Abstract: Pure parental three lines of Iran silkworm has been individual recording and forty best male and female individual selected in each of these parental three lines. Then these lines has fed according conditions of lines increasing system of Line lines, parent-parent and silkworm mother and during three successive generations, silkworm egg each of three lines 32, 104 and 110 generated without performance of new selection. For each of line formed two groups (random parents group and selective parents group) in each of line compared each other performance of two groups and analyzed obtained result of individual selection system of parental lines on the performance of these lines. In this project used of present on records in Iran silkworm research center that are relative to actions and performances of this system and had taken 2000-2003 during successive for years. In this study, tools of record and data collection were standard form of economical characters recording in the silkworm and Excel software and for statistical analysis is used method of Generalized Lined Models (GLM), SAS software edition 6.12. Studied characteristics were generation characteristics, pupae characteristics, larval duration and cocoon weight. Pupae vitality percentage (middle cocoon) in three lines 32, 104 and 110 was for selective groups 85.091, 91.001, 88.012% and for random groups 91.258, 82.450, 88.107%, respectively. Produced in cocoon number in three lines 32, 104 and 110 was for selective groups 213.63, 263.42, 282.42 and for random groups 247.96, 240.46, 243.91, respectively.

INTRODUCTION

The aim of silkworm breed improvement is genius development of characters for increase of silkworm feeders advantage and other parts of Seri-cultural industry consequently. In sericulture is important numerous characters and importance of these characters in different parts of this industry is different (Singh et al., 1998).

Germplasm of wild silkworm has more changed unwished via selection during successive generations and in the way of become domestic because of changes, germplasm has achieved to present variety in modern species for purposes of existing characters. At present for silkworm has recorded more than four hundred and fifty morphological, physiological and biochemical specification that in the middle of those has specified the place of three hundred specifications on the 27 goups of chromosomes (Cristina et al., 2007).

Now a days simple methods for silkworm breed improvement are common in the world with high sericulture potential areas. Now in Iran silkworm research center placed in Rasht has equipped to genius bank that can say, this is incomparable in region level and few part of genius existing resources in the world level that act in the field of silkworm breed improvement (Seidavi and Bizhannia, 2008).

Govindan et al. (1991) and Seidavi et al. (2004) reported that both cocoon weight characters and cocoon shell weight are effective increasing energy and overcome and genius variance of increase is more than overcome variance. Heritability of cocoon weight characters has reported between 0.03-0.49%, cocoon shell weight between 0.14-0.60% and cocoon shell percentage between 0.15-0.9%. More researcher among them Satenahalli et al. (1990), Singh et al. (1998) and Seidavi et al. (2004) emphasized correlation assessment and heritability of silkworm economical characters to increase selection efficiency and do best silkworm egg produce system and fresh cocoon. At the present in all of line lines of silkworm line increasing and protection centers take particular care to above characters and accomplish based on them choice of line groups and parents. There is a contradictory report positive to negative phenotype correlation between cocoon characters with laying eggs specifications and to resist diseases in different breeds of silkworm (Datta et al., 2001; Seidavi et al., 2004). Therefore, affect of parents selection on the basis of cocoon weight on generation specifications and offspring resistance of these lines must study separately in any country and with attention to administrable system and regional conditions of the same place and for lines of same countries as much as on the basis of that take decision proportionate to system conditions (Seidavi et al., 2004). Rangaiah et al. (1995), Bhargava et al. (1995) and Jayaswal et al. (2000) also reported heritability of cocoon weight and cocoon shell weight.

Breeding system of Iran silkworm parental lines is based on using standard conditions of breeding and then visual selection of persons based on external phenotype. In this system don’t accomplish no recording and selection based on record whatsoever. It is expectation that recording of pure parental lines and selection of best individuals based on highest individual records. Cause to increase offspring function of future generations and produce mixed of them. Therefore, the aim of this research was study possibility of silkworm lines production increasing with the choice of best individual as paternal lines.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

This research was accomplished on basis of collected data of Iran Silkworm Research Center (ISRC). Tools of record and collection data was standard forms of silkworm economical recording and Excel software and to statistical analysis used method of Generalized Lined Model (GLM), SAS software edition 6.12. Data recording in Excel extra sheet software, analyzed with SAS software is used t-student test and completely random project and is used Duncan test for comparison of average. In this research, Iran silkworm three pure parental lines became individual recording and in any of parental three lines was selected forty best male and female individual. Then these lines has bred according to conditions of lines increasing system of line lines, parents-parents and silkworm mother and during three successive generations was produced silkworm egg in any of three line 32, 104 and 110. Any of these silkworm eggs has produced and bred in two groups (selective parental lines and random parental lines). Function of these two kinds of lines has compared to each other and result of individual selection system of parental lines analyzed on the function of these lines. Data of this project of existing records was provided in country (Iran) silkworm research center that is related to acts of this system and has collected during four successive years 2000-2003.

Being significant the effect of confluence kind, variety, genus, month, generation and repetition for individual characteristics (cocoon weight, cocoon shell weight and cocoon shell percentage) and also variety effect for family characteristics (best cocoon percentage, cocoon number and larval duration) is indicate varieties function imitation of genotype specification and being of phenotype variation produced of different confluences of these varieties (Chattopadhyay et al., 1994; Shon and Ramires, 1999).

