Abstract
Pollen irradiation has recently been widely investigated as a method for differential gene transfer in plants. Using an albino color marker in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri), we have investigated whether irradiated sperm might be used in an analogous manner for gene transfer in fish. Our results indicate that paternal chromosome fragments are genetically active in gynogenetic offspring, but that these fragments may be lost during mitotic cell division, producing mosaic fish.Entities:
