Recently, Japanese silk researchers successfully developed green spit with pgenic technology.

Fluorescent filament

Silkworms with pink fluorescent rays.

Japanese silk researchers believe that this kind of silk is very helpful for the development of fashion and decoration market.

Silkworm can be implanted into the silkworm's jellyfish fluorescent protein gene. Silkworms can spit out light green silk in natural light.

The fluorescent protein gene will spit pink silk in natural light.

The pgenic technology was developed by the Japanese Institute of agricultural biological resources and the silk technology center of GWU Ma county.

Japanese silk researchers have selected pgenic silkworm eggs that can be put into production.

In addition, they improved the method of silk reeling.

In the past, the method of cocoon boiling with hot water will destroy fluorescent protein. Their new method is to add drugs at temperatures below 60 degrees Celsius and boil cocoons in vacuum cooker. This method does not destroy fluorescent protein.

Now the Japanese government has put this technology into factory production. I believe we can see silk with green fluorescent or pink fluorescent yarn.
