The purpose of this study was to evaluate the physiological and biochemical changes that occur in mulberry (cv. local and Sujanpuri) plants under alkaline conditions in order to understand the response of these cultivars to alkalinity. Mulberry plants were subjected to different treatments using NaHCO3 and after 20, 40 and 60 days, different physiological and biochemical parameters were studied...

MR 2 variety mulberry leaves were sterilized with UV light for 5, 10 and 15 minutes. These leaves were fed to PM x NB 4 D 2 hybrid silkworm Bombyx mori Linn. life stages and recorded the macromolecular contents (total protein, reducing sugar and glycogen) and digestive enzymes (amylase, invertase and protease) activities. Results revealed feeding of silkworm B. mori with UV treated mulberry lea...

Mulberry pyralid, Glyphodes pyloalis Walker is an important pest on mulberry. The essential oil of Rosemary Rosemarinus officinalis L. (Lamiales: Lamiaceae) has been investigated on toxicity and physiological characteristics of this moth under controlled conditions. The major compounds of the oil were analyzed as 1, 8 Cineol (20.021%), Borneol (7.17%), Camphor (6.541%), Geraniol (6.281%), Camph...

Mulberry plants have wide range of variations in characters view its adaptability to cross pollination with no inter-specific reproduction barrier rendering it a heterozygous species. Every plant being different from the other natural population, this great diversity makes difficult gather information and carry out studies on effect edaphic factors expression genotypic for adjudging variations....

Exploitation of wild relatives of crop plants to a large extent depends on the efficient use of germplasm resources available in natural habitat and the centre of diversity. The mulberry, sole food for silkworm is cultivated for the production and development of silkworm industry. Four species of mulberry viz., M. indica L., M. alba L., M. laevigata Wall., and M. serrata Roxb., are reported in ...

Infections caused by Candida albicans are generally common in the vaginal mucosa or called Vulvovaginal Candidiasis. Herbal medicine is proven to be an alternative treat candidiasis. Mulberry leaves have many chemical compounds, one of which anthocyanins. Anthocyanins pharmacological benefits and biological activity that can protect against human pathogenic bacteria. This study aims observe eff...

abstract more than %90 of natural silk in world is produced by means of mulberry silkworm (bombyx mori l.). therefore, it is important that we recognize and collect mulberry varieties which have high quantity and quality leaf performance. for this purpose, an experiment was conducted with five mulberry varieties (kenmochi, kairyonase, ichinose, shinichinose and local varieties) during two seaso...

The study aimed to revive the Sericulture in our area after three decades of absence and investigate role supplemental feeding on silk glands, larval growth, some economic traits cocoons mulberry silkworms (Bombyx mori). Larvae 5th instar fed vitamin C during their 4th instars showed a significant increase length (6.953 ± 0.248 mm). Mature larvae weight (3.690±0.129 g). Vitamin was most effecti...
