Multiple roles for <i>laccase2</i> in butterfly wing pigmentation, scale development, and cuticle tanning

2019-11-28

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Lepidopteran wing scales play important roles in a number of functions including color patterning and thermoregulation. Despite the importance of wing scales, however, we still have a limited understanding of the genetic mechanisms that underlie scale patterning, development, and coloration. Here we explore the function of the phenoloxidase-encoding gene laccase2 in wing and scale development i...
