Disruption of an N-acetyltransferase gene in the silkworm reveals a novel role in pigmentation.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Dec 2010

Abstract excerpt

The pigmentation of insects has served as an excellent model for the study of morphological trait evolution and developmental biology. The melanism (mln) mutant of the silkworm Bombyx mori is notable for its strong black coloration, phenotypic differences between larval and adult stages, and its...
