Background & Aim: Applications of synthetic antioxidant in food have side effects. In present study, the antioxidant potential of Morus alba leaves, as natural antioxidant, was screened with cupric ion reducing assay (CUPRAC assay) and inhibition of lipid peroxidation. The aim of this study was to determine the total antioxidant activity of Morus alba leaves. Martial & Method...

Ten universal primer pairs of the plant chloroplast genome were used to amplify the chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) non-coding regions in eight mulberry (Morus spp.) genotypes, including M. mongolica, M. bombycis, M. alba, M. atropurpurea and M. multicaulis. Subsequently, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products were digested by seven restriction enzymes and the trnD-trnT fragment for sequence alig...

The study was designed to evaluate the cardioprotective effect of methanolic extract of Morus alba L. leaves against isoprenalineinduced myocardial infarction and was investigated by an in vivo method in rats. Male Wistar albino rats were divided into four groups (n=6). Group I rats served as normal control. Group II rats served as isoprenaline induced toxic control (110 mg/kg body weight) whic...

Genus Morus includes more than 20 species, some of which are commercially important mulberries with different utilities. Even though these species propagated by rooting cuttings in practice, mulberry seeds importance for breeding studies and rootstock seedling propagation. For that reason, this study was conducted to know the seed performance germination emergence traits four varieties viz, V1,...

phagous and certain omnivorous species obtain their essential C27 sterols through dealkylation of dietary C28 and C29 phytosterols. The mechanism of this dealkylation reaction in insects is an important but little understood biochemical problem. In the silkworm Bombyx mori, ƒÀ-sitosterol, which is the principal sterol in its diet, Morus (mulberry) leaves, is converted into cholesterol,1) but no...

Biotic stresses are major constraints limiting the leaf quality and productivity of mulberry. MLX56 is a unique chitin-binding protein isolated from Shin-Ichinose (Morus alba) latex that displays toxicity against lepidopteran caterpillars. In this study, the full-length cDNA encoding MLX56 was isolated from Husang 32 (M. multicaulis) and designated HMLX56. Amino acid sequence analysis and prote...
