Abd-B suppresses lepidopteran proleg development in posterior abdomen.

Developmental biology - 15 Apr 2009

Tomita Shuichiro, Kikuchi Atsumi

Abstract excerpt

Pterygotes lack abdominal appendages except for pleuropods and prolegs. The larvae of some holometabolous insects develop prolegs, which are used for locomotion. We analyzed the role of the homeotic genes abd-A and Abd-B in lepidopteran proleg development using mutant analysis and embryonic RNAi in the silkworm Bombyx mori. The E(Mu) mutant developed extra prolegs in its posterior abdomen and showed the...
