Differential requirement of <i>nanos</i> homologs in the germline suggests the evolutionary path toward an inheritance mechanism of primordial germ cell formation in the silkmoth <i>Bombyx</i>
2022-11-24
Abstract excerpt
The lepidopteran insect Bombyx mori possesses unique embryogenesis characteristics among insects. nanos ( nos ) has conserved functions in metazoan primordial germ cell formation. Bombyx possesses four nos genes (M, N, O, P), a unique feature found in lepidopterans examined so far. Of these, maternal nosO mRNA exhibits a localization pattern: it may act as a primordial germ cell (PGC) determinant. A previous...
