| the amino acid sequence of lady amherst's pheasant (chrysolophus amherstiae) and golden pheasant (chrysolophus pictus) egg-white lysozymes. | the amino acids of lady amherst's pheasant and golden pheasant egg-white lysozymes have been sequenced. the carboxymethylated lysozymes were digested with trypsin followed by sequencing of the tryptic peptides. lady amherst's pheasant lysozyme proved to consist of 129 amino acid residues, and a relative molecular mass of 14,423 da was calculated. this lysozyme had 6 amino acids substitutions when compared with hen egg-white lysozyme: phe3 to tyr, his15 to leu, gln41 to his, asn77 to his, gln 121 ... | 1990 | 1368578 |
| karyotypic evolution in the galliformes: an examination of the process of karyotypic evolution by comparison of the molecular cytogenetic findings with the molecular phylogeny. | to define the process of karyotypic evolution in the galliformes on a molecular basis, we conducted genome-wide comparative chromosome painting for eight species, i.e. silver pheasant (lophura nycthemera), lady amherst's pheasant (chrysolophus amherstiae), ring-necked pheasant (phasianus colchicus), turkey (meleagris gallopavo), western capercaillie (tetrao urogallus), chinese bamboo-partridge (bambusicola thoracica) and common peafowl (pavo cristatus) of the phasianidae, and plain chachalaca (o ... | 2004 | 15218250 |
| expression levels of gsta2 and apod genes might be associated with carotenoid coloration in golden pheasant (chrysolophus pictus) plumage. | carotenoids, which generate yellow, orange, and red colors, are crucial pigments in avian plumage. investigations into genes associated with carotenoidbased coloration in avian species are important; however, such research is difficult because carotenoids cannot be synthetized in vertebrates as they are only derived from dietary sources. here, the golden pheasant (chrysolophus pictus) was used as a model in analysis of candidate gene expression profiles implicated in carotenoid binding and depos ... | 2016 | 27265652 |
| influence of dietary protein on serum metabolites and antioxidant status: a study in chrysolophus amherstiae. | this experiment was conducted to study the effect of feeding graded levels of dietary crude protein (cp) on serum biochemical profile of lady amherst's pheasants (lap). eighteen male lap were randomly distributed into three groups of six each in an experiment based on completely randomized design. the cp content of the diets was 13.4%, 16.5%, and 19.1%, in groups i, ii, and iii, respectively. serum concentrations of uric acid was lowest (p < 0.05) in group i. relationship between serum concentra ... | 2016 | 27186655 |
| effect of feeding graded levels of crude protein on nutrient utilization and feather growth in lady amherst's pheasants. | in order to find out the optimum level of crude protein (cp) in the diet of captive lady amherst's pheasants (lap) on molt, 18 male birds were randomly distributed into three groups of six each in an experiment based on completely randomized block design. the cp content of the diets of birds in groups i, ii, and iii was 13.4, 16.5, and 19.1%, respectively. intake and apparent balance of nitrogen increased linearly (p < 0.001) as cp content of the diet increased. intake and utilization of energy, ... | 2016 | 26669611 |
| molecular genetics of avian proteins. iv. the egg-white proteins of the golden pheasant, chrysolophus pictus l., and lady amherst's pheasant, c. amherstiae leadbeater, and their possible evolutionary significance. | | 1965 | 5861537 |
| the amino acid sequence of copper pheasant lysozyme. | the amino acid sequence of copper pheasant lysozyme was analyzed. carboxymethylated lysozyme was digested with trypsin and the resulting peptides were sequenced. the established amino acid sequence had three amino acid substitutions at positions 20, 77, and 113 for lady amherst's pheasant lysozyme and seven amino acid substitutions at positions 3, 15, 20, 41, 113, 121, and 124 for hen lysozyme. phenylalanine at position 20 was newly detected in avian lysozyme. | 1994 | 7764870 |
| comparative genomics and transcriptomics of chrysolophus provide insights into the evolution of complex plumage coloration. | as one of the most recognizable characteristics in birds, plumage color has a high impact on understanding the evolution and mechanisms of coloration. feather and skin are ideal tissues to explore the genomics and complexity of color patterns in vertebrates. two species of the genus chrysolophus, golden pheasant (chrysolophus pictus) and lady amherst's pheasant (chrysolophus amherstiae), exhibit brilliant colors in their plumage, but with extreme phenotypic differences, making these two species ... | 2018 | 30192940 |
