In this article, the current state of silkworm breeding in Uzbekistan is highlighted by the fact that cocoons, raw silk and silk products grown are not competitive enough. About the role of selection in increasing the volume of cocoon cultivation and improving its quality. This includes ways to influence the genetic characteristics of newly created breeds and their hybrids, which contribute to the improvement of cocoon productivity and technological performance. The importance of population-specific laws, as well as the methodology of experiments, the degree of interdependence of selection traits, experiments in two groups of silkworm breeds and systems, in three gradations, and the results obtained on them. Prospects for the application of experimental results in science and practice are also discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
