ABSTRACT Nat. Env. & Poll. Tech. Website: www.neptjournal.com The wild tropical tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta polyphagous sericigenous lepidopteran insect, producing tasar silk of commercial importance is distributed in various parts of India as ecoraces, with Received: 21-03-2018 variations in phenotypic traits like fecundity, voltinism, cocoon weight, silk ratio, etc. In spite of their Accepted: 11-06-2018 superior quality silk, they encounter problems like their gradual decrease in number and identification. Key Words: These populations are very difficult to separate based on morphological traits. The assessment of Antheraea mylitta ecoraces genetic structure of each population is considered as prerequisite for understanding and preserving Tasar silkworm natural biodiversity. Hence in the present investigation, genomic DNA of distinct populations of A. Biodiversity mylitta was extracted and screened for polymorphism by using EST-derived SSR markers. The DNA EST-SSR marker profiles based on these markers suggest that they could be effectively utilised for identifying the Single nucleotide polymorphism genetic variability among tasar ecoraces. The alignment of sequences obtained from genomic PCR products has identified potential EST-SSR marker to recognise single nucleotide polymorphism by comparing various tasar ecoraces.

    Genetic Characterisation of Microsporidia Infecting Indian Tasar Silkworm, Antheraea Mylitta, Using Morphology and Molecular Tools

    © Institute of Parasitology, Biology Centre ASCR Folia Parasitologica 2015, 62: 034 doi: 10.14411/fp.2015.034 http://folia.paru.cas.cz Research Article Genetic characterisation of microsporidia infecting Indian tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta, using morphology and molecular tools Wazid Hassan and B. Surendra Nath Molecular Pathology Division, Seribiotech Research Laboratory, Central Silk Board Campus, Kodathi, Bangalore, Karnataka, India Abstract: The utility of inter simple sequence repeat-PCR (ISSR-PCR) assay in the genetic characterisation and elucidation of the phy- logenetic relationship of different microsporidian isolates infecting tropical tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta Drury, is demonstrated. A total of 22 different microsporidians collected from the diseased tasar silkworms from Jharkhand state of India were analysed using morphological characters and ISSR-PCR. Observations spores under phase contrast microscope revealed oval to elongate in shape with length ranging from 3.8 μm to 5.1 μm and width from 2.6 μm to 3.3 μm. All the microsporidian isolates except MIJ-1gC showed gonadal infection and transovarial transmission in infected tasar silkworms. Fourteen out of 20 ISSR primers tested generated repro- ducible profiles and yielded a total of 281 fragments, of which 273 were polymorphic (97%). The degree of banding pattern was used to evaluate genetic distances and for phylogenetic analysis. The results demonstrated that ISSR analysis may be a useful and efficient tool for taxonomical grouping and phylogenetic classification of different microsporidians in general.
