Transcriptional response of male silkworm (Bombyx mori) gonad to NaF exposure
The silkworm larvae were randomly divided into two experimental groups with three replicates, and fed with mulberry leaves treated with either deionized water (control) or 200 mg/L NaF solution (treatment) for 15 min from the first day of fourth instar to the sixth day of fifth instar. The larvae fed with leaves treated with deionized water were designated as control groups (C), whereas those fed with NaF-treated leaves were designated as NaF groups (NaF), correspondingly.
