[Bombyx mori and Antheraea mylitta]
Cloning, expression and characterization of yolk
protein receptors from Indian silkworms.
Studies on differential gene expression profiling
of Bombyx mori Nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV)
resistant and susceptible Bombyx mori silkworm
strains.

nuclear polyhedrosis virus resistance transgenic
silk moth
Identification, isolation and molecular
characterization of major pathogens associated
with flacherie disease in Bombyx mori.
Molecular characterization of the flacherie
causing virus in Bombyx mori with specific
reference to RdRp (RNA Dependent RNA
polymerase) gene and the regulatory elements
in the viral genome

2. Isolation, expression and characterization of drought resistance genes in
mulberry (Morus spp.)
3. Identification of DNA markers associated with Bacterial leaf spot resistance
in mulberry (Morus spp.)
4. Genome analysis for identification of EST markers linked to the economic
traits and their differential level of gene expression in the indigenous
silkworm breeds of Bombyx mori.
5. Development of transgenic mulberry plants expressing the BmNPV
antiviral proteins
6. Application of association mapping strategies for whole genome scan of
mulberry (Morus spp.) for genetic improvement
