Abstract
The fibroin L chain of an inbred strain of B. mori gives a single band on SDS[sodium dodecyl sulfate]-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis by a Laemmli system. From the electrophoretic mobility of the band, fibroin L chains from various inbred strains of the silkworm were classified into 3 groups, A, B and C. Linkage analysis of the fibroin L chain gene was performed by observing the relevant phenotypes, using a silkworm strain of Tamanashikasuri (L chain phenotype C) and 16 silkworm stocks (L chain phenotype A or B) carrying genetic markers on each chromosome. The fibroin L chain gene was not linked to the fibroin H chain gene locating on the 25th chromosome carrying the Nd(2) mutation, but was linked to the U gene locating on the 14th chromosome.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
