Fig. 2

gart and paics mutants have pigmentation defects and microphthalmia. (A-G) Dorsal (A,B,D,E,G,H) and lateral (C,F,I) images of wild-type (A-C), gart (D-F) and paics (G-I) embryos at 5 dpf. Wild-type embryos possess xanthophore (yellow arrow), melanophore (black arrow) and iridophore (gray arrow) derived pigments. gart and paics mutants have substantially less xanthophore and iridophore pigmentation and reduced levels of melanin pigmentation. Mutants are also microphthalmic. Scale bar: 100μm.
