Crimson: a novel sex-linked eye color mutant of Culex pipiens L. (Diptera: Culicidae).

Journal of medical entomology - 1 May 2004

Rasgon Jason L, Scott Thomas W

Abstract excerpt

Xanthommatin is the primary ommochrome eye pigment in mosquitoes. The terminal step in xanthommatin biosynthesis, involving oxidation of 3-hydroxykynurenine (3HK), can proceed enzymatically by phenoxazinone synthase or by nonenzymatic auto-oxidation of 3HK. The relative contributions of these pathways, however, are unclear. We isolated a novel Culex pipiens mutant (crimson) that could be used to address this...
