Oral supplementation of minerals mixture of potassium bromide and nickel sulphate on $CSR_2,\;CSR_4\;and\;CSR_2{\times}CSR_4$ crossbreed races with different concentrations (70, 110 and $160\;{\mu}g/ml$) were fed to the fifth instar larvae. Two of the four normal feeds per day was substituted with treated leaves fed to silkworm at fifth instar larvae. The controls were fed with the leaves sprayed with distilled water and normal leaves. The $CSR_4$ race treated larvae showed a significant increase in silkgland weight, cocooning percentage, female cocoon weight, male cocoon weight, male cocoon shell weight, male cocoon shell ratio, filament length, filament weight, denier, fecundity, number of eggs per ovariole and length of the ovariole when compared with those of the corresponding parameters of the carrier control, whereas in $CSR_2\;and\;CSR_2{\times}CSR_4$ crossbreed races showed a significant increase in larva1 weight and other parameters similar to that of $CSR_4$ race. The results suggested that the silkgland showed good response to minerals mixture of potassium bromide and nickel sulphate only in $CSR_4$ race when compared with those of other two races of the silkworm, B. mori.

비섬유용 소재로 활용될 누에고치의 중금속 함량 및 농약잔류량을 조사하였다. 농가에서 생산하는 누에고치에서 상견비율은 89.1%, 전견중은 2.11 g, 견층중은 0.4670 g으로 나타나 견층비율 22.13%인 것으로 나타났다. 누에고치의 일반 성분을 분석한 결과 조단백질은 93 ~ 94%, 수분은 5 ~ 6%, 조회분은 0.3 ~ 0.4%, 그리고 조지방은 0.4 ~ 0.5%로 나왔다. 누에고치의 중금속 분석 결과 비소, 납, 카드뮴 등은 검출되지 않았으나, 아연이 3.99 mg/kg, 수은은 0.317 mg/kg 포함되어 있었다. 농가에서 사용하는 농약 성분인 디클로르보스와 파라콰트가 검출되지 않아 식품, 화장품, 의료용 소재 등 비섬유용 소재로 활용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

천잠의 사육환경을 구명하기 위하여 사료자원, 기상환경 및 사육방법등에 관하여 조사한 결과를 다음과 같이 요약한다. 1. 천잠의 실내사육에 있어 사육온도는 항온보다 변온이 좋은 편이며, 치잠기 25~26$^{\circ}C$, 장잠기 22~23$^{\circ}C$ 범위가, 사육습도는 치잠기 80~90%, 장잠기 60~70% 범위가 적당한 것으로 나타났다. 2. 천잠사육에 있어 광조기는 유충의 성장에 미치는 영향이 크지 아니하였다. 3. 귀잠시기는 빠른것이 늦은 것보다 유충시기에 단축되는 경향이 있으며 질도 양호한 것으로 나타났다. 4. 사료수종은 상수리나무가 밤나무보다 더 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 야생수보다 재배수가 사육성육이 더 좋았다. 5. 천잠을 옥외사육으로 전환하는 시기는 빠를수럭 작황이 불안정해 지는 경향을 보였다.

To meet the local requirement i.e. the tropical stress of Andhra Pradesh and marginal farmers, twenty four new hybrid combinations were tested in Line x Tester method involving eight newly developed polyvoltine oval lines viz., MSO1, MSO2, MSO3, MSO4, MSO5, MSO6, MSO7 and MSO8 and three bivoltine silkworm breeds viz., APS12, APS45 and APS8 as testers. These hybrids were reared to evaluate their performance. Data for eight economically important metric traits viz., fecundity, cocoon yield per 10,000 larvae by number, cocoon yield per 10,000 larvae by weight, survival rate, cocoon weight, cocoon shell weight, cocoon shell ratio and filament length was recorded. General combining ability (gca), specific combining ability (sca) and heterosis were analyzed. Further, the relative merit of the hybrids for all the traits under study was also assessed adopting Evaluation Index method. Based on combining ability effects, heterosis and evaluation index, five hybrid combinations viz., MSO3 $\times$ APS45, MSO1 $\times$ APS12, MSO7 $\times$ APS8, MSO2 $\times$ APS45 and MSO1 $\times$ APS45 were selected for further evaluation in different seasons.

A new silkworm variety 'Yangwonjam'for both of spring and autumn rearing season is F$_1$hybrid between Jam 143, a Japanese race bred from H5R1/P8503 and Jam 144, a Chinese race from M8312/8190. This is the first both parent sex-limited larval marking variety in Korea, and which contributes to eggs production of F$_1$hybrid silkworm with saving labor. Jam 143, Japanese parent of the 'Yangwonjam'showed high GCA in pupation percentage and Jam 144, Chinese parent showed high GCA in pupation percentage and single cocoon weight. In the local adaptability test performed at 8 local areas in spring of 1998, Yangwonjam records 1% higher in pupation percentage and 5%, 4% lower in single cocoon weight, cocoon yield from 10,000 3rd molted larvae respectively than the check variety Kumokjam. Also in the resistance test against unfavorable rearing condition performed in spring of 1997, Yangwonjam records 9%, 14% lower in single cocoon weight, cocoon shell weight respectively than the check variety, but showed 1% higher in pupation percentage than check variety.

