apterous A specifies dorsal wing patterns and sexual traits in butterflies.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 28 Feb 2018

Prakash Anupama, Monteiro Antónia

Abstract excerpt

Butterflies have evolved different colour patterns on their dorsal and ventral wing surfaces to serve different signalling functions, yet the developmental mechanisms controlling surface-specific patterning are still unknown. Here, we mutate both copies of the transcription factor apterous in Bicyclus anynana butterflies using CRISPR/Cas9 and show that apterous A, expressed dorsally, functions both as a repressor...
