Identification and characterisation of a silkworm ABC transporter gene homologous to Drosophila white.

Molecular & general genetics : MGG - 1 Sept 2000

Abstract excerpt

In the silkworm, Bombyx mori, many eye- and egg-colour mutations affecting the synthesis and accumulation of ommochrome pigments have been described. In order to understand the pigment precursor transporters involved, ABC transporter genes homologous to the Drosophila white gene were isolated from the silkworm. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reactions (RT-PCR) using embryonic mRNA amplified three cDNA...
