Bmlark is essential for embryonic development
The expression levels of 63 putative cuticle protein genes, eight WCP genes, and five pigment synthesis genes significantly changed in Bmlark mutant B. mori compared to those of the wildtype. These results suggest that Bmlark is essential for normal development of cuticle and tyrosine-mediated melanization in silkworm embryos.
