Protein Level Changes Under Magnetic Exposure of Larvae in Bombyx mori: A Multivoltine Mulberry Silkworm
نویسنده
چکیده
Influence of magnetic field on biological system has been reported. The study reveals effect of magnetization of Bombyx mori larvae on the total protein content level in the silk gland, fat body and haemolymph of fifth instar larvae. First instar larvae were magnetized in 1000, 2000, 3000 and 4000 Gauss magnetic field for 30 minutes in a day till first moulting. Variation in the strength of magnetic field significantly (P<0.01) influenced to the protein content in the silk gland, fat body and haemolymph of fifth instar larvae. The total protein content was increased with increase in the strength of magnetic field from 1000 to 3000 Gauss while in 4000 Gauss, the protein content was decreased. The total protein content was maximum in 3000 Gauss magnetic field and recorded to be 27.342±0.732, 20.246±0.632 and 16.246±0.743 μm/mg in silk gland, fat body and haemolymph, respectively. Since protein is major and chief constituents of silk thus, the magnetization of larvae may be boon for sericulture industries to increase the production of silk and economic characters of silkworm.
