Melanocortin receptor 1 and black pigmentation in the Japanese ornamental carp (Cyprinus carpio var. Koi)

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2013
Colors and their patterns are fascinating phenotypes with great importance for fitness under natural conditions. For this reason and because pigmentation is associated with diseases, much research was devoted to study the genetics of pigmentation in ...

Melanophores inside Frogs

open access: yesInternational Letters of Natural Sciences, 2018
Melanocytes/melanophores were known for some decades as pigment cells in skin. The origin of these cells in embryogenesis from neural crest cells is actively investigated now. Some melanocytes/melanophores were described inside adult vertebrates. Historically, these internal melanocytes have been largely ignored, until recently.

Some features of embryonic development of eggs and larvae of three stripe rockfsh Sebastes trivittatus (Sebastidae) at Primorye (Japan Sea)

open access: yesИзвестия ТИНРО, 2018
Later embryonic development of Sebastes trivittatus passes in 20 days under water temperature 10 оС (in June-July). During this period, the embryos of S.

Developmental and Cellular Basis of Vertical Bar Color Patterns in the East African Cichlid Fish Haplochromis latifasciatus

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
The East African adaptive radiations of cichlid fishes are renowned for their diversity in coloration. Yet, the developmental basis of pigment pattern formation remains largely unknown.

Long-distance communication by specialized cellular projections during pigment pattern development and evolution

open access: yeseLife, 2015
Changes in gene activity are essential for evolutionary diversification. Yet, elucidating the cellular behaviors that underlie modifications to adult form remains a profound challenge. We use neural crest-derived adult pigmentation of zebrafish and pearl

Epigenetic dynamics shaping melanophore and iridophore cell fate in zebrafish

open access: yesGenome Biology, 2021
Background Zebrafish pigment cell differentiation provides an attractive model for studying cell fate progression as a neural crest progenitor engenders diverse cell types, including two morphologically distinct pigment cells: black melanophores and ...

A gene expression study of dorso-ventrally restricted pigment pattern in adult fins of Neolamprologus meeli, an African cichlid species [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2017
Fish color patterns are among the most diverse phenotypic traits found in the animal kingdom. Understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms that control in chromatophore distribution and pigmentation underlying this diversity is a major goal in ...

Protein Kinase A Signaling Inhibits Iridophore Differentiation in Zebrafish

open access: yesJournal of Developmental Biology, 2018
In zebrafish (Danio rerio), iridophores are specified from neural crest cells and represent a tractable system for examining mechanisms of cell fate and differentiation.

Bar, stripe and spot development in sand-dwelling cichlids from Lake Malawi

open access: yesEvoDevo, 2019
Background Melanic patterns such as horizontal stripes, vertical bars and spots are common among teleost fishes and often serve roles in camouflage or mimicry. Extensive research in the zebrafish model has shown that the development of horizontal stripes
