In holometabolous insects, various larval organs are remodeled by autophagy during metamorphosis. Although moths and butterflies are among the first animal models in which this self-eating process was described, only in recent years autophagy has been analyzed in detail in these insects. In particular, the silkworm Bombyx mori, which represents a well-studied model among Lepidoptera, provides a wide repertoire of cellular and molecular tools useful for studying the occurrence of autophagy and for evaluating its role in postembryonic development. Here, we describe some morphological, biochemical, and molecular methods to monitor autophagy in silkworm organs.

Abstract
In holometabolous insects, various larval organs are remodeled by autophagy during metamorphosis. Although moths and butterflies are among the first animal models in which this self-eating process was described, only in recent years autophagy has been analyzed in detail in these insects. In particular, the silkworm Bombyx mori, which represents a well-studied model among Lepidoptera, provides a wide repertoire of cellular and molecular tools useful for studying the occurrence of autophagy and for evaluating its role in postembryonic development. Here, we describe some morphological, biochemical, and molecular methods to monitor autophagy in silkworm organs.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
