It is reputed for the treatment of numerous neurological disorders related to oxidative stress including stroke. Therefore, we hypothesized that silkworm pupae could attenuate memory impairment and neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease. In the present study, we determined the effect of silkworm pupae on the neurodegeneration … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 16 Aug 2012 · 9,697 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInfection of Ostrinia furnacalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) by Endophytic Beauveria bassiana on CornItji Diana Daud, Elkawakib, Kahar Mustari et al.The Asian corn borer, Ostrinia furnacalis Gueneé (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), is one of the most important pests of corn. Control against this pest is attempted in several ways, including the biological control with entomopathogenic fungi, Beauveria bassiana. Infection of B. bassiana in different larval phases can cause differences in insect response. This study aims to examine the effect of different larva’s … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 5 Mar 2020 · 7,452 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCuticular Chitin of the Wild Silkworm Saturnia Pyri: A Renewable Source for Applications Across Industrial SectorsZarintaj Shukurova, Yusif Shukurlu, Zarbali Khalilov, Madina SharifovaIn the context of a developing sustainable bioeconomy, the search for renewable sources of biopolymers as alternatives to traditional ones is of crucial importance. In this regard, insect cuticular waste represents a promising yet insufficiently explored raw material for obtaining chitin and chitosan. This study aimed to perform a comparative assessment of the extraction efficiency and quality of chitin and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 7 Aug 2026 · 947 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReview on Different Algorithms and Techniques Used in Classification of Gender in SilkwormJyoti Sharma, Pradeep ChoukseySilkworm seed is the key factor for the success of sericulture industry.
