FIGURE 5

Undifferentiated melanophores are maintained through larval stages. (A) Stage 40 larvae were exposed to different backgrounds while being illuminated from above for 24–48 h. (B) Larvae were maintain for 24 h on a white background (WB), for 48 h on a white background (WB + WB), for 24 h on a black background (BB), and for 24 h on a white background followed by 24 h on a black background (WB + BB). Perioptic melanophores were quantified (dashed circle in A; X¯ WB = 1.00 ± 0.11, n WB = 34; X¯ BB = 2.92 ± 0.21, n BB = 35; X¯ WB+WB = 1.22 ± 0.13, n WB+WB = 35; X¯ WB+BB = 3.04 ± 0.17, n WB+BB = 36; N = 4; F 3, 136 = 46.11, p < 0.0001, one-way ANOVA). (C) WMISH for tyrp1 in the perioptic area for the four conditions. ***p < 0.0001, Tukey’s test.
