Abstract excerpt
The silkworm (Bombyx mori) is a domesticated holometabolous insect, and more than 400 Mendelian mutations have been identified. Investigating the mechanism behind these silkworm mutants is essential for understanding the development of silkworms and other lepidopterans, and lethal genes could be used for pest control. The lethal silkworm mutant in the fourth instar (l-4i) has been recently found; however, the...
