This volume discusses the impacts of climate change on sericulture in India, which was the world's second-largest producer of raw silk in 2022–2023, with mulberries accounting for 75.59% (27,654 MT) of total production. Covered are the challenges, threats, and opportunities for how to make mulberry silk production more climate-resilient and sustainable, while accounting for a broad range of influences including biodiversity, eco-physiology, crop management, mulberry cultivation, silkworm breeding, genomics, and issues resulting from pest and disease. The book is primarily meant for students studying sericultural science, and will also be of interest to researchers focusing on seri-biotechnology and molecular sericulture.
