Abstract excerpt
Gr16 (chromosome 2, 6.9 cM) is a dominant, grey egg mutation of the domestic silkmoth, Bombyx mori, which produces an opaque instead of a translucent chorion. To determine the underlying cause of this defect, we examined the effects of the mutation on chorion ultrastructure, protein accumulation,...
