Mean ± sd (standard deviation) of 6 SGFs obtained from different caterpillars of each B. mori silkworm races studied; * The SGFs 5 and 6 were produced from the same Italian polyhybrid breed (79 × 719) × (126 × 125) provided for Silvia Capelozza, CRA-API Unità di Ricerca di Apibachicoltura, in Padova (Italy), but differ in thickness; § The SGFs 5 and 5H were produced from the same Italian polyhybrid (79 × 719) × (126 × 125) but differ in water content (5H were immersed in water at least 24 h prior to the measurements). †
