Overview

This review examines how nutritional quality of mulberry leaves and stressors affect silkworm physiology, indicating potential strategies for improving silk yield.

Key Points

  • Silk production is influenced by the nutritional quality of mulberry leaves, particularly their composition of proteins, amino acids, and sugars.
  • Stressors like temperature, humidity, and pathogens affect nutrient absorption and metabolic signaling in silkworms, impairing silk quality.
  • Digestive efficiency and microbial interactions play a critical role in silk protein synthesis, influencing cocoon traits and yields.
  • Integrated strategies are needed to manage nutrition and stress, combining breeding, biotechnology, and farm practices for better silk production.
