Embryonic thermosensitive TRPA1 determines transgenerational diapause phenotype of the silkworm, Bombyx mori.

Metabolic Shifts in Carbohydrate Metabolism during Embryonic Development of Non-Diapause Eggs of the Silkworm, Bombyx mori

Studies on the Mode of Action of the Diapause Hormone in the Silkworm, Bombyx Mori L. Vi. the Target Organ of the Diapause Hormone

The silk proteins, sericin and fibroin in silkworm, Bombyx mori Linn., - a review

The domesticated silkworm, Bombyx mori Linn., a lepidopteran molecular model and an important economic insect that are emerging as an ideal molecular genetic resource for solving a broad range of biological problems. The silkworm, B. mori produces massive amount of silk proteins during the final stage of larval development. These proteins are stored in the middle silk gland and they are dischar...

Diapause Prevention Effect of Bombyx mori by Dimethyl Sulfoxide

HCl treatment has been, for about 80 years, the primary method for the prevention of entry into embryonic diapauses of Bombyx mori. This is because no method is as effective as the HCl treatment. In this study, we discovered that dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) prevented entry into the diapause of the silkworm, Bombyx mori. The effect of diapause prevention was 78% as a result of treatment with 100% ...

Studies on the Mode of Action of the Diapause Hormone in the Silkworm, Bombyx Mori L. I. the Action of Diapause Hormone Injected into Pupae of Different Ages

The effect of temperature on the voltinism of the silkworm, Bombyx rnori, was discovered by Watanabe (1918) over 45 years ago. This followed the rinding of the important role of photoperiod during the incubation period of silkworm eggs (Kogure, 1933). In brief, whether diapause or non-diapause eggs are laid depends on temperature and light experienced by the mother during her embryonic life. In...
