Effects of Osiris9a on Silk Properties in <i>Bombyx mori</i> Determined by Transgenic Overexpression

Osiris is an insect-specific gene family with multiple biological roles in development, phenotypic polymorphism, and protection. In the silkworm, we have previously identified twenty-five Osiris genes with high evolutionary conservation and remarkable synteny among several insects. <i>Bombxy m...
