Defective adult pigment stripes in seurat mutants.

Shown are adult fish (A, B, C) and details of patterns (A2, B2, C2). (A, A2) Wild-type fish exhibit several dark stripes of melanophores and iridophores, as well as light “interstripes” of xanthophores and iridophores. (B, B2) Homozygous seurat^utr15e1 mutants exhibit irregular spots of melanophores. (C, C2) seurat^wp15e2/seurat^utr15e1 fish exhibit a less severe stripe defect, most evident ventrally (arrowhead). seurat^wp15e3/seurat^utr15e1 exhibit a phenotype indistinguishable from seurat^wp15e2/seurat^utr15e1. At this stage, seurat^wp15e2 and seurat^wp15e3 are nearly indistinguishable from the wild-type when homozygous, though phenotypes are more apparent during the initial stages of stripe formation (not shown). Scale bar: in (A2), 1 mm for (A2–C2).
