Significant Increment

The effect of vitamin B and vitamin C on the growth and development of Bombyx mori L. has been studied. Oral supplementation of different concentrations of vitamin B and C to the 3rd, 4th and 5th instar larvae of multivoltine silkworm variety, BSR-95/14(M) resulted significant increase in larval and pupal characters. It was observed that the development of larvae and pupae took place up to a particular dose. There was also a significant increment in the various growth indices following vitamin supplements with the mulberry leaves.Bangladesh J. Zool. 41(2): 199-206, 2013

Changes in tissue-specific NADP-dependent malate dehydrogenase (MDH) activity and protein and cholesterol contents and retardation of growth and development in the mulberry silkworm, Bombyx mori L., induced by infection with a baculovirus, the B. mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV), were investigated. The study revealed that the relative growth rate and development of the fifth-instar larva was significantly inhibited during the progression of nuclear polyhedrosis disease at various times post inoculation (p.i.). Percent pupation and reproductive output were also adversely affected. NADP-dependent MDH activity in the hemolymph peaked sharply at 6 h p.i. and then gradually decreased, reaching a minimum at 264 h p.i., with exceptions at 30 and 72 h p.i. These levels of MDH activity were different from those in non-infected controls. In fat-body tissues, NADP-dependent MDH activity was significantly higher in infected insects than in non-infected controls of the same age. These results indicate that baculovirus infection causes significant changes in intermediary metabolic pathways, causing a significant fall and rise in protein and cholesterol contents in tissues during development of fifth-instar larvae.
