The Studies on Hydrolysis of the Silk Fibroin by Proteolytic Enzyme, Bombyx mori III. Variations of the Fibroin Hydrolysis by Different Silkworm Varieties

견 Fibroin의 효소분해에 관한 연구 (III) -가잠의 원종 및 교잡종견사의 Fibroin 분해율 차이-

The study was carried out to investigate the variations in the fibroin hydrolysis of leading silkworm varieties in Korea, and the relationship between the fibroin hydrolysis of the silkworm varieties with some characteristics and silk morphological property. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1) The fibroin hydrolyzing ratio of both parent silkworm cocoons was reduced in the F$_1$hybrids. 2) A positive corelation (r=＋0.86) was approved between the mid-parent value and the F$_1$hybrid in the fibroin hydrolysis. 3) It was disclosed that the fibroin hydrolyzing ratio of Jam 103${\times}$Jam 104 was the lowest among the leading silkworm F$_1$hybrids. 4) The fibroin hydrolysis was affected by the silk morphological property, showing a positive corelation between the size of cocoon filament and the fibroin hydrolyzing ratio. 5) It was thought that the determination of the fibroin hydrolyzing ratio was useful as a marker for the selection of its related economical characters in silkworm breeding, because the fibroin hydrolysis of parents silkworm cocoons was heritable in their F$_1$hybrids.

우리나라 장려잠품종의 원종과 교잡종견의 fibroin분해율 및 각종 특수품종견에 대한 fibroin 분해율과 견사형태와의 관계를 구명코저 시험하여 다음 결과를 얻었다. 1. 원종과 교잡종독의 fbroin 효소분해에 있어서 원종은 F$_1$교잡종에 비하여 분해율이 높았다. 2. 양 원종의 평균 fbroin 분해율은 그 교잡종의 분해율과 정상관(r=＋0,86)이 있었고 그 회귀방정식은 y=0.81x＋0.04이다. 3. 교잡종견사 fibroin의 분해율에 있어서 잠103$\times$잠104가 다른 장훈품종에 비하여 분해율이 낮았다. 4. 각종 특수품종 견사의 fibroin 분해에 있어서 품종간에 분해율차리가 인정되었고 견사섬도와 fibroin 분해율과는 낮은 정상관(r=0.6)이 있었다. 5. 이상의 결과에서 견 fibroin 분해율은 유전적 성질을 가지므로 잠품종육종에 있어서 이와 관련된 실용형질 선발에 marker로서 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
