Abstract

Phytoecdysteroids affect the total amino acid content in the silkgland of fifth instar larvae of Bombyx mori at the initial stage (P2 < 0.05) and final stage of spinning. The amino acid content increased with increase in phytoecdysteroid concentration and number of larval treatment but with triple treatment of 70% concentration the amino acid content was decreased.The phytoecdysteroids may prove to be a boon for increased silk production.
