- •
Transcriptome profiling of the silkworm spinneret and Filippi's gland revealed over 11000 expressed genes.
- •
Transcripts associated with ion transport and cuticle proteins were enriched in the spinneret.
- •
The spinneret may provide a suitable physiological and biochemical environment for the silk fiber formation.
- •
Transcripts enriched in the Filippi's gland suggested a role in transporting small solutes to the silk gland duct.
- •
One Filippi's gland specific gene (BGIBMGA013432) was identified as a putative transporter.
