Technology Transfer at CSB-ISBR

Translating cutting-edge sericulture research into field-ready technologies that benefit farmers, industry partners, and the broader silk value chain.

Molecular Diagnostics Diagnostics & Quality

Molecular Diagnostics & Quality Assurance

  • DNA barcoding protocols for authentic identification of silkworm and mulberry germplasm.
  • Genetic purity testing systems to ensure the integrity of commercial hybrid seed.
  • Lateral Flow Assay (LFA) kits for rapid, field-level detection of pebrine and Cytoplasmic Polyhedrosis Virus (CPV) infections.
Genetic Resources Genetic Resources

Disease-Resistant Genetic Resources

  • Silkworm hybrids conferring tolerance to BmNPV (Bombyx mori Nucleopolyhedrovirus).
  • Introgression of Densonucleosis Virus (DNV) resistance into commercial hybrid lines.
Pest Management Biocontrol

Eco-Friendly Pest Management

  • A microbial formulation that dissolves the protective wax coating of mealybugs, enabling effective and sustainable field-level control.
Biomaterial Research Emerging Area

Biomaterial Research Focus

CSB-ISBR has expanded its research focus to sericulture-based biomaterials, with several technologies currently under development in this emerging domain, aimed at unlocking new value-added applications from silk and allied sericultural resources.

CSB-ISBR invites industry partners, entrepreneurs, and institutions interested in licensing, co-development, or field deployment of these technologies to connect directly with us.
