Figure 5

(A) Epidermal phenotypes show Ha-ok mutant individuals (ok−/−) lack of uric acid accumulation and the wild type (WT) phenotype (ok+/+) with opaque cuticle. (B,C) Magnified images of mutant (ok−/−) and wild type (ok+/+) larvae at 3rd instar. (D) Magnified translucent phenotype of mutant larva (ok−/−), compared to control larva (ok+/+). (E) Homozygous G1 adult developing from the G1 larvae has black eyes. (F) Wild-type moths with green eyes.
