Bombyx mori, commonly known as the domestic silk moth, is a moth species belonging to the family Bombycidae. ... At least 3,000 silkworm genes are unique, and have no ...
Bombyx mori bidensovirus Bidensovirus is a genus of single stranded DNA viruses that infect invertebrates. The species in this genus were originally classified in the family Parvoviridae (subfamily Densovirinae ) but were moved to a new genus because of significant differences in the genomes.
LINE elements propagate by a so-called target primed reverse transcription mechanism (TPRT), which was first described for the R2 element from the silkworm Bombyx mori. ORF2 (and ORF1 when present) proteins primarily associate in cis with their encoding mRNA , forming a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex, likely composed of two ORF2s and an ...
The best-known species is Bombyx mori , or domestic silk moth, native to northern China and domesticated for millennia. Another well-known species is Bombyx mandarina , also native to Asia. Taxonomy
"Significant Levels of Sequence Divergence and Gene Rearrangements have Occurred Between the Mitochondrial Genomes of the Wild Mulberry Silkmoth, Bombyx mandarina, and its Close Relative, the Domesticated Silkmoth, Bombyx mori". Molecular Biology and Evolution. 19 (8): 1385–1389. doi: 10.1093/oxfordjournals.molbev.a004200. PMID 12140251.
An insect two-hybrid (I2H) system was developed in a silkworm cell line from the larva or caterpillar of the domesticated silk moth, Bombyx mori (BmN4 cells). This system uses the GAL4 BD and the activation domain of mouse NF-κB P65. Both are under the control of the OpIE2 promoter. [35]
500,000 scent glands of the female silkmoth (Bombyx mori) were needed to elucidate the molecular structure of bombycol. [1] Structural formula of bombycol, the first clearly chemically identified insect pheromone. Insect pheromones are neurotransmitters that serve the chemical communication between individuals of an insect species.
Sericin is a protein created by Bombyx mori (silkworms) in the production of silk. [1] Silk is a fibre produced by the silkworm in production of its cocoon. It consists mainly of two proteins, fibroin and sericin. Silk consists of 70–80% fibroin and 20–30% sericin; fibroin being the structural center of the silk, and sericin being the gum ...
