A Comparison of Co-expression Networks in Silk Gland Reveals the Causes of Silk Yield Increase During Silkworm Domestication
Long-term domestication and selective breeding have increased the silk yield of the domestic silkworm (Bombyx mori) by several times the amount of the silk yield of its wild ancestor (Bombyx mandarina). However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms behind the increase in silk yield during...
