 1962) and turkeys ( QUINTEROS, STEVENS, TORMONT and ASMUNDSON 1964). BECKMAN, CONTERIO and MAINARDI (1963) examined the serum protein patterns of avian species hybrids and found that in eight out of 11 inters...
