Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how environment-induced epigenetics affect diapause regulation in silkworms, particularly focusing on the role of -adenosine methylation (mA) in nutrient metabolism.
- Researchers compared the mA levels of specific genes in lipid metabolism from silkworms subjected to different incubation temperatures to observe differences in diapause and non-diapause egg production.
- Results showed that knocking down specific genes in non-diapause eggs led to a phenotypic change, and the study concluded that mA modification is important for regulating diapause traits, linking epigenetics to lipid metabolism.
Background: Research has shown that epigenetic modification are involved the regulation of diapause in bivoltine silkworms (Bombyx mori), but it remains unclear how epigenetic modification in response to environmental signals precisely to regulate the diapause processing of bivoltine B. mori.
Methods And Results: In this study, the diapause terminated eggs of bivoltine B.
