Decades have passed since the early molecular embryogenesis of Drosophila melanogaster was outlined. During this period, the molecular mechanisms underlying early embryonic development in other insects, particularly the flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum, have been described in more detail. The information clearly demonstrated that Drosophila embryogenesis is not representative of other insects and has highly distinctive characteristics. At the same time, this new data has been gradually clarifying ancestral operating mechanisms. The silk moth, Bombyx mori, is a lepidopteran insect and, as a representative of the order, has many unique characteristics found in early embryonic development that have not been identified in other insect groups. Herein, some of these characteristics are introduced and discussed in the context of recent information obtained from other insects.
自黑腹果蝇早期分子胚胎发生过程被概述以来，数十年已经过去。在此期间，其他昆虫，特别是赤拟谷盗早期胚胎发育的分子机制已被更详细地描述。这些信息清楚地表明，果蝇胚胎发生并不代表其他昆虫，具有高度独特的特征。与此同时，这些新数据也在逐渐阐明祖先的运作机制。家蚕是一种鳞翅目昆虫，作为该目的代表，在早期胚胎发育中具有许多在其他昆虫类群中未发现的独特特征。本文将结合从其他昆虫获得的最新信息，介绍并讨论其中的一些特征。