Thyroxine을 5, 10, 15$\mu$g/ml의 수준으로 이화성 누에 NB18 품종의 유충에 도말처리한 결과 유충, 견사선, 고치, 고치층 등의 무게가 증가되고 유충경과 일수는 단축되는 등, 누에의 실용형질이 개선됨을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 전반적으로 10-15$\mu$g/ml의 thyroxine 처리구에서 얻어졌고 5$\mu$g/ml처리구는 대조구와 유의차를 보이지 않았다. 화아율과 부화율은 thyroxine처리의 영향을 받지 않았고 유충경과일수는 단축되었다.

The author is the first man who tried to use an anesthetic on insect specially for silkworm in orde to evaluate the silkworm health and silk yielding ability and the obtained results are as followings. 1. The necessary ether vapor induction for narcosis on silkworms is varied by the glowth of the silkworm which the larger worm is, the longer induction is required. For instance, it was 2∼3 minutes for the worms of third day fifth instar silkworm in case use of ether anesthetic. 2. The longer anesthetic induction for silkworms, the longer recovery needs from anesthesia. In case five minutes ether vapor induction, silkworms recovered narcosis during in 5∼130 minutes which had varied very much by the health variation. 3. The ether induction caused silkworm to vomit digestive juice from a few per cent of the worms, but the chloroform induction showed majority of the worms to vomit the digestive juice out of mouth. So, the ether was found as better anesthetic for silkworms. 4. When ether induction last more than 20∼30 minutes, the recovered silkworms can eat mulberry, but when it gets more than three hours they can not eat mulberry. And when it last more than ten minutes, the silkworm may eat mulberry leaf, but they can not spinn cocoon properly. 5. In case five minutes ether induction for silkworms on third day fifth instar, the stronger variety is, the rallier recovered from narcosis. 6. The recovering duration from narcosis varies regarding with each worm health which shows Poisson′s distribution even in a same variety silkworm. 7. The female worms recover from narcosis earlier than male worms which means the female worm is stronger than male one. 8. The later recovered silkworm from narcosis spinned more rich cocoon silk and ended with smaller pupae weight. Such a tendency showed until at some recovery duration, then the silk yield droped down on the worms recovered in more longer duration. The author (Choe) had named such a relation curve as "Silk Yield Curve against Silkworm Health." 9. The silk yield or cocoon layer ratio had varied from 13 to 27% even in a same worm varity cocoon which showed serious variation and call attention carefulness for the duplication work of a variety silkworm eggs. 10. Not always the rich silk yielding worm is the best worm during the silkworm selection and it should be considered with the silkworm health evaluation. 11. At present situation, only specific breeding expert is allowed to join in the selection service because of need many years experience by use of visual observation, but the ether anesthesia method may help such an evaluation with more accuracy and easy way even for the people in fresh on the field. 12. The effect of the narcosis on the silkworm for the next generation or hybrid worm will be reported in next publication.

In order to analyse the correlation between the parents and their hybrids in the silkworm, which were reared in spring, the author has surveyed the various quantitative characters which are significant in genetics, and the hybrid vigor rate. The duration of larvae life is shorter in F1 Value an in the mid parents value, cocoon size biffer, pupa rate, cocoon crop from ten thousand silkworms just molted in the fourth instar, total cocoon weight and cocoon layer weight increases in comparison with the mid parents value. Although cocoon layer ratio only shows increasing by 0.3％ or so, it is too little to admit the effect. F1 value is nearly equal to parent value and there is no correlation between F1 hybrids value and their mid parents value.

With the objective of selecting suitable breeding resource material, 10 polyvoltine and 10 bivoltine breeds were drawn from the germplasm collection of Central Sericultural Research and Training Institute, Mysore, and evaluated for 3 seasons comprising one year (6 trials). Data were collected on seven traits of economic importance such as fecundity, pupation rate, cocoon yield, cocoon weight, cocoon shell weight, cocoon shell ratio and filament length, and statistically analysed with two-way classification, Joint scoring method and evaluation index. Significant seasonal variations (P < 0.01) were observed in both polyvoltine and bivoltine breeds. Polyvoltines BL27, BL36 and BL54 and bivoltines CSR2, CSR4 and Daizo scored highest ranking values in all the three methods. Hybridization was initiated based on larval markings and cocoon shapes. Seasonal variations were discussed.
