Evidence of peripheral olfactory impairment in the domestic silkworms: insight from the comparative transcriptome and population genetics

Abstract Background The insect olfactory system is a highly specific and sensitive chemical detector, which plays important roles in feeding, mating and finding an appropriate oviposition site. The ecological niche of Bombyx mori has changed greatly since domestication from B. mandarina, and its olf...
