CORRELATION BETWEEN BIOMOLECULES AND COMMERCIAL CHARACTERS OF SILKWORM BOMBYX MORI L. - A REVIEW Authors: Thejaswini PH And Mahesha HB*
ABSTRACT
Mulberry silkworm Bombyx mori L. is playing an important role in the economic life
of man since time immemorial. Though the conventional breeding techniques yielded several
improved silkworm breeds, have to overcome some limitations. Recent advances in genetics
and molecular biology have offered a number of alternative strategies to overcome the above
limitations. Recent advances in plant and animal breeding have highlighted the prospects of
using linked molecular markers for improvement of desirable traits. Therefore, identification
of suitable markers, holds the key to successful implementation of marker assisted selection.
