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.

Insight Into

Calorie restriction (CR) is known to extend life span from yeast to mammals. To gain an insight into the effects of CR on growth and development of the silkworm Bombyx mori at protein level, we employed comparative proteomic approach to investigate proteomic differences of hemolymph and fat body of the silkworm larvae subjected to CR. Thirty-nine differentially expressed proteins were identified by MALDI TOF/TOF MS. Among them, 19 were from the hemolymph and 20 from the fat body. The hemolymph of the CR group contained two down-regulated and 17 up-regulated proteins, whereas the fat body contained 15 down-regulated and five up-regulated ones. These proteins belonged to those functioning in immune system, in signal transduction and apoptosis, in regulation of growth and development, and in energy metabolism. Our results suggest that CR can alter the expression of proteins related to the above four aspects, implying that these proteins may regulate life span of the silkworm through CR.
