...e economic losses to the sericulture. The fat body is an important intermediate metabolic tissue, which is involved in detoxification in insects. In this study, high-throughput transcriptome sequencing was performed to investigate the gene expression differences between two silkworm strains with different susceptibility after exposure to fenvalerate. The results showed that a total of 2363 differentially expressed genes were detected in the Lan5 DGE library an...

Progress of Sericulture Research and Development in Pakistan

M. Iqbal Ahmad

...>Intro:

Although sericulture as a cottage industry has a long history in Pakistan, it has not made any real progress until recently. The main impediment was lack of technical manpower for research in quality egg production, mulberry cultivation, silkworm rearing, silk yarn technology, and cocoon and silk marketing. Other factors also played an important part in this regard. These include import policy for silk seed and raw silk and price fluctu...
