Melanism patches up the defective cuticular morphological traits through promoting the up-regulation of cuticular protein-coding genes in Bombyx mori

Abstract: Melanin and cuticular proteins are important cuticle components in insect. Cuticle defects caused by mutations in cuticular protein-encoding genes can hinder melanin deposition. However, the effects of melanin variation on cuticular protein-encoding genes and the corresponding morphological traits associated with these genes are remain largely unknown. Using Bombyx mori as a model, we showed that the melanism levels during larval cuticle pigmentation correlated positively with the expression of cuticular prote… Show more
