Abstract:

Rearing of silkworm is highly dependent on environmental variations. To have a healthy cocoon production, it is necessary to have a proper temperature and humidity controlled house for silkworm rearing. Temperature, humidity and fresh air should be managed to get a wonderful silk product. An ideal temperature of 23°C to 28°C and humidity in between 65% to 85% is to be maintained. IoT based silkworm rearing house consists of sensors and actuators, which are interfaced with a low power controllers. The Sericulture unit can be equipped with a wireless sensor node to sense the real time Temperature and Humidity [1], also necessary actuators to control these environmental parameters. The color change in the body of the worms indicates the different stages and the light yellowish indicates that they have reached to the cocoon stage and the morphological changes in silkworm structure can be used to detect abnormal worms[2].The proposed framework introduces an Internet of Things (IoT) empowered Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) system. The received image is first segregated into two classes as diseased or healthy by analyzing the histogram of the background removed image based on thresholding. Again the diseased class will be sub classified into 2 diseases as either Flacherie or Pebrine by applying suitable mask for extracting worm and obtaining the histogram of the worm and analyzing it. The result will be sent to the farmer via E-mail. The proposed system could be a probable solution for productivity in silkworms.

Abstract:

This paper is focused on Sericulture which denotes to the rearing of silkworm to produce silk. Parameter like Temperature, Humidity and light intensity are the important factors in the progression of silkworms and suitable encouraging must be done according requisites in every stage. Sericulture alludes to the raising silkworms to deliver silk; India is the second highest producer of silk in delivering 15% of the aggregates silk creation alongside China. Silk is called the queen of tensile properties. Although there are several commercial species of silkworm monitoring is a greatest challenge for the farmer. Silk worms in every stage, especially during the development of larva. Disinfection is one of the reproving parameters to be considered for healthy and successful silk worm rearing, sericulture is the significant occupation in the country side of India. Hence there exists the need of using innovation in sericulture cultivate .Aim of our project is to protect the silkworms from the proper environmental parameters and making the system automated. Automated sericulture system using IOT is to detect the temperature, Humidity, air quality, rain, etc.., through buzzer and automatically switching on exhaust fan and lights. In this project we use mq2 sensor to detect smoke which produces noise through the buzzer. The temperature, water and humidity sensor are also used to sense the parameters respectively and shows real time updates to the user of the server. The sericulture system use to get affected by the existing methods with more human interventions. Our method is automated which can reduce the work of the people. And this system can be used as the base to many other projects like baby monitoring system, green house monitoring system, mushroom and broccoli monitoring system.

Abstract:

Cutibacterium acnes is a causative agent of inflammatory skin diseases and systemic infections. Systemic infections caused by C. acnes are difficult to treat, and the development of a systemic infection model for C. acnes would be useful for elucidating the mechanisms of infection and searching for therapeutic agents. In this study, we established a silkworm infection model as a new experimental system to evaluate the interaction between C. acnes and the host, and the efficacy of antibacterial drugs. Silkworms infected with C. acnes died when reared at 37 °C. The dose of injected bacterial cells required to kill half of the silkworms (LD50) was determined under rearing conditions at 37 °C. The viable cell number of C. acnes was increased in the hemolymph and fat body of the infected silkworms. Silkworms injected with autoclaved C. acnes cells did not die during the study period. The survival time of silkworms injected with C. acnes was prolonged by the injection of antibacterial drugs such as tetracycline and clindamycin. These findings suggest that the silkworm C. acnes infection model can be used to evaluate host toxicity caused by C. acnes and the in vivo efficacy of antimicrobial drugs.

Abstract:

Spider silk is one of the best natural fibers and has superior mechanical properties. However, the large-scale harvesting of spider silk by rearing spiders is not feasible, due to their territorial and cannibalistic behaviors. The silkworm, Bombyx mori, has been the most well known silk producer for thousands of years and has been considered an ideal bioreactor for producing exogenous proteins, including spider silk. Previous attempts using transposon-mediated transgenic silkworms to produce spider silk could not achieve efficient yields, due to variable promoter activities and endogenous silk fibroin protein expression. Here, we report a massive spider silk production system in B. mori by using transcription activator-like effector nuclease-mediated homology-directed repair to replace the silkworm fibroin heavy chain gene (FibH) with the major ampullate spidroin-1 gene (MaSp1) in the spider Nephila clavipes. We successfully replaced the ∼16-kb endogenous FibH gene with a 1.6-kb MaSp1 gene fused with a 1.1-kb partial FibH sequence and achieved up to 35.2% chimeric MaSp1 protein amounts in transformed cocoon shells. The presence of the MaSp1 peptide significantly changed the mechanical characteristics of the silk fiber, especially the extensibility. Our study provides a native promoter-driven, highly efficient system for expressing the heterologous spider silk gene instead of the transposon-based, random insertion of the spider gene into the silkworm genome. Targeted MaSp1 integration into silkworm silk glands provides a paradigm for the large-scale production of spider silk protein with genetically modified silkworms, and this approach will shed light on developing new biomaterials.

