Experimental comparison strategy design. By comparing the three high-yield strains with the three low-yield strains, nine groups of DEGs were obtained. Differentially expressed in more than four of the nine groups of DEGs were defined as common DEGs. The key genes were obtained by screening the common DEGs through quantitative detection of each strain in silk glands. Finally, the association analysis with the cocoon shell weight (CSW) was conducted in key genes.
