New perspectives in sericulture
N
umerous new applications of the mulberry silkworm (
Bombyx mori
L.) and the white mulberry (
Morus alba
L.) significantly
increase the value of sericulture. Due to the bioactive substances contained in the leaves and silk, farmers are increasingly
interested in the production of leaves as herbal rawmaterial and silk cocoons. Additionally, products and by-products obtained from
sericulture may be used in agriculture, medicine and industry. Beyond the commonly known sericulture attributes, silk proteins-
fibroin and sericin-and almost 300 hemolymph are uncommon bioactive. The aim of this lecture is to present fascinating insect and
its host and all possibilities to use them in human life.
