FIGURE 11.
A binding protein and three proteins with unknown functions influence ecdysis. Peptidylprolyl isomerase B (A), BGIBMGA011399 (B), BGIBMGA003112 (C), and BGIBMGA012766 (D) were identified in silkworm molting fluids. The corresponding genes indicated were knocked down in both Tribolium larvae and pupae. The arrow (C) indicates new larva inside the old cuticle. Scale bar, 0.1 cm.
