Abstract
1. 1.|By using semi-quantitative PCR analysis, changes in the amount of the transcript for a Bombyx homolog of mammalian sorbitol dehydrogenase (BmSDH) were examined during embryogenesis in non-diapause eggs. 2. 2.|Occurrence of the transcript for BmSDH correlated with the two developmental phases, the growth of embryo and the formation of larval tissues. 3. 3.|In the first phase, an increase in the amount of the transcript for BmSDH resulted from embryonic cells rather than yolk cells. 4. 4.|In the second phase, the transcript was suggested to be abundant in fat-body cells of pharate larva, because it was abundant in fat-bodies of 5th instar larvae. 5. 5.|The difference in the expression of BmSDH gene between diapause and non-diapause eggs is discussed.
