Detection of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) DNA marker linked to cocoon traits in the mulberry silkworm, Bombyx mori (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae)

Cocoon weight and shell weight are the key economic traits ultimately determining silk yield. In order to detect the main quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with the cocoon traits of the mulberry silkworm, Bombyx mori, the parents of larvae that produced cocoons that differed greatly in weight...
