10 Identification of<br />

causal organism of<br />

bacterial diseases of<br />

muga silkworm<br />

11 Identification of<br />

drought resistance<br />

genotypes<br />

12<br />

Identification of root<br />

rot tolerant<br />

mulberry varieties<br />

13 Application of silver<br />

nano particles<br />

synthesised using<br />

sericin for imparting<br />

durable<br />

antimicrobial<br />

properties to silk<br />

textiles<br />

14 Application of solar<br />

heating system in<br />

multiend reeling unit<br />

Three bacteria viz., Bacillus thuringiensis, Aromonas<br />

salmonicida and Streptococcus bombycis were<br />

identified<br />

Identified the physiological parameters for drought<br />

resistance and it can be utilized as selection<br />

parameters for screening the germplasm/progeny<br />

for evolving drought resistance genotypes<br />

Based on biochemical indicators identified 5<br />

tolerant and 5 susceptible mulberry genotypes for<br />

developing root rot resistance varieties.<br />

Synthesized silver nano particles of 10 to15 nano<br />

meters applied on silk substrate and results are<br />

encouraging. The project was done to understand<br />

the application of nano particles on silk textiles.<br />

Populalization of technology is under progress.<br />

Some of the reelers installed solar water heating<br />

system in Multiend reeling units.<br />
