Abstract
Silk fibroin filaments are natural proteins produced by silkworm, Bombyx mori, which is bounded by sericin polymers in silk thread used in the cocoon. Fibroin gene expression and antioxidant enzymes were studied in the midgut of Bombyx mori larvae when reared on tropical mulberry plant varieties (Jorhat, TR10, BC2-59, and Hmute). In this study, the B. mori strain FC2 x FC1 showed a high expression of fibroin at both mRNA and protein levels when...
