Abstract:

The topical application of phytojuvenoid on Bombyx mori larvae has been proved to be of biotechnological significance in the sericulture industry. Variation in the phytojuvenoid concentration significantly (P1<0.01) influenced the total protein level in the fat body of larvae at the initial stage of spinning. The maximum level of total protein content was recorded in case of 30% phytojuvenoid concentration at triple treated(IIIth - IVth) larvae while it was lowest in 40% phytojuvenoid concentration at triple treated larvae at the initial stage of spinning.

Keywords:

Phytojuvenoid, Protein content, Fat body, Larvae, Bombyx mori.
