Abstract excerpt

Three alleles of the sericin (Ser) 2-encoding gene (Ser2), called L, C and mC, were isolated from a Bombyx mori genomic library, and two related ones, called mCL and Cv, were also characterized in B. mori European strains. The Ser2 gene gives rise to two middle silk gland mRNAs by differential sp...
