Molecular response mechanisms of silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) to the toxicity of 1-octyl-3-methylimidazole chloride based on transcriptome analysis of midguts and silk glands

In a previous study, silkworm larvae were used as a novel model to assess the biotoxicity of ILs, which showed that ILs could cause significant physiological and biochemical changes in midguts and silk glands of the larvae, and result in the death of larvae. In order to investigate the toxicity of 1...
