TABLE 1.

Effect of kit^w34 and foxd3^zdf10 loss-of-function on total melanophores

GENOTYPE	AVERAGE # TOTAL MELANOPHORES^*
kit^w34/+	307.8 ± 42.6 (6)
kit^w34/w34	118.7 ± 41.8 (7)
kit^w34/w34; foxd3^zdf10/+	122.2 ± 47.6 (10)
kit^w34/w34; foxd3^zdf10/zdf10	176.0 ± 41.9 (10)

Larvae were fixed at 4dpf for counting.

Melanophore averages for each genotype ± standard deviation are shown. The number of fish counted is in parentheses. There is a significant difference in the number of melanophores between kit/foxd3 double mutants and kit single mutants (p,0.05 by Tukey’s posthoc test after 1-way ANOVA).
