Abstract

The lifespan of the imago in the silkworm, Bombyx mori, is around one week. The N251 strain maintained at the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology has the short lifespan for imagoes dying within 4 days. It was clear from the mating experiment that the characteristic of this short lifespan is controlled by a single recessive gene. Linkage analysis of the gene regarding “Short lifespan in imago (symbol sli)” was performed by Hara's scanning linkage analysis method. The sli gene is linked with the twenty-first cDNA linkage group and three-point experiments involving m268, m497 and sli revealed that the sli gene was located between m268 and m497. The locus of the sli gene has been determined with correction to be 7.2cM from m268 at the position 0.0 on the restriction fragment linkage group 21 (RFLG21). <br>
