CRISPR-Mediated Endogenous Activation of Fibroin Heavy Chain Gene Triggers Cellular Stress Responses in <i>Bombyx mori</i> Embryonic Cells

The silkworm <i>Bombyx mori</i> is an economically important insect, as it is the main producer of silk. Fibroin heavy chain (<i>FibH</i>) gene, encoding the core component of silk protein, is specifically and highly expressed in silk gland cells but not in the other cells. A...
