RACIAL DIFFERENTIATION OF a- AND B-ESTERASE ISOZYMES IN SELECTED RACES OF SILKWORM Bombyx mori L.

Umakanth, R.S. | Krishnamurthy, N.B.
Isozymes of a- and ẞ-esterases were analyzed in four selected races of univoltine (B38P), bivoltine (NB₁, and SF19) and multivoltine (C. nichi) by employing polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic technique (PAGE). Racial differences as a reflection of ontogenic differentiation of the multi-banded system in the races under study were identified, although the trend of differential activity of the esterase(s) follows a specific pattern in all the races. Certain differences are also known between a- and ẞ-esterases where ẞ-esterase is more prominent and exhibits higher activity.
