Dimapur (Nagaland, India) is dominated by undifferentiated hillside slopes and alluvial plains. The Muga Eri silk industries are important cultural economic activities for the inhabitants of Dimapur. Profitable production requires adequate quality quantity healthy leaves highly dependent on soil fertility region. Keeping this in view, present study was carried out as a first attempt to prepare ...

Abstract Mulberry is a fundamental component of the global sericulture industry, and its positive impact on our health environment cannot be overstated. However, mulberry reference genomes reported previously remained unassembled or unplaced sequences. Here, we report assembly analysis telomere-to-telomere gap-free genome species, Morus notabilis, which has emerged as an important in gene funct...

The removal and use of sericin could have a strong economic, social, environmental impact, particularly in countries where sericulture is practiced, especially Bangladesh. Because our country Bangladesh, waste material the industry. Several techniques been adopted for extraction, but maintaining its chemical properties after extraction environment-friendly methods are still major challenge. Ser...

The Study was carried out at Department of Sericulture, UAS, GKVK, Bengaluru under irrigated condition during the 2020-21 to study effect soil application liquid organic manures in mulberry and its on larval cocoon traits silkworm, V-1 variety planted 90+150 × 60 cm spacing. Three different were tested against recommended dose fertilizer (control), leaf quality assessed via feeding silkworm. Si...

Nosema bombycis, the first identified microsporidium, is a destructive pathogen of the silkworm Bombyx mori and causes severe worldwide economic losses in sericulture. Major microsporidian structural proteins, such as the spore wall protein (SWP), are known to be involved in host invasion. In this study, the reactivity of the monoclonal antibody 2B10 was tested against an endospore protein of N...

Bombyx mori is an insect whose cocoon is used in the sericulture industry, which is an important activity in parts of southern Brazil. When parasitized by Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) of the genus Alphabaculovirus (alphaBV), it develops nuclear polyhedrosis disease. In Brazil, an alphaBV was isolated from larvae of B. mori and various target tissues were identified. However, how thi...

Effect of phytoecdysteroid on weight of ovary and weight of egg of multivoltine mulberry silkworm Bombyx mori was studied. Variation in the phytoecdysteroid concentration and number of larval treatment (treated the larvae) influenced the weight of ovary and weight of B. mori eggs. Experiments were performed by 40, 50, 60 and 70% concentration of phytoecdysteroid obtained from Achyranthes leaf e...

Mulberry is an important cultivated plant that has received the attention of biologists interested in sericulture and plant-insect interaction. Morus notabilis, a wild mulberry species with a minimal chromosome number is an ideal material for whole-genome sequencing and assembly. The genome and transcriptome of M. notabilis were sequenced and analyzed. In this article, a web-based and open-acce...

We developed a novel antiviral strategy by combining transposon-based transgenesis and the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated 9 (Cas9) system for the direct cleavage of Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) genome DNA to promote virus clearance in silkworms. We demonstrate that transgenic silkworms constitutively expressing Cas9 and guide RNA...

The domesticated silkworm, Bombyx mori Linn., a lepidopteran molecular model and an important economic insect that are emerging as an ideal molecular genetic resource for solving a broad range of biological problems. The silkworm, B. mori produces massive amount of silk proteins during the final stage of larval development. These proteins are stored in the middle silk gland and they are dischar...
