Eye pigments in wild-type and eye-color mutant strains of the African malaria vector Anopheles gambiae.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Abstract excerpt

Chromatographic analysis of pigments extracted from wild-type eyes of the mosquito Anopheles gambiae reveals the presence of the ommatin precursor 3-hydroxykynurenine, its transamination derivative xanthurenic acid, and a dark, red-brown pigment spot that probably is composed of two or more low mobility xanthommatins. No colored or fluorescent pteridines are evident. Mosquitoes homozygous for an autosomal...
