Abstract excerpt

Efficient resource utilization plays a central role in the high productivity of domesticated plants and animals. Whether artificial selection acts on digestive enzymes in the domesticated silkworm (Bombyx mori), which is larger than its wild ancestor, Bombyx mandarina (B. mandarina), remains unknown. In this study, we present the characteristics of a novel alpha-amylase, BmAmy1, in B. mori. The activity of...
