Exogenous melatonin and melanophore development in Xenopus
Experientia.
.
Abstract
Xenopus larvae raised from stage 21 in melatonin solution and upon a dark background had fewer head melanophores at stage 48 than control animals not exposed to melatonin. Rearing larvae in melatonin solution seems to mimic rearing larvae on a light background.
