Molecular Characterization of the Functional Genes Associated with Silk Assembly, Transport, and Protection in the Silk Glands of Popular Multivoltine Breeds of Silkworm Bombyx mori. L.

Abstract excerpt

Bombyx mori is an agriculturally important insect used extensively for silk production. India, especially the eastern regions, is mostly dependent on the multivoltine breeds of silkworm Bombyx mori and their hybrids/crossbreeds. The multivoltine breeds are indigenous and superior in survival and hardiness but are relatively inferior in terms of qualitative traits, typically the silk quality. Therefore, it is...
