Abstract excerpt

The allelic Nd-s and Nd-sD mutations of the silkworm Bombyx mori are mapped to the same locus as that of the fibroin light (L)-chain gene (Fib-L). The silkworm carrying the homozygous Nd-s or Nd-sD mutation secretes less than 0.3% of the normal level of fibroin and produces a thin cocoon (naked pupa). In this study, cDNA sequences of the Nd-s and Nd-sD L-chains were compared with the cDNA and genomic sequences of...
