Qin C., Li Y., Niu W., Ding Y., Zhang R., Shang X. (2010): Analysis and characterisation of anthocyanins in mulberry fruit. Czech J. Food Sci., 28: 117–126. The fruit of mulberry (Morus alba L., Moraceae) has been used as medicinal food in China for a long history. The pigment from the fruit extract is a kind of natural colourant for food processing and has potential medical and commercial valu...

BACKGROUND The olfactory system plays an important role in the recognition of leaf volatiles during the search of folivore insects for a suitable plant host. For example, volatiles emitted by mulberry leaves trigger chemotaxis behavior in the silkworms Bombyx mori, and as a consequence, they preferentially reside on and consume mulberry leaves. Here, we aimed to identify natural chemoattractant...

Mulberry leaves have commonly been utilized in China as a herbal medicine for the treatment of diabetes for thousands of years. To evaluate the quality, an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF/MS) method was developed for identification of polyhydroxylated alkaloids with α-glucosidase inhibitor activity in mulberry lea...

Diabetes is caused by excessive accumulation of glucose in human blood. The disease is hereditary, but can also be affected by the environment. At present, there are many limitations in the development of single-target drug therapy for the treatment of diabetes. Chinese herbal medicine has long been used for diabetes treatment as well as many other diseases in East Asia. Clinical practice has d...

To study the generation of the semantic tree of Chinese sentence in Chinese-English Machine translation (MT), a new semantic-analysis model of Chinese multiplebranched and multiple-labeled tree (MMT) based on the hierarchical network of concepts (HNC) is proposed. Supported by word and rule knowledge-base of HNC, the model executed the semantic analysis using static and dynamic labels as a comp...

The modern sequencing technologies are generating large volumes of information at the transcriptome and genome level. Translation of this information into a biological meaning is far behind the race due to which a significant portion of proteins discovered remain as proteins of unknown function (PUFs). Attempts to uncover the functional significance of PUFs are limited due to lack of easy and h...

Mulberry, belonging to the order Rosales, family Moraceae, and genus Morus, has received attention because of both its economic and medicinal value, as well as for its important ecological function. The genus Morus has a worldwide distribution, however, its taxonomy remains complex and disputed. Many studies have attempted to classify Morus species, resulting in varied numbers of designated Mor...

case report: recently a 20-day-old layer flock with mortality has been submitted to the pcr lab. infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) has been detected in the clinical samples. results: a phylogenetic tree based on a partial s1 gene sequence showed iranian ibv variant located in lx4-type cluster. this cluster include all qxibv-type detected in china and european countries. the highest sequence hom...
