Fig. 8 Ocular genetic mosaics of bal^a69 mutant and wild-type cells. (A) 24 hpf genetic mosaic embryos showing a high contribution of lineage-labeled donor cells (red) to ocular structures. (B) 5 dpf whole embryo phenotypes of wild-type donor to wild-type host (top) and bal^a69-donor to wild-type host ocular chimeras (bottom). Note the irregular pupil in the absence of other body phenotypes in the bal^a69 to wild-type ocular mosaic. (C) Ocular phenotype of wild-type to wild-type mosaics (top) show no abnormalities, whereas (D, E) bal^a69 to wild-type ocular mosaics show a spectrum of phenotypes including (D) pinhole pupils and severe microphthalmia and (E) iridophore patterning defects with cataracts.
