QTL analysis to identify genes involved in the trade-off between silk protein synthesis and larva-pupa transition in silkworms
Taken together, our results contribute to a better understanding of the genetic basis of RPC and CSR. The identified QTL and genes that affect RPC can be used for marker-assisted and genomic selection of silkworm strains with a high RPC. This will further enhance the production efficiency of silkworms and of closely-related insects for edible and feed purposes.
