introduction: morus alba, known as white mulberry, is a short-lived, fast-growing and small to medium sized mulberry tree, which grows to 10–20 meters tall. the species is native to northern china, and is widely cultivated and naturalized elsewhere. the fruit is 1–2.5 cm long in the species in the wild, it is deep purple, but in many cultivated plants it varies from white to pink, being sweet a...

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...

D1 protein in the PSII reaction center is the major target of photodamage, and it exhibits the highest turnover rate among all the thylakoid proteins. In this paper, rice psf (premature senescence of flag leaves) mutant and its wild type were used to investigate the genotype-dependent alteration in PSII photo-damage and D1 protein turnover during leaf senescence and its relation to ABA accumula...

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...

“broussonetia papyrifera” (chinese mulberry) pollen is an important source of allergens in regions surrounding shanghai, china. to identify and purify major allergens from “b. papyrifera” pollen that reacted with serum antibodies from sensitized patients, “b. papyrifera” pollen was defatted, dried, and extracted proteins were separated using sp cationic exchange or q anionic exchange columns. s...

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...

We analyzed the anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive activities of total flavonoids (TF) found in black mulberry fruits. The TF content was 20.9 mg/g (dry weight). Two anthocyanins, cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (8.3 mg/g) and cyanidin-3-O-rutinoside (2.9 mg/g), were identified in the fruits by UPLC. The TF of black mulberry fruits had significant reducing power and radical (OH(-), O2(·-), DPPH and A...

The oligosaccharide 3-deoxy-d-manno-oct-2-ulosonic acid (Kdo) is a key component of lipopolysaccharide in Gram-negative bacteria, and is also part of the pectic polysaccharide rhamnogalacturonan (RG-II) of the plant cell wall. The enzyme KDO-8-phosphate synthase (KDO8Ps), encoded by the 2-dehydro-3-deoxyphosphooctonate aldolase (KdsA) gene, catalyzes the first step in the synthesis of Kdo. In t...

The aim of the study was to induce B deficiency symptoms and to relate the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and altered cellular redox environment with the effects of B deficiency in mulberry (Morus alba L.) cv. Kanva-2 plants. Study was undertaken on antioxidant responses, malondialdehyde (MDA) content as an indicator of oxidative damage and ratio of dehydroascorbate (DHA) to ascorb...
