Laccase2-Mediated Mandibular Development Is Crucial for Larval Feeding Behavior in the Silkworm, Bombyx mori
Simple Summary Laccase2 (Lac2) is a conserved insect gene essential for cuticle formation, pigmentation, and survival. However, its potential roles in insect feeding remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the function of Lac2 in the silkworm, Bombyx mori, using CRISPR/Cas9 system. Our findings suggest...
