CRISPR/Cas9 disruption of white gene resulted in mosaic depigmented phenotypes in larval epidermis, testes and adult eyes of P. xuthus. a The fourth instar larva (L4). b The fifth instar larva (L5). c Testes of the fifth instar larva. d Adult eyes. Left panel: wild types; right panel: white mutants. The area with obviously morphological mutation in mutants and their corresponding part in wild-type were highlighted in red circle in the panels of (a) and (d) and in red square (b). Testes with obviously morphological mutation in mutants and their corresponding part in wild-type were highlighted in red arrow (c). Scale bars: 1 mm. The photo credit is provided by Zhiwei Dong
