Fig 6 — (A) Unpierced cocoon rate of BmCoc^+/+ and BmCoc^-/- individuals. One hundred individuals of wild type and BmCoc^-/- homozygotes were randomly selected for analysis. (B) Morphological observations of BmCoc^+/+ and BmCoc^-/- cocoons. BmCoc^+/+ cocoons with pierced holes caused by the moth escaping from the cocoon are shown on the top image. Intact cocoons of BmCoc^-/- and split cocoons with a successfully metamorphosed moth inside are shown below. Bar = 1 cm. (C) Morphological observations of homozygotes naturally stored for more than six months. Inside the cocoons are dried moths that have died naturally. Bar = 2 cm.
