Silkworm, Bombyx mori, is one of the most significant insects in silk production as well as in
biological studies. The aim of silkworm breeding is to gradually improve economically …

The activity of sericulture is declining due the reduction of mulberry production area in
sericulture practicing countries lead to adverse effects on silkworm rearing and cocoon …

Indian multivoltine mulberry silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) strains are poor in silk productivity
and fibre quality. However, they are commercially exploited for the past five decades either …

Abstract Evaluation of genetic resources is an essential prerequisite for their effective
utilization. In India, the tropical climate prevails in most of the sericultural belts, where …

Genetic parameters and economic values of cocoon traits in six commercial silkworm
varieties (110, 107, 101433, Xinhong1, Koming1 and Y) were analyzed and selection …

In the textile industry, complex cocoon traits are closely related to silk production. The aim of
the present study was to estimate genetic parameters of economic importance traits …

Mulberry silkworm (Bombyx mori L.), the most important silk producing insect, exhibits wide
diversity in morphological and biometric characters. Characterization of vast genetic …

The GENETIC VARIATION and diversity among fifty-eight POLYVOLTINE SILKWORM
GENOTYPES was estimated by using ten economic traits. The results revealed that the …

The genetic diversity of 20 silkworm stocks differing in their yield potential and nature of
voltinism was estimated through PCR amplification of the genomic DNA with 10 RAPD …

Twelve popular bivoltine silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) breeds viz., CSR2, NB4D2, SK-1,
CSR4, DUN6, SH6, SK-6, CSR19, SK-28, DUN22 and SK-31, were evaluated for their …
