Agriculture plays a key role in the economy of Uzbekistan. Its importance is not limited to goals providing food population. This reflected cultural heritage and traditions people Uzbekistan rural areas, each region with its own characteristics diversity. Today, agriculture general, including cocooning, provides jobs income significant part population remains driving force growth At same time, ...

The present study was conducted mainly to explore the possibility of multiple cocoon crops in North West India and expected that introduction additional between spring autumn will force pruning mulberry trees before crop hence, it help productivity improvement during crop. field trial with 9 selected rearers sponsored by Department Sericulture, J&K & Himachal Pradesh laboratory rearing ...

Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrosis virus (BmNPV) is a major pathogen that threatens the growth and sustainability of the sericulture industry. Since microRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to play important roles in host-pathogen interactions, in this study we investigated the effects of BmNPV infection on silkworm microRNAs expression profile. To achieve this, we constructed and deep-sequenced two smal...

Bivoltine rearing in tropical regions is highly unpredictable due to fluctuating temperature and humidity conditions. It is therefore extremely imperative to develop a stable bivoltine cocoon crop under adverse environment of the tropices. Improvement of the existing bivoltine lines through introgression of true multivoltine tolerant factors by conventional backcross breeding strategy leading t...

The bacterial diseases of silkworms cause significant reductions in sericulture and result in huge economic loss. This study aimed to identify and characterize a pathogen from diseased silkworm. SW7-1, a pathogenic bacterial strain, was isolated from the diseased silkworm. The strain was identified on the basis of its bacteriological properties and 16S rRNA gene sequence. The colony was round, ...
