Abstract
A new dominant mutant is described. The homozygote is completely devoid of pigment and is either anophthalmic or markedly micro-phthalmic, while the heterozygote shows a reduction in the amount of phaeo-melanism on the ventral surface of the body and an impairment of eye pigmentation. The mutant appears to be inherited independently of the previously known genes cream and piebald.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
