(a.) Resembling the domestic fowls and pheasants; of or pertaining to the Gallinae.
Example Sentences:

(3) As in the chicken, and other gallinaceous birds, the Peking duck mtDNA displays a novel gene order which differs from that of other vertebrates by the unusual localization of the tRNA(Glu) and ND6 genes next to the displacement (D) loop region of the molecule.
(4) Except for its presence in Darwin's tinamou (Nothura darwinii) from Colorado, it has been reported only from gallinaceous birds.
(5) This is the first report of hypothermia in a fasting gallinaceous bird.
(6) The reticuloendotheliosis viruses (REV) are a family of highly related retroviruses isolated from gallinaceous birds.
(7) The induction period for both types of antibody was prolonged by 2 to 6 days as compared with earlier studies in gallinaceous birds using nonreplicating antigens.
(8) The overall sequence divergence between the two gallinaceous birds suggests that avian mitochondrial genomes evolve at a similar rate to other vertebrate mitochondrial DNAs.
(9) Studies on the basis of differential responsiveness of H-2b mice to gallinaceous lysozymes suggest T cell involvement and active T cell suppression with those lysozymes not responded to.
(10) An immune response (Ir) gene is described which controls the ability of mice to respond to seven very closely related gallinaceous egg white lysozymes (GEL).
(11) The willow grouse (Lagopus lagopus) are arctic gallinaceous birds with small fat stores and large muscles.
(12) The cranial cervical sympathetic ganglion (CCG) provides the primary innervation of the pineal gland in several gallinaceous species.
(13) Although experimental data suggest that wild gallinaceous birds such as pheasants are potentially capable of virus transmission, there has been no evidence of this from wildlife surveillance in Pennsylvania.
(14) In 40 cases salmonellae of the serovar Salmonella (S.) gallinarum were culturally isolated from domesticated gallinaceous birds submitted for diagnostic purposes in the period of 1979-1989.
(15) 2) From the nearest species Actinobacillus haemolyticus (Newsom and Cross, 1932) Mráz, 1969, they differ with expressive haemolysis on agar with sheep blood, single haemolytic zone on agar with lamb blood according to Smith (1962), structure of somatic antigen, with natural hosts (gallinaceous birds) and pathogenicity for 5-day-old chicks.
(16) We conclude that TCR2 and TCR3 in gallinaceous birds may represent alpha beta subfamilies of TCR that are sequentially expressed on developmentally discrete sublines of T cells.
(17) Cross-reactivity patterns of the anti-chicken TCR antibodies suggested that other gallinaceous species share the three types of TCR.
(18) The migrating myoelectric complex (MMC) is demonstrated in four avian species: three gallinaceous birds (Gallus, Phasianus, Coturnix) and an owl (Strix).
Junglefowl
Definition:
Example Sentences:
(1) We have examined the presence and distribution of RAV-O-related sequences in the DNA of Red Junglefowl and other closely related species of Junglefowl, as well as more distantly related Pheasants and Quail.
(2) Burmese red junglefowl (Gallus gallus spadiceus) chicks were reinforced at 5 days old with a mealworm at the end of a runaway in the presence of a maternal food call.
(3) Analysis of restriction enzyme digests revealed several distinct fragments of DNA hybridizing to chick retrovirus cDNA in both Red Junglefowl and domestic chicken, and multiple fragments in DNA from two species of Phasianus.
(4) Under stringent conditions of hybridization in liquid, DNA sequences homologous to RAV-O cDNA were detected at high levels (greater than 80% homology( only in the genomes of the domestic chicken and its phylogenetic ancestor, the Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus).
(5) Free-ranging Indian red junglefowl were implicated as the source of the infection.
(6) No fragments with sequences related to chicken retroviruses were found, however, in digests of DNA prepared from Sonnerat's, Ceylonese and Green Junglefowl, from two other Pheasant genera (Chrysolophus and Lophura), or from one Quail genus (Coturnix).
(7) Under conditions permitting mismatching, however, Ring-necked Pheasant DNA hybridized up to 50% of the RAV-O cDNA, and Quail DNA 24%, whereas the extent of hybridization to Sonnerat's and Green Junglefowl DNA was not markedly increased.
(8) The DNA of two other species of Gallus (G. sonnerati, Sonnerat's Junglefowl and G. varius, Green Junglefowl), of Ring-necked Pheasant and of Japanese Quail contained sequences with less than 10% homology to RAV-O cDNA.
(9) Although RAV-O sequences are endogenous in all domestic chickens and Red Junglefowl studied thus far, it appears that the RAV-O genome has been introduced relatively recently into the germ line of Gallus gallus, following speciation but before domestication, and independently of the related sequences found in members of the genus Phasianus.
(10) Thus the DNA of three Junglefowl species closely related to Gallus gallus lacked RAV-O sequences while the DNA of more distantly related Phasianus species showed significant homology.
