This study was conducted to determine the in vitro gas production (GP), organic matter digestibility (OMD), and energy values of ensiled white mulberry pomace (WMP), meadow grass (MG), mixtures two crops at three different ratios. The silages WMP/MG containing 100, 75, 50, 25, 0% WMP were evaluated by using ANKOMRF GP system. It observed that increasing levels enhanced GP. Whereas OMD value sil...

We sought to quantify changes in tree species composition, forest structure and aboveground forest biomass (AGB) over 76 years (1930-2006) in the deciduous Black Rock Forest in southeastern New York, USA. We used data from periodic forest inventories, published floras and a set of eight long-term plots, along with species-specific allometric equations to estimate AGB and carbon content. Between...

Many isoprenylated flavonoids have been isolated from Japanese mulberry tree (Moraceae). Among them, kuwanons G (1) and H (2) were the first isolated active substances exhibiting a hypotensive effect. These compounds are considered to be formed through an enzymatic Diels-Alder type reaction between an isoprenyl portion of an isoprenylphenol as the diene and an alpha, beta-double bond of chalcon...

Mulberry is an important cultivated plant that has received the attention of biologists interested in sericulture and plant-insect interaction. Morus notabilis, a wild mulberry species with a minimal chromosome number is an ideal material for whole-genome sequencing and assembly. The genome and transcriptome of M. notabilis were sequenced and analyzed. In this article, a web-based and open-acce...

In the present study, we identified chitinase genes in the genome of mulberry for the first time. The mulberry genome encodes 20 chitinase genes, which are grouped into two main families and organized into five classes. The genomic structures and phylogenetic relationships of mulberry chitinase genes were analyzed, which provided a genetic basis for understanding the functions of these genes. W...

Present experiments were conducted to determine the possibility of artificial culture with various sawdust of P. gilvus. The pH value was 6.0 of oak sawdust, 6.5 of mulberry sawdust, 6.6 of elm sawdust, 6.3 of acacia sawdust and 6.1 of apple tree sawdust. Mycelial density on elm sawdust and acacia sawdust were lower than those of oak sawdust, and apple sawdust. Weight of fresh fruiting body sho...

Morus alba L., also known as white mulberry or Mhon, has long been used in traditional medicines. This study was aimed to investigate anti-inflammatory activities of mulberry stem ethanolic extract (MSE) in lipopolysaccharide- (LPS-) stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophage cell line. The MSE was first prepared and then investigated for cell viability using the MTT assay. The anti-inflammatory activitie...

Introduction: Maclura pomifera, is small deciduous tree which commonly called as Osage orange. It typically grows about 8 to 15 meters tall. pomifera secrete white latex material sticky in nature on damaging. The common name of this plant not related with citrus fruit family “orange” belongs mulberry Moraceae. Method: extract leaves was prepared by using ethanol a solvent. major groups phytoche...
