DNA Based Quick Response (QR) Code for Screening of Potential Parents for Evolving New Silkworm Races of High Productivity

India has a race privilege of having all varieties of natural Skills in the world. In such a demand, evolving new silkworm breeds specific to Resistance, Fecundity, Thermo tolerance and Silk productivity are always on demand. The conventional methods of silkworm breed Development is obsolete and the gene based scientific strategies are always on demand in screening potential parents for the cause of evolving new, sustainable and promising breeds. Genetic similarities of silkworm though collected from different research centres and Silkworm Germplasm bank cause a major concerns for this process. In view of this, molecular diversity is considered using DNA Barcoding through Co-I gene sequencing, DNA based QR code development and phylogenetic analysis. For this study Twenty nine silkworm races were analyzed. While DNA Barcoding is an effective molecular tool for Silkworm races and parental breeds identification, notwithstanding the advantages in DNA Barcdoing, more specific DNA based QR codes are developed for the genetic identification and screening of silkworm races and parental breeds for the genetic improvement and promising breed development of silkworms.
