Two types of albino mutants in desert and migratory locusts are caused by gene defects in the same signaling pathway.

Gene - 15 Apr 2017

Abstract excerpt

Albinism is caused by mutations in the genes involved in melanin production. Albino nymphs of Locusta migratoria and Schistocerca gregaria reared under crowded conditions are uniformly creamy-white in color. However, nothing is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon in locusts. The albino strain of L. migratoria is known to lack the dark-color-inducing neuropeptide corazonin (Crz). In...
