Changes of Super Oxide Dismutase Activity in Hemolymph, Hemocytes and Fat Body of Silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) Challenged by Micrococcus luteus and Escherichia coli
Abstract: The hemolymph, hemocytes and fat body of the silkworm, Bombyx mori L. were determined for superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity following bacteria Micrococcus luteus and Escherichia coli challenged using a photochemical assay system consisting of methionine, riboflavin, and p-nitro blue tetrazolium. The in vitro reduction of nitro blue tetrazolium by superoxide to formazan was measured spectrophotometrically in Bombyx Mori. Hemolymph, hemocytes and fat body were in response to various immune elicitors. …

Silkworm Growth and Silk Yield under Changing Climatic Conditions: Challenges and Adaptations
Abstract: Climate change is emerging as a critical factor affecting agriculture and sericulture industries worldwide. Rising global temperatures, shifting rainfall patterns, and the growing frequency of extreme weather events present ever challenges to the growth and productivity of silkworms (Bombyx mori L.). Silkworms are extremely sensitive to environmental conditions like temperature, humidity, and photoperiod, all altered by climate change. Higher temperatures can accelerate silkworm metabolism, reduce silk yield, and increase susceptibility …

Comparative Aphrodisiac Activity of Formulated Tablet of Bombax Ceiba Linn. Extract with Sildenafil Citrate Tablet in Male Mice
Abstract: The present work deals with pharmacological studies of formulated tablet of Bombax ceiba Linn root extract comparing with marketed one. An aphrodisiac activity by mating behavior test model was investigated. The dissolved tablet slurry (400 mg/kg body wt./day) was administered orally by gavages for 28 days. Mount latency (ML), intromission latency (IL), ejaculation latency (EL), mounting frequency (MF), intromission frequency (IF), ejaculation frequency (EF) and post-ejaculatory interval (PEI) are the …

Olfactory Intelligence in Bio-Hybrid UAVs: Integrating Living Lepidoptera Sensors for High-Precision Environmental Monitoring
Abstract: Autonomous aerial systems still face major challenges when attempting to locate airborne volatile organic compounds because many conventional gas sensors react slowly and cannot reliably follow turbulent chemical plumes. To address this limitation, a bio-hybrid sensing approach was explored using the antenna of the silkworm moth, Bombyx mori, as a natural chemical detector. The antenna was connected to an Electroantennogram (EAG) system that converts biological nerve signals into digital signals …

Types of Fungi Species Attacking Mulberry, Symptoms, and Their Interaction
Abstract: Mulberry trees (Morus spp.) are essential in sericulture since their leaves are the primary source of nutrition for silkworms (Bombyx mori L.). The cultivation of mulberry trees has long been integral to the silk industry, particularly in countries like China, India, and Japan. However, like all agricultural crops, mulberry trees are vulnerable to a variety of pests and pathogens including fungi. Fungal diseases can have a profound impact on mulberry …

Thorium the Fuel of the Future to Revitalize Nuclear Power Generation
Abstract: After disasters like Kyshtym, Windscale, Fukushima, Chernobyl etc., nuclear energy carried a dreaded stigma. The cost of nuclear power generation in the conventional way is on the rise, and so there is a resurgence in nuclear technology using thorium as fuel. There is a great pressure from international community to reduce carbon emission. So many countries are looking for a path to generate energy that is distinctly different but pays …

High-Performance Biodegradable Films from Bamboo Derived Cellulose Nanofibers and Silk Fibroin: Engineering Sustainable Polymer Composites
Abstract: This research presents the advancement of biodegradable composite films from cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) extracted from bamboo and silk fibroin (SF) derived from Bombyx mori cocoons. CNF/SF composites were fabricated in three different compositions—CS10, CS30, and CS50—via aqueous blending and solution casting, followed by ethanol-induced β-sheet stabilization. Mechanical testing confirmed a considerable enhancement in tensile strength from 72 MPa (CS10) to 112 MPa (CS50), while Young’s modulus improved from 2.4 GPa …
