Temporal expression profiles of the Bmsob gene.

(a) Expression profile of the Bmsob gene during silkworm embryonic development. NHL, newly hatched larvae. (b) Temporal expression of Bmsob in the silkworm from the 4^th instar larvae to the pupa stage. Total RNA samples were isolated from the whole bodies. (c) Temporal expression profile of the Bmsob gene in the development of the wing. Total RNA samples were isolated from the wing discs of larvae and the wings of pupae and moths. The Bombyx mori Actin 3 gene was used as internal control. d, day; 4^th, fourth instar; 5^th, fifth instar; W, wandering stage; P, pupa stage; P-M, the day before the moth; M, moth.
