Larvae carrying PPO1A480V in a PPO1[+] background have melanised crystal cells in circulation, and less frequently and apparently, melanisation is seen in the lymph gland.
Melanisation at the wound site in response to physical wounding is seen in larvae and adults carrying PPO1A480V in a PPO1[+] background, as occurs in wild type.
Larvae and adults carrying PPO1A480V in a PPO1Δ background do not show melanisation at the wound site in response to physical wounding, in contrast to wild type.
PPO1A480V, PPO2Δ has abnormal wound healing | larval stage phenotype
PPO1A480V, PPO2Δ has abnormal wound healing | adult stage phenotype