Abstract:

In the current era of highly developed science, technology and technology, the demand for natural fabrics is increasing year by year in the world market, and the world silk industry and science are led to the cultivation of mulberry varieties with high nutritional value and the creation of breeds and hybrids suitable for different seasons of the changing external environment. In recent years, in the Republic of Uzbekistan, the practice of rearing mulberry silkworms several times a year has been used. However, there are no breeds and hybrids suitable for the hot summer conditions of our country, based on this, scientific research has been started in the direction of creating heat-resistant breeds at the Silk Research Institute. In this article, the results of the breeding of 6 breeds and 4 different industrial hybrids of mulberry silkworm under hot conditions are described. Based on preliminary data, Line 1 and Line 2 systems were found to have high embryonic and post-embryonic viability under hot summer conditions. However, the average cocoon weight of these systems was 1.68-1.73 g, cocoon shell weight was 339 mg, and cocoon silkiness was 19.6-20.2%. Based on the obtained results, it was concluded that Line 1 and Line 2 systems can be used as initial selection material for creating heat resistant breeds.

Abstract:

Mulberry (Morus L.) is an economically important tree being cultivated for its leaves to rear the silkworm Bombyx mori. Rearing of silkworm is an art and science popularly known as sericulture; an agrobased cottage industry provides employment to millions in China, India, Korea, Vietnam, etc. Mulberry is a perennial tree that maintains high heterozygosity due to the outbreeding reproductive system. It is recalcitrant to most of the conventional breeding methods, yet considerable improvement has been made in leaf yield and leaf quality. Conventional breeding in mulberry is a tedious, labour intensive and time taking process, which needs to be complemented with modern biotechnological methods to speed up the process. This article enumerates the problems, challenges, constraints and achievements in mulberry breeding along with recent advances in biotechnology and molecular biology to enable mulberry breeders to tackle specific problems more systematically and effectively.

Abstract:

Aim: To develop random ampliﬁed polymorphic DNA (RAPD) -sequence-characterized ampliﬁed region (SCAR) markers for selecting thermo-tolerant line of tropical tasar silkworm. Methodology: In the environmental chamber, Daba BV cocoons of A. mylitta were exposed to high temperature at 46°C/4 hr for 3 days. After the emergence, genomic DNA was extracted from thermo-tolerant moths and thermo-susceptible pupae. The genomic DNA was amplified using 30 RAPD random decamer primers. The improved RAPD fragments that can differentiate thermo-tolerant and susceptible line of A. mylitta were eluted, cloned in pJET1.2 vector and sequenced. SCAR markers were developed based on the sequence and validated in the subsequent generations. Results: Among 30 RAPD primers, OPK04, OPAJ15 and OPA17 generated polymorphic bands to differentiate thermo-tolerant and susceptible line of A. mylitta. These polymorphic bands were eluted, cloned and sequenced. Sequencing of three cloned fragments revealed that clone PB1 comprised of 1412 bp, clone PB2 comprised of 704 bp and clone PB3 comprised of 931 bp. Sequence specific stable multiplex SCAR markers TT-PB1, TT-PB2 and TT-PB3 were designed and synthesized. PCR amplification was performed using DNA templates of 10 thermo-tolerant and 10 thermo-susceptible samples. SCAR marker TT-PB1 was observed to be more specific to thermo-tolerant line of tropical tasar silkworm and validation with 25 samples each in next generation also supported the specificity of TT-PB1. Interpretation: Among three SCAR markers, TT-PB1 showed more specificity for selecting the thermo-tolerant line of A. mylitta. Therefore, the study provides an effective and precise PCR-based molecular marker system for selecting thermo-tolerant lines in tropical tasar silkworm to overcome seed crop loss due to high temperature stress in tasar rearing hotter zones. Key words: Antheraea mylitta, cloning, RAPD, SCAR marker, Thermo-tolerance

Abstract:

Climate change threatens sustainable agriculture with its rapid and unpredictable consequences, making it more challenging for agricultural researchers and farmers to adjust to biotic and abiotic stress challenges. The combined impacts of climate, including temperature, precipitation, humidity, and other factors including soil moisture, atmospheric CO2, and tropospheric ozone (O3), will determine the potential influence of global climate change on plant-pest populations. Variations in sericulture productivity can be caused by either direct consequences of these factors at the plant level or repercussions at the system level, such as variations in insect pest prevalence. In addition to the physiological response of the impacted mulberry plant, silkworm rearing, and post-cocoon technology, as well as variations in the frequency of droughts or floods, all these factors determine how vulnerable raw silk production is to climate change. A number of researchers in the field of sericulture predicted that climate change would have a major impact on the productivity of silk, which has a direct impact on the Indian economy, was predicted by a number of researchers in the field of sericulture. The development of genotypes suited for various agro-climatic situations is essential for ensuring the long-term sustainability of the sericulture sector amid global climatic change and the impending scarcity of land and water. Transgenic revolution, tissue culture, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics in mulberry will generate advanced biotechnological cultivation technologies that will improve sericulture industry’s economy and the quality of life of those engaged in sericulture practices.

