Physiological and Transcriptomic Changes during the Early Phases of Adventitious Root Formation in Mulberry Stem Hardwood Cuttings Open
The initiation and induction of root primordia are of great importance for adventitious root (AR) formation in cutting propagation of horticultural and forestry crops. However, the underlying mechanisms orchestrating these early phases of …

A palmitoyltransferase <i>Approximated</i> gene <i>Bm‐app</i> regulates wing development in <i>Bombyx mori</i> Open
The silkworm Bombyx mori is an important lepidopteran model insect in which many kinds of natural mutants have been identified. However, molecular mechanisms of most of these mutants remain to be explored. Here we report the identification…

Transgenic Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat/Cas9-Mediated Viral Gene Targeting for Antiviral Therapy of Bombyx mori Nucleopolyhedrovirus Open
We developed a novel antiviral strategy by combining transposon-based transgenesis and the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated 9 (Cas9) system for the direct cleavage of Bombyx mori nucleopo…

Mutation of a palmitoyltransferase ZDHHC18-like gene is responsible for the minute wing mutation in the silkworm (<i>Bombyx mori</i>) Open
Pulpal- and adult-stage minute wing ( mw ) mutants of the silkworm Bombyx mori have much smaller wings than those of the wild type. Herein, we report the genetic and molecular mechanisms underling the formation of the minute wing. Fine map…

Molecular Cloning, Bioinformatic Analysis, and Expression of<i>Bombyx mori</i>Lebocin 5 Gene Related to<i>Beauveria bassiana</i>Infection Open
A full-length cDNA of lebocin 5 (BmLeb5) was first cloned from silkworm, Bombyx mori , by rapid amplification of cDNA ends. The BmLeb5 gene is 808 bp in length and the open reading frame encodes a 179-amino acid hydroxyproline-rich peptide…

Comparative Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Different Silk Yields of Two Silkworm Strains Open
Cocoon and silk yields are the most important characteristics of sericulture. However, few studies have examined the genes that modulate these features. Further studies of these genes will be useful for improving the products of sericultur…
