Comparative proteomic analysis between the domesticated silkworm (Bombyx mori) reared on fresh mulberry leaves and on artificial diet.

TL;DR: The results confirmed that the poor nutrient absorption, weakened innate immunity, decreased energy metabolism and reduced silk synthesis are the main reasons for low cocoons yield, inferior filament quality, low survival rate of young larvae and insufficient resistance against specific pathogens in the silkworms fed on artificial diet.

A veterinary approach to the European honey bee (Apis mellifera)

TL;DR: The European honey bee (Apis mellifera) has the unusual status of being an inherently wild species from which a natural foodstuff is derived by manipulating its behaviour to deposit this in man-made wooden frames.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polycalin (chlorophyllid A binding protein): a novel, very large fluorescent lipocalin from the midgut of the domestic silkworm Bombyx mori L.

TL;DR: A protein from the midgut of the silkworm Bombyx mori characterized by its ability to bind the prosthetic group of chlorophyll, that confers fluorescent properties to this protein is studied, identified as a lipocalin with novel features.
Journal ArticleDOI

Red fluorescent protein in the digestive juice of the silkworm larvae fed on host‐plant mulberry leaves

TL;DR: A red fluorescent protein is present in the digestive juice of silkworm larvae when they are raised on fresh mulberry leaves and is an antiviral substance and is absent from insects reared on artificial diet.
Journal ArticleDOI

The profiles of red fluorescent proteins with antinucleopolyhedrovirus activity in races of the silkworm Bombyx mori.

TL;DR: This work may elucidate the process of RFP synthesis in silkworm, which may be used as a biomarker to measure the degree of susceptibility of silkworm races to NPV, and the characteristic band pattern may be use as an indicator to define the relative resistance of a race towards the specific virus.
