Eight quantitative traits viz., total food ingestion (Tl), Total food digestion (TD), cocoon weight, shell weight, efficiency of conversion of ingested food into cocoon (ECIC) & shell (ECIS), efficiency of conversion of digested food into cocoon (ECDC) & shell (ECDS) were measured. Rearing was carried out at 24±1°C ...

The mean high humidity of 94% with the prevailing temperature of 23°C increased the larval weight by 11% each, cocoon weight by 20 and 13%, shell weight by 17 and 10%, fecundity by 8 and 11% and decreased larval mortality by 60 and 14% and pupal mortality by 16 and 62% for C-102 and J-101 respectively. The mean high temperature of 30°C with the prevailing humidity of 58% decreased the larval weight ...

...ns of silkworm Bombyx mori L., i.e. J-101, 206MKD, C-102 and 207-PO were evaluated for their resistance to microbial diseases. For each strain 225 larvae of 4th instar were separated from mass rearing lot and divided into three replications. The rearing of silkworm was carried out at 25 ± 2°C and 70 ± 5% rH. The results revealed that bacterial flacherie caused overall 20.52, 18.5, 16.82 and 5.53 percent mortality in C-102, J-101, 206-MKD ...

In the present age because of synthetic products some of the medicinal plants have lost their old value but still a considerable number of drugs mentioned in the formularies are manufactured from plants. A casual look on the national formulary booklet confirms this statement.

Recent survey carried out by the Medicinal Plant Branch, Pakistan Forest Institute Peshawar has revealed that large quantities of this drug can be collected easily from the above mentioned areas. The seeds are a good source of an essential oil, which constitutes about 22 per cent of the total weight. Pharmacognostic studies were carried out on Adhatoda vasica plants in order to identify, evaluate the distinguishing ...

Only a single substitution (T→A) was found in non-coding region of IL-2 gene. Comparison of IL-2 gene sequence of all four breeds with other goat breeds showed high similarity in sequence. Phylogenetic analysis of our local breeds with other mammals showed that IL-2 was highly v...
