Eye color pigment granules in Drosophila mauritiana: mosaics produced by excision of a transposable element.

Pigment cell research - 1 Jan 2000

Stark W S, Sapp R, Haymer D S

Abstract excerpt

Compound eyes of the white-peach (wpch) mutant strain of Drosophila mauritiana have some pigment and receptor cells with wild-type eye color pigmentation. These eyes are mosaic, because excision of a transposable element reverts wpch to wild type during the development of somatic cells. Wild-type patches have three types of pigment granule residing in three respective cell types: primary pigment cells, secondary...
