In silkworms, the white egg 1 (w-1) mutant, which is characterized by white eyes and white eggs, is deficient in Bombyx kynurenine 3–monooxygenase (KMO) activity. To investigate whether the w-1 mutant phenotype is rescued by introducing the wild-ty

Germ cell development in the silkworm Bombyx mori is interesting in that the species has no recognizable germ plasm, and its germ cells appear first on the ventral side of the embryo, not on the posterior pole as in Drosophila melanogaster. We previo

The silkworm Nd-s(D) mutant is silk fibroin-secretion deficient. In the mutant, a disulfide linkage between the heavy (H) and light (L) chains, which is essential for the intracellular transport and secretion of fibroin, is not formed because of a pa

Silk fibroin of Bombyx mori is secreted from the posterior silk gland (PSG) as a 2.3-MDa elementary unit, consisting of six sets of a disulfide-linked heavy chain (H-chain)-light chain (L-chain) heterodimer and one molecule of fibrohexamerin (fhx)/P2

The silkworm Bombyx mori is one of the most well-studied insects in terms of both genetics and physiology and is recognized as the model lepidopteran insect. To develop an efficient system for analyzing gene function in the silkworm, we investigated

We have previously reported that Bmdsx, a homologue of the sex-determining gene doublesex (dsx), was sex-specifically expressed in various tissues of the silkworm. The primary transcript of Bmdsx is alternatively spliced in males and females to yield

A reliable method is reported for the long-term preservation of ovaries and spermatozoa of the silkworm (Bombyx mori). Three studies are presented. In the first, ovaries were removed from larvae at either 3rd, 4th, or 5th instar, cryopreserved, and s

Recently, it was confirmed that embryos derived from diapausing eggs of the silkworm, Bombyx mori, begin their development and reach larval maturity on mulberry leaves, when the naked eggs are cultured in vitro. In this study, we found that the metho

We report in this paper that female moths artificially inseminated with cryopreserved sperm (-196 degrees C) could oviposit eggs when the sperm was preserved for 356days, and that the fertilization rate and the number of eggs laid were almost equival

A new method was developed for artificial insemination of the silkworm. Virgin females artificially inseminated by this method oviposited fertilized eggs at a rate almost similar to that of females mated with males. Using inactive sperm collected fro
