Journal ArticleDOI

RNA interference in Lepidoptera: An overview of successful and unsuccessful studies and implications for experimental design

Olle Terenius, +78 more
TL;DR: Despite a large variation in the data, trends that are found are that RNAi is particularly successful in the family Saturniidae and in genes involved in immunity and that gene expression in epidermal tissues seems to be most difficult to silence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Amino acid sequence of pheromone-biosynthesis-activating neuropeptide (PBAN) of the silkworm, Bombyxmori

TL;DR: In this article, two distinct pheromone-biosynthesis-activating neuropeptides (PBAN) were isolated from adult heads of the silkworm Bombyx mori.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional diversity of a neurohormone produced by the suboesophageal ganglion: molecular identity of melanization and reddish colouration hormone and pheromone biosynthesis activating neuropeptide

TL;DR: Melanization and reddish colouration hormone (MRCH) which regulates colour polymorphism associated with phase variation in the armyworm species has been purified from a head extract of the silkworm and revealed interspecific activity both in cuticular melanization and in sex pheromone production.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pheromone gland-specific fatty-acyl reductase of the silkmoth, Bombyx mori

TL;DR: In experiments designed to characterize a pheromone-gland-specific FAR in the silkmoth, Bombyx mori, a cDNA clone encoding a protein homologous to a FAR from the desert shrub, Simmondsia chinensis, commonly known as jojoba is isolated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Involvement of a bifunctional fatty-acyl desaturase in the biosynthesis of the silkmoth, Bombyx mori, sex pheromone

TL;DR: In this article, the authors have cloned three cDNAs encoding desaturase family members from the pheromone gland of the inbred strain of the silkmoth, Bombyx mori.
