Influence of Moisture Content of Mulberry Leaf on Growth and Silk Production in Bombyx mori L.
The influence of moisture content of mulberry leaf on the growth, development and moisture build up in the body of silkworm was studied by feeding with different maturity leaves to late age of silkworm larvae. Significantly higher larval moisture (79.78%), larval weight (65.65 g), pupal moisture (73.81%) was recorded in top tender leaf (high moisture) fed batches and least was recorded in the c...
متن کاملPhenyl alkyls and citronellyl glucosides from the silk cocoons of Bombyx mori L
Silk cocoons, produced by Bombyx mori L. (Bombicidae) are used to treat heart palpitation, cough, asthma and catarrh. Phytochemical investigation of the cocoons led to the isolation of alkyl substituted dioxymethylene benzene derivatives and two citronellyl glucosides for the first time characterized as n-pentanyl-3,4-(dioxymethylene) benzene (1), n-pentanyl-2,3-dioxymethylene-4-hydroxybenzene ...

متن کاملAutophagy studies in Bombyx mori
Autophagy, which is well conserved from yeast to mammals, plays essential roles in development and diseases. Using the domesticated silkworm, Bombyx mori, as a model insect, several reports on autophagy have been made recently. Autophagic features are observed in the midgut and fat body during the larval-pupal transition as well as the silk gland and ovarian nurse cells during the pupal stage. ...
متن کاملCopper in the silk formation process of Bombyx mori silkworm.
Evidence is presented here that cupric ions play a part in the natural spinning of Bombyx mori silk. Proton induced X-ray emission studies revealed that the copper content increased from the posterior part to the anterior part of silk gland, and then further increased in the silk fiber. Spectrophotometric analysis demonstrated that cupric ions formed coordination complexes with silk fibroin cha...
