There are different races of Bombyx mori (silkworm) based on their voltinism (number of generations per year) and moulting. Races can be univoltine (1 generation/year), bivoltine (2 generations/year), or multivoltine (more than 2 generations/year). They also differ based on whether their eggs are diapausing (dormant) or non-diapausing. Bivoltine races lay both types of eggs, while univoltine races only lay diapausing eggs and multivoltine only lay non-diapausing eggs. Races also vary in their larval stage duration, cocoon characteristics,
Sericulture is the silk producing agro-industry
India is the second largest silk producing country in the world after china.
Sericulture or silk farming is the rearing of silkworm for the production of silk
Silk is known as queen of textile and biosteel because of its strength
A Chinese tale of the discovery of the silkworm’s silk was by an ancient empress Lei Zu , the wife of the emperor.
She was drinking tea under tree, when a silk cocoon fell into her tea cup and the hot tea loosened the long strand of silk
As she it out, and started to wrap the silk thread around her flinger, she felt the warm sensation
When silk ran out, an larva appeared. She realized that it was this larva that produces the silk
Soon, she taught this to people and it became wide spread

SILK AND SILK CENTRES IN INDIA-converted.pdfIshanRoy23
Silk is a natural protein fiber , some forms of which can be woven into textiles. The protein fiber of silk is composed mainly of fibroin and is produced by certain insect larvae to form cocoons. The best-known silk is obtained from the cocoons of the larvae of the mulberry silkworm reared in captivity (sericulture). The shimmering appearance of silk is due to the triangular prism-like structure of the silk fibre, which allows silk cloth to refract incoming light at different angles, thus producing different colours.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
2. RACES:
A population within a species that is distinct in some way,
especially a subspecies.
Indigenous- originating in and characteristic of a particular
region or country; native.
Eg., Pure Mysore, Nistari.
Exotic- plant or animal species introduced into an area
where they do not occur naturally, non-native species.
Eg., E16, Daizo etc.,
3. Classification of Bombyx mori
Classification based on:
•Distribution
•Moulting
•Voltinism
•Cocoon color
•Rearing period
•Larval markings
4. Voltinism
It is the ability of many insect groups to produce from one
to several generations a year.
•Species producing one generation a year -univoltine
•Species producing two generations -bivoltine
•Species producing several generations -multivoltine
6. Univoltine races:
• produce ONE generation per year.
• larval weight is comparatively higher and
cocoons are heavy.
• Denier of the silk filament is above 2.3.
• not suitable for summer & winter rearings,
since the larvae are weak against
unfavourable conditions.
• They lay only diapausing eggs.
• All European races are univoltines eg.,E16
7. Bivoltine races:
• produce TWO generations per year.
• length of the larval stage is short.
• The leaf consumption to cocoon production
is less, and the quality of the cocoons inferior
to that of Univoltine races.
• cocoon weight, shell weight, silk % &
filament length lesser than uni/mono
voltines.
• Most of the temperate races are bivoltines
• Lay both non hibernating and non
hibernating eggs
• eg.,NB4D2, NB18, KA, NB7 etc
8. Multivoltine races:
• produce more than 5-6 generations per year.
• length of the larval duration is short.
• In most of the polyvoltine races the leaf
cocoon ratio is high
• the length of the filament is short
• cocoon filament is fine and clean with
little lousiness; but with more lustrous.
• the larvae are robust and can tolerate
fluctuating environmental conditions and
hence best suited for tropical climates
• they lay only non diapausing eggs.
• eg.,pure mysore, c.nichi, hosa mysore.
9.
10. How do they differ?
Diapausing eggs
• Also called as “Kuradone eggs”.
• Eggs remain in dormant stage
• It is produced by the 2nd generations of
univoltine silkworms & 3rd generations
of bivoltine silkworms.
• Eggs are dark brown before entering
to diapause stage
• Diapause can be broken by some
treatments such as acid treatment.
Non diapausing eggs
• Also called as “Nomadane eggs”.
• Eggs are not dormant.
• It is produced by the multivoltine
silkworms
• No color change, but turns bluish
black before hatching.
• No treatment required
11. How do they differ?
Bivoltine race
• Eggs may be diapausing or non
diapausing
• Loose egg production is mostly done
• Relatively poor disease resistant
• Cannot tolerate beyond 28⁰C
• Completes lifecycle in _______ days
• Eggs can be preserved upto 6-10
months
• 1500-1700 eggs/ gram
• Shell ratio of 20-25
• Filament length 1000-2600m/ cocoon
Multivoltine race
• Non diapausing eggs are produced
• Flat card sheet method is done
• Relatively disease resistant
• Can tolerate beyond 28⁰C
• Completes the lifecycle in 26-27 days.
• Eggs cant be stored for more than 20
days
• 1800-2100 eggs/gram
• Shell ratio of 12-14
• Filament length 400-500m/ cocoon
12. Moultinism
It is the classification based on number of moultings
throughout the lifecycle.
Silkworms can be classified into:
•tri moulters
•tetra moulters
•penta moulters
•hexa moulters (very rare)
13. Trimoulters:
• They moult three times during larval period.
• The larval growth is limited
• Short larval duration ranging from 15-18 days.
• Pupae & moths are small.
• Cocoon weight is less, cocoon filament is fine & denier of the silk filament ranges
from 1.6 to 1.7.
14. Tetramoulters:
• They moult four times during their larval stage.
• Medium the larval stage ranging from 23-28 days.
• Medium larval growth and cocoon weight.
• Denier is 2-2.5.
• Tetra moulters are cosmopolitan in their distribution.
• Most of the commercial silkworms belong to this group.
15. Pentamoulters:
• They moult five times during their larval stage.
• The length of the larval stage is long
• Larval weight is high and cocoons are heavy, filament length is more.
• Denier of the silk filament is very high.