Abstract:

As the birthplace of the world’s sericulture and the original center of silkworms, China has a long history of silkworm breeding and widely distributed sericultural areas. After long- term artificial selection and natural elimination, silkworm varieties have been differentiated and multiplied, making China abundant in silkworm germplasm resources. We have summarized the research actualities of Chinese silkworm germplasm resources as follows: at present, there are more than 4,500 silkworm germplasm resources, which are stored in 32 scientific research and teaching institutions in 27 provinces and cities of China. The resources fall into several major categories, under which are local varieties, improved varieties, imported varieties, multivoltine varieties, germplasm innovation materials and basic materials, gene mutation systems, tester strains and near-isogenic lines. By use of various germplasm resources, the People’s Republic of China had bred 204 new silkworm varieties by 2010 since its founding. According to usage, these resources are divided into 103 varieties for spring rearing and spring-autumn rearing, 85 varieties for summer-autumn rearing and 16 varieties for specialpurpose rearing. Some of these varieties were as transient as a fleeting cloud, whereas some others have become classics and made outstanding contributions to the development of China’s sericulture.

Abstract:

The world demand of raw-silk provides a great opportunity to the development of raw-silk production in Yogyakarta. Recently, only 21% of the overall world demand of raw-silk is fulfilled, whereas Indonesia contributes only 0.1% per year. The main problem is the lack of quality of raw-silk. The optimum growth of silkworm depends on micro environments, i.e. temperature, humidity, aeration, and light intensity. The research aimed at designing an automated “on/off” control technology in the silkworm rearing environmental monitoring in the farming system, while the expected result was high-grade quality of cocoon. In the research, two different conditions of silkworm growing environments were compared, i.e. controlled environment (in the rearing box) and uncontrolled environment. The result indicated that there was increase in the quality of cocoon. Test of cocoons in laboratory showed that the average thickness of cocoons in controlled rearing environment and in rearing environment was 0.033 cm and 0.029 cm, respectively. The percentage of cocoons in controlled rearing environment was higher than cocoons in normal environment.

Abstract:

With a view to minimize the consumption of chemical fertilizers, farming community should beable to produce and apply organic manures as part of Integrated Plant Nutrition System for reducing costof production of their produce. Adequate quantity of farmyard manure could not be produced due todwindling population of cattle wealth in recent years. Hence, bio-composting is the best option to utilize on farmwastes effectively for nutrient recycling and soil health improvement. Hence, a study on compostingof sericultural residues by using Trichoderma viride was undertaken at 6 farm holdings in Avathanapatti and7 farm holdings at Kasiripalli / Gollapalli in Krishnagiri district of Tamil Nadu. The objectives were to studymulberry growth parameters by using the compost prepared by mediation of T. viride and its impact onsilkworm rearing. A quantity of 1 kg of inoculum was mixed with one ton of moistened Seri residue. Thedecomposition was completed in 90 days after inoculation. Thus prepared compost was applied to mulberryand observations were made on growth parameters such as plant height, biomass, leaf yield, shoot weightand leaf shoot ratio and silkworm rearing. The results of the present study revealed that application ofcompost prepared by using T. viride resulted in improvement of biomass and leaf yield besides plant heightin the compost treated plots of both the villages when compared to control. The impact on silkworm rearingwas found better with all the rearing parameters like single larval weight, single shell weight, and singlecocoon weight and shell ratio percentage better besides improvement in cocoon yield.

Abstract:

The sericulture industry in India, plays a vital role in the economy, with silk production contributing significantly to the country's textile sector. However, the industry faces challenges due to the detrimental impact of diseases on silk production. To address this issue, this project proposes a comprehensive monitoring system that integrates sensors for temperature, humidity, and light levels, alongside machine learning algorithms for the early detection of common silkworm diseases such as pebrine, flacherie, etc. By ensuring optimal rearing conditions and proactively managing disease outbreaks, the model aims to minimize production losses and enhance silk yield. Given the importance of silk in India's textile industry, increasing yield is crucial for meeting domestic demand, promoting exports, and bolstering economic growth. Through the adoption of advanced technologies and proactive disease management strategies, this project seeks to strengthen the sericulture sector and secure a sustainable future for silk production in India

Abstract:

Cocoon silk, a high priced fabric, should be produced in large quantities to meet local and international demands using sustainable farming practices. To determine the effects of planting systems and agroecosystems manipulations on the mulberry growth, leaf yield, and quality for silk worm rearing, six agroecosystems manipulations using pit planting, organic manuring, inorganic fertilization, green and green leaf manuring were evaluated and the best alternative to increase production was selected. Pit planting method and fertilized with any of the following: (1) 100-5050 kg NPK/ha + 10 tons manure + green manure + mulch (LEISAI); (2) 5050-50 kg NPK/ha + 10 tons manures + green + green leaf manure + mulch (LEISA II); and (3) 10 tons manure + green manure + green leaf manure + mulch (Organic Farming I) gave higher mulberry leaf yields (taller mulberry plants, longer shoots, heavier single leaf weights), higher protein contents, and acceptable range of moisture (high moisture contents for young-age worms and low moisture contents for late-age silkworms). The use of sustainable and organic farming techniques can be a good alternative to conventional farming to improve the productivity of sericulture farms.
