A single-base deletion in an ABC transporter gene causes white eyes, white eggs, and translucent larval skin in the silkworm w-3(oe) mutant.

Insect biochemistry and molecular biology - 1 Feb 2009

Kômoto Natuo, Quan Guo-Xing, Sezutsu Hideki, Tamura Toshiki

Abstract excerpt

The w-3(oe) silkworm mutant has white eyes and eggs due to the absence of ommochrome pigments in the eye pigment cells and serosa cells. The mutant is also characterized by translucent larval skin resulting from a deficiency in the transportation of uric acid, which acts as a white pigment in larval epidermal cells. A silkworm homolog of the fruitfly white gene, Bmwh3, a member of ATP-binding cassette transporter...
