Abstract in brief

  • Aristaless1 (Al1) has dual functions in butterfly development, influencing both appendage formation and wing color patterning.
  • Al1 controls the switch between white and yellow wing scales, with its expression linked to the development of specific pigment cells during pupation.
  • The regulation of Al1 is influenced by Wnt signaling, which modulates its levels to determine pigment synthesis and color patterning on butterfly wings.
