In mulberry (Morus sp.), grown for its foliage, which is the sole food for the silkworm (Bombyx mori L.), evolving high yielding varieties is a long drawn and laborious process. One of the important selection parameter that has significant positive correlation with leaf yield is Total Shoot Length [TSL] of the mulberry plant. Measuring the length of all the shoots of the test genotypes to get t...

This study was carried out to examine trends in crop water requirement under several climate change scenarios provide projections of changes mulberry. According Indian Network for Climate Change Assessment (INCCA) and Inter-Governmental Panel (IPCC), which may be included assessment were developed from their reports. A CROPWAT-8.0 model utilized determine the required requirements crops a varie...

Fabry disease is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency of α-galactosidase A. This disease is classified into two types, namely a classical and variant type. We herein present the case of a 36-year-old man who showed a renal variant of Fabry disease and was diagnosed at an early stage by the presence of mulberry cells. He had no history of general symptoms except for proteinuria. T...

Sericulture or silk farming is the rearing of silkworms for the production of raw silk. The mulberry silkworm, Bombyx mori, is a domesticated and monophagous insect which feeds only on the leaves of mulberry for its nutrition. Thiadiazoles are heterocyclic compounds containing oxygen and nitrogen. 1, 3, 4, thiadiazoles are extensively studied and are known to play diverse biological activities....

common drying systems, including hot air convection, infrared, vacuum and ir-convective were employed to investigate and analyze the drying process of mulberry fruits. to evaluate the effect of pretreatment on the drying phenomenon, samples were pretreated by being subjected to: microwaves, chemical preparation, mechanical as well as blanching approaches. results revealed that the microwave pre...

Abstract 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) has certain medicinal value in lowering blood sugar, fat, antiviral and anti-tumor, Mulberry is one of known species with the highest DNJ content. To take full advantage benefits mulberry, internal relationships genetic diversity SSR markers content was assessed this study, so as to provide basis for exploitation breeding mulberry resources high The results sho...

Mulberry (Morus, Moraceae) is an important economic plant that considered zinc-rich. Zinc (Zn) a micronutrient plays vital roles in various bio-processes plants and animals. In the present study, comparative transcriptome analysis associated with physiological indicators was performed to reveal potential mechanism different organs response zinc toxicity mulberry. Physiological mulberry treated ...

an experiment was conducted to study the effect on performance of silkworm bombyx mori l., when fed by leaves of different mulberry varieties a crd design with 12 tratments (including kamasari, kaeiryo ichinose, kaeerizhotezomigaeeshi, tachibana, ichinose, chekemaoha, yukishinogi, shin ichinose, wasemidori, roso, kenmochi, as well as some local varieties in 4 replications. the larvae were reare...

The research work was carried out to evaluate and compare the growth performance and productivity of a strain of silkworm, Bombyx mori (EC1) fed with three different varieties of mulberry plant (K2, S-36 and E-Lobe).The experiment was carried out at ambient conditions 37oC and 55% R.H. The parameters used to evaluate the growth performance were larval length, width and weight while the characte...
