[/]: Japan researchers recently transgenic technology, can spit with green fluorescent fluorescent pink silk or silk of silkworms. They believe that this kind of silk in the fashion and decoration market prospect.

According to media reports, Japan to silkworm implantation Bowl jellyfish of fluorescent protein gene, it'll spit out a inferior in natural light tinted green silk; to silkworm implantation coral fluorescent protein gene, it'll spit out in natural light pink silk under. This technology by the Japan Institute of Agrobiological resources and Gumma silk Technology Center to develop.

The report says that researchers have the breeding can be put into the actual production of transgenic silkworm eggs. In addition, they also improves of reeling method. In the past with the hot water cocoon spinning method destroys fluorescent protein, the new method is below 60 degrees Celsius temperatures, add reagents and vacuum pot cocoon tights, this method does not destroy the fluorescent protein.
