The biogenesis pathway of tRNA-derived piRNAs in Bombyx germ cells. [PDF]
Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) function in translational machinery and further serves as a source of short non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). tRNA-derived ncRNAs show differential expression profiles and play roles in many biological processes beyond translation ...

Characterisation of Bombyx mori odorant-binding proteins reveals that a general odorant-binding protein discriminates between sex pheromone components [PDF]
In many insect species, odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are thought to be responsible for the transport of pheromones and other semiochemicals across the sensillum lymph to the olfactory receptors (ORs) within the antennal sensilla.

Silencing of two insulin receptor genes disrupts nymph-adult transition of alate brown citrus aphid [PDF]
Insulin receptors play key roles in growth, development, and polymorphism in insects. Here, we report two insulin receptor genes (AcInR1 and AcInR2) from the brown citrus aphid, Aphis (Toxoptera) citricidus.

Analysis of genes influencing the feeding of Bombyx mori by genome resequencing
Bombyx mori belonging to the Lepidoptera family of insects, is an oligophagous insect that feeds on mulberry leaves. But why the silkworm has a soft spot for mulberry leaves is still a scientific mystery.
