Molting-deficient phenotype of Ppa-mlt mutants. Post-hatching stage 2 juvenile (J2) to J3 molt (A) Ppa-mlt(csu26), and (B) Ppa-mlt(csu28). Pre-hatching molt (C) Ppa-mlt(csu26), and (D) Ppa-mlt(csu28). White arrows indicate unshed cuticle from previous stage. The unshed cuticle in the mutants can be observed in the posterior (A, B) and mid-body (C, D) regions - a phenotype not observed in wild-type. Scale bars = 20 μm.
