Requirement for adss in eye growth and gmps in pigmentation downstream of gart and paics. (A-B) Dorsal (A,A′) and lateral (B) images of control MO-injected embryos at 3 dpf. Xanthophores (yellow arrow) and iridophores (red arrow) are highlighted. (C) The adss locus and approximate position of the morpholino target site. (D-E) adss morphants are microphthalmic but have normal pigmentation. (F) The gmps locus and approximate position of the morpholino target site. (G-H) gmps morphants have nearly normal sized eyes but lack most xanthophore- and iridophore-derived pigmentation. Xanthophores can be observed (G′) but are markedly lighter than those in control-injected embryos (A′).