Pashaki (2010) has reported the difference of heritability between 32, 104 and 110 lines. Also Esfandarani et al. (2000) showed the records about heritability difference among of breeds. Seidavi (2010) reported low and positive correlation percentage of cocoon weight and cocoon shell percentage in 104 and 110 lines and negative for 32 line. In other research report negative genius correlation of cocoon weight and cocoon shell percentage (Ghanipoor et al., 2006).

The most importance and the first process in project of reformative program is definition and determination of aim selection. This process takes into consideration in often plans of breed improvement but is necessary to do a long-term selection program. In fact, the aims of breed improvement define the exposed direction for genius change in flock and exactly must be on basis of economical facts of breeding system. Determination of breed improvement aim is trying to response to this question that where will we go in this breed improvement plan? (Ponzoni, 1993).

When selection aims select that income, maximize in exchange for each head of domesticated animal. In fact, any of important economical characteristic has economical coefficient. Economical coefficient is relative because this is concern of price. Another aim minimizes the cost in exchange for every production unit. The aims of improvement can determine in this case are characteristics that farmers wants improve them and will emphasize by farmers to those of characters. For example farmers wants increase wool weight. He considers this as a prior aim himself then decreases fiber diagonal and increases this as a second aim and as a third aim of domesticated animal weight (Simm, 1998).

In aim of selection, we consider the characteristics so that include under following specification: the character is heritabilatable, characteristics is definable, this definable can be via measurement or via looking and coding and characteristics may have economical value. In order to determination of selection aim in necessary to specify a breed have highest competence either in characteristic or compound rate of characteristics and then with attention to that characteristic or characteristics determined suitable reformative strategic. Also must exist variety in this characteristic and or compound of characteristics. As long as can achieved to development in this characteristic. On the other hands is necessary that can exist differences between animals for every characteristics and is necessary to be inheritance at least part of these differences (Simm, 1998).

Most importance function of heritability in genius studies is its anticipation function that is confidence rate of phenotype individuals value and individuals characteristics to achieved breeding value. When on the one hands phenotype individuals value is solely measurable directly and on the other hand breeding value is also only factors that can determine the effect of phenotype individual value in future generation. There for, if reformer have an intention to select basis individuals only on the basis of phenotype value, his success is forecast only when that is obvious rate of conformity between phenotype and breeding value namely heritability (Falconer, 1990; Zade and Moghadam, 1997).

Correctness of selection is as a criterion of relation intensity between actual reformative values and their anticipated amount and depends on numerous factors such as heritability of characteristic and assessment method. Kind of assessment depending on that is used itself individual records or in addition to itself individual records is used also relative record, effect on assessment correctness (Shoja and Pirani, 2003; Pashmi, 2009). Being of error in genius parameters estimate and phenotype and difference between actual genius and phenotype parameters of society with estimated amounts effect on genius development. In this case, genius produced development is less expected amount (Kashan, 2000).

If selection intensity is high, it means that we select only best individuals on the basis of selection criterion. If selection criterion is correct criterion, selective individuals will be more better than average for purposes of genius as a parents of future generation. In this case is quick speed of genius development. On the other hands, if selection intensity is few, selective individuals wont be more better than average of society for purposes of genius and is slow speed of genius development, consequently (Shoja and Pirani, 2003; Pashmi, 2009). Selection difference is another explanation of selection intensity, it means that as ever selection difference is more, selection intensity is fewer (Shoja and Pirani, 2003).

Seidavi (2010) in estimate of genius parameters of silkworm commercial pure lines estimated the heritability 0.496, 0.499 and 313 for cocoon weight characteristics, cocoon shell weight and cocoon shell percentage, respectively. This reality is explainable simply that why cocoon shell weight is part of cocoon weight. In this research, estimated genius correlation of two characteristics was 0.831. In research of Ghanipoor et al. (2006) was estimated heritability 0.400-0.468, 0.292-0.503 and 0.172-0.295 for cocoon weight characteristics, cocoon shell weight and cocoon shell percentage, respectively.

Ghanipoor et al. (2006) in study about Japanese silkworm three lines obtained genius increasing correlation for cocoon weight characteristics between 0.919-0.921, cocoon shell weight and cocoon shell percentage 0.699-0.830 and for cocoon weight characteristics and cocoon shell percentage 0.119-0.208. Also in this research, environmental correlation estimated between above characteristics 0.487-0.676, 0.375-0.517 and 0.119-0.208, respectively. Also obtained phenotype correlation in these characteristics 0.729-0.753, 0.592-0.610 and 0.067-0.205.

CONCLUSION

In this research have been studied various characteristics in three variety and based on this research was shown that selection caused to create response to selection that this response to selection was positive. Response to selection was different about various characteristics and some of characteristics is more significant and other some is fewer but totally response to selection has been positive and satisfactory. In 32 lines characteristics such as pupae vitality percentage in middle cocoon, produced cocoons number, best cocoons number, double cocoons number, best cocoons percentage, middle cocoons percentage, double cocoons percentage, total best cocoon weight, single best cocoon weight, hatched larvae number, un-hatched egg number, total produced eggs number were more significant than another characteristics. In 104 line characteristics of pupae vitality percentage in middle cocoon and double cocoons weight were more significant. Also in 110 line characteristics of produced cocoons number, total best cocoon weight, larval duration, hatched larvae number, un-hatched larvae number, hatched eggs percentage, un-fertilized eggs percentage and total produced eggs number were more significant and higher heritability than other characteristics.
