Generation of a white-albino phenotype from cobalt blue and yellow-albino rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss): Inheritance pattern and chromatophores analysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Albinism is the most common color variation described in fish and is characterized by a white or yellow phenotype according to the species. In rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss, aside from yellow-albino phenotypes, cobalt blue variants with autosomal ...

Heterotypic interactions regulate cell shape and density during color pattern formation in zebrafish
Biology Open, 2016 The conspicuous striped coloration of zebrafish is produced by cell-cell interactions among three different types of chromatophores: black melanophores, orange/yellow xanthophores and silvery/blue iridophores.

Development and genetics of red coloration in the zebrafish relative Danio albolineatus
eLife, 2021 Animal pigment patterns play important roles in behavior and, in many species, red coloration serves as an honest signal of individual quality in mate choice.

Sox5 functions as a fate switch in medaka pigment cell development.
PLoS Genetics, 2014 Mechanisms generating diverse cell types from multipotent progenitors are crucial for normal development. Neural crest cells (NCCs) are multipotent stem cells that give rise to numerous cell-types, including pigment cells.

Distinct interactions of Sox5 and Sox10 in fate specification of pigment cells in medaka and zebrafish. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2018 Mechanisms generating diverse cell types from multipotent progenitors are fundamental for normal development. Pigment cells are derived from multipotent neural crest cells and their diversity in teleosts provides an excellent model for studying ...

Pigment-Aggregating Action of Endothelins on Medaka Xanthophores [PDF]
Zoological Science, 2000 Abstract Mammalian endothelins (ETs) -1, -2 and -3 effectively aggregated pigmentary organelles in xanthophores of the medaka, Oryzias latipes. IRL 1620 and sarafotoxin S6c, both being selective agonists of the mammalian ETB receptor, were also found to aggregate xanthosomes in those cells.

The Role of Microtubules in Pigment Translocation in Goldfish Xanthophores.
Archives of Histology and Cytology, 1993 In xanthophores, microtubules were observed to radiate out from the microtubule organization center which was also the center of a central pigment mass. A similar pattern of microtubules was identified in both cells with dispersed or aggregated pigments.
