The yellow dwarf disease associated with phytoplasmas is one of the most devastating diseases of mulberry and the pathogenesis involved in the disease is poorly understood. To analyze the molecular mechanisms mediating gene expression in mulberry-phytoplasma interaction, the comprehensive sRNA changes of mulberry leaf in response to phytoplasma-infection were examined. A total of 164 conserved ...

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...

in mulberry (morus sp.), grown for its foliage, which is the sole food for the silkworm (bombyx mori l.), evolving high yielding varieties is a long drawn and laborious process. one of the important selection parameter that has significant positive correlation with leaf yield is total shoot length [tsl] of the mulberry plant. measuring the length of all the shoots of the test genotypes to get t...

In the Mediterranean basin, agriculture and other forms of human land use have shaped environment since ancient times. Intensive extensive agricultural systems managed with a few cultured plant populations improved varieties are widespread reality in many countries. Despite this, historical cultural landscapes still exist interior less intensively rural areas. There, fruit tree survived modern ...

in mulberry orchards in northern part of iran, thrips is a dominant pest and causing a lot of damage to the mulberry. the effect of pest on bio-chemical parameters of mulberry leaf of two varieties viz. kenmochi and ichenoise and also the effect of feeding of infested leaves on rearing performances have been studied. for the study, six plots of 200 m2 area of both the varieties were selected an...

Bacterial leaf scorch, associated with the bacterial pathogen Xylella fastidiosa, is a widely established and problematic disease of landscape ornamentals in Washington D.C. A multi-locus sequence typing analysis was performed using 10 housekeeping loci for X. fastidiosa strains in order to better understand the epidemiology of leaf scorch disease in this municipal environment. Samples were col...

OBJECTIVE To explore and discuss the effects and mechanisms of mulberry leaf polysaccharide (MLP) on oxidative stress in pancreatic β-cells of type 2 diabetic rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS The model of diabetic rats was established by inducing the Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats with high-sugar and high-fat diet for 6 weeks and then giving them streptozotocin (STZ) by single intraperitoneal injection....

This study aimed to explore the effects of different concentrations indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), indole-3-butyric (IBA), and indene-naphthaleneacetic (ABT-1) on rooting dynamic changes endogenous hormone content Australian Mulberry (vegetable Mulberry) Kirin mulberry (Fruit hardwood cuttings. As exhibited by results, process both vegetable fruit could be divided into three stages, namely initiat...

In the present work, the fresh juice of black mulberry (Morus nigra) was tested for antimicrobial activity against various pathogenic microorganisms. Total antioxidant contents, total phenolic contents, total anthocyanins, trace minerals, total acid contents, total solids and ascorbic acid content were also evaluated. The results showed good antimicrobial activity both for Grampositive and Gram...
