Assam apart other Northeast states of India have adapted this
technique of muga silkworm cultivation but with margin productivity of this
golden fibre due to degrading eco system for its breeding, recent
decode of its genome through research on transcriptomic study has open hope to
help it survive under the challenging condition of current environment.
It is in effort with Central Silk Board (CSB) by Bioengineering
Research Laboratory (BERL) division of IIT-Guwahati were able to fetch out this
transcriptome-genetic blueprints from muga worm’s DNA content in its protein
sector.
Detection of components in gene product of muga worm’s protein content
is vital as it plays as shield guard against disease attack, ensuring its
immune function.
Transcriptomes study reveals how messenger RNA molecules in the cell
of muga silk worm’s tissue indicate its gene action to help build immunity
function, depending on present regional ecosystem’s impact.
According to Utpal Bora of Guwahati IIT Design head on futuristic
growth of unique golden fibre production revealed that preservation and
development of healthy muga silk worm is possible through further research with
the aid of advanced technologies like genome engineering and genome editing.
