Transgenic Ectopic Overexpression of Broad Complex (<i>BrC-Z2</i>) in the Silk Gland Inhibits the Expression of Silk Fibroin Genes of <i>Bombyx mori</i>

Transgenic Ectopic Overexpression of Broad Complex (<i>BrC-Z2</i>) in the Silk Gland Inhibits the Expression of Silk Fibroin Genes of <i>Bombyx mori</i>

<i>Bombyx mori</i> silk protein genes are strictly turned on and off in different developmental stages under the hormone periodically change. The broad complex (<i>BrC</i>) is a transcription factor mediating 20-hydroxyecdysone action, which plays important roles during metam...
