Abstract
The varnished eye mutant (ve) of the silkworm, Bombyx mori exhibited undeveloped ommatidia in the adult compound eyes. However, the morphology and growth rate of the stemmata, a larval optic organ located on both sides of the head capsule in 6 pairs, were completely normal in developing ve larvae. Also the sectional structures of the stemmata observed under a light microscope did not show any abnormality in the mutant. These results suggest that the formation and growth of larval stemmata are not affected by the ve mutant gene.
