Popis: The bivoltine strain of thedomesticsilkworm, Bombyx mori, has two generations per year. It shows a facultativediapausephenotype determined by environmental conditions, including photoperiod andtemperature, and nutrient conditions during embryonic and larval development of the mother. However, it remains unclear how the environmental signals received during development are selectively utilized as cues to determine alternativediapausephenotypes. We performed a comparative analysisbetweenthe Kosetsu strain of B. mori and a Japanese population of thewildmulberrysilkworm B. mandarina concerning the hierarchical molecular mechanismsindiapauseinduction. Our results showed that for the Kosetsu,temperaturesignals during the mother's embryonic development predominantly affecteddiapausedetermination through the thermosensitive transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) anddiapausehormone (DH) signaling pathways. However, embryonicdiapauseinB. mandarina was photoperiod-dependent, although the DH signaling pathway and thermal sensitivity of TRPA1 were conserved within both species. Based on these findings, we hypothesize that TRPA1-activated signals are strongly linked to the signaling pathway participatingindiapauseinductioninKosetsu to selectively utilize thetemperatureinformation as the cue becausetemperature-dependentinductionwas replaced byphotoperiodicinductioninthe TRPA1 knockout mutant.
