Endoreplication, known as endocycles or endoreduplication, is a cell cycle variant in which the genomic DNA is re-replicated without mitosis leading to polyploidy. Endoreplication is essential for the development and functioning of the different organs in animals and plants. Deletion of Geminin, a DNA replication licensing inhibitor, causes DNA re-replication or damage. However, the role of Geminin in endoreplication is still unclear. Here, we studied the role of Geminin in the endoreplication of the silk gland cells of silkworms by constructing two transgenic silkworm strains, including BmGeminin1-overexpression and BmGeminin1-RNA interference. Interference of BmGeminin1 led to body weight gain, increased silk... More
