Abstract

Four mulberry silkworm races viz., Pure Mysore, Nistari, NB4D2 & CSR2 and two hybrid (Pure Mysore× CSR2 and Nistari× NB4D2) silkworms were selected for the present study. The specific activity of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) in the haemolymph as well as midgut tissue was estimated. The results of quantitative analysis were subjected for regression analysis against selected commercial characters viz., fecundity, larval weight, larval duration, single cocoon weight, single shell weight, shell ratio, filament length, denier and renditta, to know the correlation coefficient between them. The results of statistical analysis clearly showed that haemolymph and midgut SDH activity level has positive correlation with selected commercial characters except renditta. The qualitative analysis of SDH was carried out by Native-PAGE. The zymograms of succinate dehydrogenase also exhibited variation among the selected silkworm varieties.
