This study was carried out to analyze physicochemical characteristics of sericin cocoon from silkworm, Bombyx mori. The degumming loss increased with increasing treatment time up to 2 hr, and temperature up to 130$^{\circ}C$. At 130$^{\circ}C$, degumming loss of Nd-s jam and Nd$\^$H/ jam were 100% while that of Baegok jam was 24%. Nd-s jam and Baegok jam ha high glycine content of 29.1∼46.3 mol% where as Nd$\^$H/ jam had high serine content of 32.6 mol%. Thermal denaturation temperatures were found at 218$^{\circ}C$ for Nd-s jam, 216$^{\circ}C$ for Nd$\^$H/ jam, and 218$^{\circ}C$ for Baegok jam. Before degumming, crystallinities obtained by FT-IR analysis were 44.3, 43.7, and 59.9% for Nd-s jam, Nd$\^$H/ jam, and Baegok jam respectively. After degumming, crystallinity increased to 61.8% for Baegok jam. Before degumming, crystallinitics obtained from XRD were 35.9, 33.5, and 47.2%, for Nd-s jam, Nd$\^$H/ jam, and Baegok jam. After degumming, crystallinity increased to 49.8% for Baegok jam. The molecular weight of Nd$\^$H/ jam were 9,417 in 1 hr, 3,744 in 2 hr, 4,944 in hr, and 3,910 in 6 hr.

Investigation of atmospheric data and rearing results was conducted to analyze the effects of atmospheric factors such as temperature and precipitation on silkworm in 8 rearing places in which local adaptation test was being conducted with different mulberry growth condition, soil and atmosphere during spring and autumn rearing season of 2006. The atmospheric characteristics of spring rearing time are as follows. The average temperatures of young silkworm, old silkworm, mounting were $17.7^{\circ}C$, $19.8^{\circ}C$, $21.5^{\circ}C$ respectively, and $1^{\circ}C$ higher than normal year. The precipitation of young silkworm, old silkworm, mounting were 15.1 mm, 6.9 mm, 7.0 mm, respectively, and 22.9 mm lower than normal year in old silkworm and mounting. The daylight hours in larval stage was 1.7 hour shorter than normal year, but no difference in mounting. Thus precipitation was lower and temperature was higher than normal year in 2006. The rearing results of 2006 were 1 kg lower than normal year in cocoon yields per 10,000 3 rd molted larvae, single cocoon weight and cocoon shell percentage were a little higher. The atmospheric characteristics of spring rearing season are as follows. The average temperatures of young silkworm, old silkworm, mounting were $25.1^{\circ}C$, $20.5^{\circ}C$ and $19.9^{\circ}C$ respectively, temperature in young silkworm was $1^{\circ}C$ higher than normal year, and temperature in old silkworm was $1.3^{\circ}C$ lower than normal year. The precipitation of young silkworm, old silkworm, mounting were 110.2 mm, 4.6 mm, 3.7 mm, respectively and there were little differences compared to normal year. The atmospheric condition of 2006 which was similar to normal year did not affect the autumn rearing results of 2006. Namely, the single cocoon weight and cocoon shell weight were not different from normal year, and the same was cocoon shell percentage.

A characteristic of subtropical zones region MK-T2 compares with an gaeryangppong, and the 9-10 schedule the times when a leaf blooms to are fast, and ratio that a branch edge by the colds becomes lean showed 5.7%, and a growth of the new branch which went out delivers 67.2 cm, mulberry loaves of the new branch which went out, and 18.6, a form of a leaf is the 1.10 that length of a leaf grew more a bit than width of a leaf up. Thickness of a leaf is $228.2{\mu}m$, and an area is more similar than gaeryangppong as $225.6cm^2$. in plant taxonomy, the hair whom the style exists short with 0.7 mm, and go to the pistil head inside so as to be rare is distributed, and belong to Dolichostylae Pubescentes. The new branch cutting which executed without remedy processes was independent of a thickness of a case branch, and the form and 100% root was said, and an gaeryangppong compared with the fact that 10% root went out of 15 mm ideal, and was excellent very, and looked, a root went out a root the soil and water, all showed a characteristic to go out at central of a branch bases at 45% ratio. Length was 24.6 mm, and were water rate 78.8%, and mulberry of MK-T2 was carrying together sweetness and acidity to pH 4.7 while, besides, arrival was 19.21 Brix%. A larva period and pupa ratio, cocoon thickness ratio are almost similar to gaeryangppong, or weight of one cocoon, cocoon thickness, 20,002 cocoon quantity shows some results to drop, and be soft of a leaf, and feed value certifications are comparatively top-ranking. As a result of having analyzed amino acid of the 3rd day of 5th silkworm larva which bred to MK-T2, a collation absorbing an gaeryangppong went, and looked, but compared with a collation in case of tests to eat MK-T2, and looked, and the lie collations were not detected a difference at Leu, but MK-T2 tests were detected mutual almost similar amino acid creation. medical efficacy of the 3rd day of 5th silkworm larva ethanol extract which bred to MK-T2 and black results, histologic a case did not appear at HE dyeing about the kidney organization which extracted form the rats which ate a silkworm ethanol extract and dyeing all chemical organization immunity, and one step protein revelation became lower with almost unidentified levels.
