title: The integument of quail mutant at 16 h after head capsule slippage (HCS) in the fourth molt
organism: Bombyx mori
description: The quail is a pigment mutant. It has light crescent marking and star spot marking by melanin along the head-to-tail axis, with the star spot marking more dispersive than in wild-type. The q mutation results in more small black spots on the dorsal surface of the integument than in wild type strain; the larval body color of q mutants is yellowish-brown with light red on the newly molted fifth instar larva that gradually becomes lighter after eating mulberry leaf .
