Abstract
The study of the association between the coat-color variants and the blood- group system D antigens in the populations of two related trotter breeds (O rlov Trotter and Russian Trotter) showed the presence of three associations between these characters in the Orlov Trotter breed. In the populations of Russian trotters, these associations were not detected. Possible reasons f or the formation and maintenance of these associations and the role of the selection for coat color in the differentiation of breeds by the frequencie s of some system D antigens are discussed.
