Genes that are involved in Bombyx body plan and silk gene regulation.
I have summed up how silk gene regulation studies in Bombyx mori have been carried out. This process has brought me naturally to realize the importance of understanding the Bombyx body plan in comparison with the body plans of other organisms. Although their current status remains preliminary, I have tried to summarize the ongoing projects and to reveal future problems to be answered.
