Brief communication. Monogenic control of iris coloration in the January tetra (Hemigrammus hyanuary Characidae)
Department of Biology, Howard University, Washington, DC 20059, USA E-mail: jfrankel@howard.edu
The January tetra (Hemigrammus hyanuary Durbin) exhibits two eye color phenotypes. These have a silver iris, which is characteristic of the species, and a green color variant. Segregation patterns observed in the progenies from 12 different crosses support an hypothesis for the monogenic inheritance of iris coloration in this species.
