The complete mitochondrial genome of a balanced sex-linked lethal silkworm and its phylogenetic analysis

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
Male-only rearing has long been desirable in sericulture because males have superior economic characteristics. To this end, a balanced sex-linked lethal (BSL) system has been developed.

A novel rhabdovirus persistently infects lepidopteran cell lines

Virus Research
A novel rhabdovirus was identified in BmN-4 (BmN) cells derived from Bombyx mori and Sf9 cells derived from Spodoptera frugiperda. Genome sequence homology revealed that this novel virus is distinct from the previously reported Spodoptera frugiperda ...

Bombyxin (Bombyx Insulin-Like Peptide) Increases the Respiration Rate Through Facilitation of Carbohydrate Catabolism in Bombyx mori

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
Bombyxin-II, an insulin-like peptide of the silkmoth Bombyx mori, has been shown to reduce both the trehalose concentration in the hemolymph and the glycogen content in some tissues of B. mori larvae.

Identification of sulfakinin receptor regulating feeding behavior and hemolymph trehalose homeostasis in the silkworm, Bombyx mori

Scientific Reports
Feeding behavior, the most fundamental physiological activity, is controlled by two opposing groups of factors, orexigenic and anorexigenic factors. The sulfakinin family, an insect analogue of the mammalian satiety factor cholecystokinin (CCK), has been

Functional characterization of a novel protein-coding circular RNA, circRNA_1193, from the mAAP gene in silkworm and its role in antiviral defense against BmCPV

mBio
A novel circular RNA, circRNA_1193, which originates from the membrane alanyl aminopeptidase-like gene in silkworms, was explored for its potential function and regulatory mechanism.

Egg Microinjection for the Silkworm Bombyx mori.

Bio-protocol
The silkworm Bombyx mori has been extensively utilized in sericulture and serves as a representative model insect of Lepidoptera in various fields of life sciences and applied research. In recent years, its significance has further increased in molecular genetics and functional genomics. Germline transformation and genome editing in B. mori require the
