Abstract
Long term preservation experiment through refrigeration was conducted for 2 year on 300 lines of silkworm races preserved, as one method for the development of long term safe preservation technique. Experiment with 6 treatments was conducted for 680 days from July 1 st 2000 to May 1st 2002. Embryonic development was conducted to each treatment. There are no differences among treatments and races in 400 days preservation, the stage of whole embryonic development was Eul B and condition of eggs was good. In 650 days preservation experiment, differences were reveled among races and treatment, the level of whole embryonic development was Byeong A and condition of eggs was good. The order of embryonic development is European races >Tropical, Korean races >Japanese, Chinese races, thus European races showed fast embryonic development. Control(treatment A) and treatment C showed faster development than other treatments. And treatment D and F showed stable individual stage among all treatments. The test of shape characteristics and embryo which were conducted in hatching period showed 61% of high line succession possibility in average of 6 treatments. But treatment A and B showed no hatching, 3 lines of treatment C, 48 lines of treatment D, 1 line of treatment E, and 29 lines of treatment F showed slow development. And treatments D and F which showed stable embryo condition had highest possibility. The two treatments D and F showed good result among six treatments, and the preservation period of treatment D and F are 235 days and 310 days, and exposure period in $-2.5^{\circ}C$...was longer than other treatments. Numbers of hatched lines of treatment D and F are 48 and 29, and occupied 15.6% and 9.4% of all tested lines, respectively. Average hatching ratio of treatment D and F were 54.% and 71.6%, and average dead egg ratio were 12.6% and 2.4%, respectively. These results show that average ratio of hatching dead eggs in treatment D and F are higher than general line. Thus reconsideration of hatching condition on treatment D and F is needed.
