가잠유충의 행동반응성에 관한 연구 II. 행동반경에 대한 품종간 차이

Studies on the Behavioral Response in Silkworm Larvae, Bombyx mori II. Strain Difference on Walking Distance

경상남도잠종장에서 보유하고 있는 보유잠품종 23개 품종과 1986년 현재 우리나라 장려잠품종으로 지정되어 있는 16개 원종을 합한 39개 잠품종을 대상으로 유충의 행동반경을 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 잠아의 행동반경은 품종간 차이가 현저하였으며 유충의 각령기에 따른 평균행동은 숙잠(9.24cm)이 가장 컸고 다음은 의잠(2.58cm)이었으며 3령(0.72cm)과 5령(1.18cm)은 극히 작았다. 2. 각 품종의 상대적 행동반경의 크기는 각 령기와 더불어 항상 일정하지는 않았다. 3. 1령, 3령 및 5령기에 있어서 각 품종의 계통별 행동반경의 분포범위는 유럽종계통의 경우 큰 것에서부터 작은 것에 이르기까지 폭넓게 분포하였으며 중국종계통은 그 범위가 좁았고 일본종계통은 그 중간이었다. 한편 숙잠기의 경우는 계통간 그 차이가 뚜렷하지 않았다.

The strain differences in larval walking behavior of 39 silkworm varieties, Bombyy mori, have been investigated. larval walking distance in silkworm varieties were remakably different. The walking distance was the longest in the matured larvae following the newly hatched larvae and in the other larval stage the distance was very short. The means of the walking distance in larval stages were as follows ; newly hatched larvae was 2.58cm, 3rd instar 0.72cm, 5th instar 1.18cm and matured larvae 2.94cm. The length of relative walking distances in each variety was not always in proportion to each larval stage. Therefore, the controlling factor of walking behavior was assumed to be different by the each larval stage. In the newly hatched larvae, 3rd instar and 5th instar larvae, the distribution range of walking distance was very broad in European races, narrow in Chinese races and medium in Japanese races. There was not much differences in the walking distance of mature larvae among European, Chinese and Japanese races.
