Identification of differentially expressed genes in the pheromone glands of mated and virgin Bombyx mori by digital gene expression profiling.

BACKGROUND: Mating decreases female receptivity and terminates sex pheromone production in moths. Although significant progress has been made in elucidating the mating-regulated inactivation of pheromone biosynthesis-activating neuropeptide (PBAN) secretion, little is known about the mating induced...
