... sequencing and screening with a luciferase reporter system, and found that bmo-miR-2739 and a novel miRNA (novel-miR-167) coordinately regulate the expression of VgR in Bombyx mori ( BmVgR ). Further analyses suggested that these two miRNAs direct target repression by binding directly to the BmVgR 3...

... was first isolated by positional cloning of the nm-g mutant of the silkworm Bombyx mori , which exhibits a low ecdysteroid titer and consequently causes a larval arrest phenotype. In the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster , the closest gene to nm-g is encoded by the sro locus, one of the Halloween mutant...

... an oxygenase-like protein with a Rieske electron carrier domain, from the silkworm Bombyx mori and the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster. nvd is expressed specifically in tissues that synthesize ecdysone, such as the PG. We also show that loss of nvd function in the PG causes arrest of both molting and growth...

... and a fate map of the Bombyx egg was established. 23 June 1994 © 1994 by Company of Biologists 1994 UV-laser irradiation insect egg fate map pattern formation Bombyx mori The silkworm, Bombyx mori , is a good subject for embry-ological research, owing to its well-documented...

...Kohji Ueno; Chi-Chung Hui; Masakazu Fukuta; Yoshiaki Suzuki ABSTRACT The E loci in Bombyx mori are expected to contain a homeotic gene complex specifying the identities of the larval abdominal segments. However, the molecular structure of this complex remains to be determined. We have started...
