Expression of bEro1 in various tissues, developmental stages of 5th instar whole body, and posterial silk grand of B. mori. (a) Expression levels of bEro1 in various tissues, including fat body (fb), skin (sk), middle silk grand (msg), malpighian vessels (mv), posterial silk grand (psg), midgut (mg) and head (he) in 5th instar three-day larvae. Relative expression levels are presented as the mean ±SD (n = 6); * p < 0.05 versus fat body. Total RNA was extracted from 5th instar (1–8 days) larvae from whole body (b) and posterial silk grand (c). Relative expression levels are presented as the mean ± SD (n = 6); * p < 0.05 versus day one.
