  • The ratio of form and character in the text generation of silkworms which were double copulated between home race copulation and hetero race copulation in crossing with two males of different races for female(double crossing) are different according to the copulating time, copulating order and sperm activities. But the general tendencies are as follows; 1. During two hour's double copulation, sufficiently ejaculating time, the fertilization percentage of hetero lace copulation are higher than that of homo race, but in case of double copulation with plain and normal marked silkworms showed opposite results. The fertilization percentage of homo race copulation are equal or higher compare with that of hetero race copulation. 2. The form and character of the next generation were largely effected by copulating order, so the primary copulating moths are more effected in the next generation than the secondary moths. 3. The active sperms were more fertilized than non-active sperms in the double copulation.

  • A differential specific pattern of variation in the metabolism of protein and cholesterol was noticed in non -diapause and diapause eggs due to the significant differences in embryonic development. The rate of metabolism was different due to specific demands of such metabolites during active embryogenesis and maintenance of diapause respectively. In general, the metabolic rate was found to be accelerated in non- diapause eggs just after egg deposition, while it was very slow in diapause eggs. When the diapause eggs were treated with hydrochloric acid within 16-20 hrs, the rate of turnover was found to very similar to non- diapause eggs, though the base level of protein and cholesterol was recorded to be different.

  • Studies on the interrelationship between biological yield and harvest index, and their association with shoot rearing were carried out in 9 promising mulberry genotypes, which indicated significant variations among genotypes. Biological yield had close association with leaf yield components indicating that they are inter-related for higher productivity in mulberry, Biological yield revealed highly significant positive correlation with important leaf yield components. However height of the longest branch showed negative correlation with biological yield. Genotypes with higher biological yield associated with low ratio of stem weight to leaf weight and high Harvest index on dry weight basis are to be selected for shoot rearing. Biological yield recorded on fresh weight basis had less impact on the present study in comparison to dry weight basis.

  • On the purpose of exploiting cellulose resourse which is needed for artificial diet of silkworms, mulberry branch, eastern cotton wood branch, pitch pine pulp, poplar pulp, chaff, sawdust and rice straw were examined. Among the matters above mentioned. mulberry branch and pitch pine pulp were found to be replaceable as cellulose component in the artificial diet. By means of some chemical treatments, it is found that one of the extracted cellulose powder from mulberry branches is more useful in the larval growth.

  • The aim of this treatise was to find out the factors related to the weight of a have in the original silkworm. The results obtained are as follows: 1. There is no relationship between the degumming rate and cocoon layer rate, but there is related with the weight of cocoon only in chinese strain. 2. There is no difference among the strains, but considerably differente in degumming rate among the species. 3. The degumming rate of female is higher than that of male.

  • Mulberry being the only food of silkworm, Bombyx mori L., is of great economic importance to the silk industry, The success in cocoon production mainly depends on the supply of quality leaves in sufficient quantity. In mulberry, where the economic product is leaf, the uptake of nitrogen from soil is very heavy and high responses to application of nutrients have been reported. Nitrogen supports vegetative growth particularly the leaf biomass. Variation in nitrogen harvest index and other physiological and yield contributing traits were estimated in five mulberry genotypes. Considerable variation was observed for nitrogen harvest index, protein yield per plant and harvest index. The correlation studies indicated the protein yield per plant was significantly correlated with leaf yield, nitrogen content in leaf, nitrogen harvest index and harvest index. The broad sense heritability estimates revealed that harvest index showed highest heritability (88.07%) followed by nitrogen content (82.52%), protein yield (70.28%) and nitrogen harvest index (66.52%).

  • Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) plays an important role in the development of bone and cartilage. It is involved in the hedgehog pathway, TGF beta signaling pathway, and in cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction. It is involved also in cardiac cell differentiation and epithelial to mesenchymal transition. In this study, We expressed human BMP2 (hBMP2) recombinant protein using Baculovirus Expression Vector System (BEVS) in Sf9 insect cells. The hBMP2 cDNA was cloned into baculovirus transfer vector, pBacgus-4x-1 and recombinant baculovirus was screened out through X-gal and GUS-fusions assay. Western blot analysis shown that molecular weight of hBMP2 recombinant protein was about 44.71 kDa.
