The BTB-ZF gene Bm-mamo regulates pigmentation in silkworm caterpillars

The BTB-ZF gene Bm-mamo regulates pigmentation in silkworm caterpillars

The color pattern of insects is one of the most diverse adaptive evolutionary phenotypes. However, the molecular regulation of this color pattern is not fully understood. In this study, we found that the transcription factor Bm-mamo is responsible for black dilute (bd) allele mutations in the silkwo...
