Sex Distribution of Paper Mulberry (Broussonetia papyrifera) in the Pacific

BACKGROUND Paper mulberry (Broussonetia papyrifera (L.) L'Hér. ex Vent) is a dioecious tree native to East Asia and mainland Southeast-Asia, introduced prehistorically to Polynesia as a source of bark fiber by Austronesian-speaking voyagers. In Oceania, trees are coppiced and harvested for production of bark-cloth, so flowering is generally unknown. A survey of botanical records of paper mulber...

Broussonetia papyrifera (BP), known as paper mulberry, is a dioecious, deciduous and perennial tree or shrub occurring naturally in Asia and Pacific countries such as China, Thailand and USA [1, 2], which is characterised by a higher growth rate and a greater adaptability to adverse environments [3]. It has been cultivated extensively in East, Central and South Asia for papermaking, silk and ti...

Overexpression of AtNHX5 improves tolerance to both salt and drought stress in Broussonetia papyrifera (L.) Vent.

Paper mulberry (Broussonetia papyrifera L. Vent) is well known for its bark fibers, which are used for making paper, cloth, rope, etc. It was found that, in addition to its well-documented role in the enhancement of plant salt tolerance, overexpression of the Na+/H+ antiporter (AtNHX5) gene in paper mulberry plants showed high drought tolerance. After exposure to water deficiency and salt stres...

Characterization of microsatellite markers for Broussonetia papyrifera (Moraceae)1

PREMISE OF THE STUDY Broussonetia papyrifera (Moraceae) is native to Asia and is used as a medicinal plant and as a source of fiber for making paper. It was dispersed into the Pacific region as a fiber source for making nonwoven textiles (barkcloth). Microsatellites were developed to trace the human-mediated dispersal of this species into the Pacific region. METHODS AND RESULTS A set of 36 mi...
