Abstract

To understand the relationship between DDC activity and diapause or other biological events in Antheraea yamamai, we have determined a complete cDNA sequence of DDC homologue from Antheraea yamamai and have examined expression patterns in various tissues by Northern blot analysis. (omitted)
