in this study, cercospora sp.on olea europaea and pseudocercospora mori on morus alba are being recorded from iran. moreover, new reports were provided for cercospora apii s.l. (including c. canescens,c. citrullina, c. morina, c. sonchi, c. cruciferarumand c. helianthicola), and pseudocercospora rubi. also, helianthus sp., morus alba,raphanus sp. and taraxacum sp. are reported as new hosts forc...

This paper describes two new species of Eriophyoidea associated with trees belonging to the order Rosales in the south-western portion of East Azerbaijan province, Iran, collected during a survey in 2011: Aceria lobolinguae n. sp. on Elaeagnus angustifolia L. (Elaeagnaceae) and Rhinophytoptus nemalobos n. sp. on Prunus domestica L. (Rosaceae). Additionally, Phyllocoptes abaenus Keifer on Prunus...

The present study was carried out to find out the antimicrobial activity of aqueous, acetone and ethyl acetate extract of Morus nigra and Citrus limon. Antimicrobial analysis was done by using agar well diffusion method against bacterial pathogens. Ethyl acetate extract of Morus nigra exhibited the maximum zone of inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus, while ethyl acetate extract of Citrus l...

Genes from the plant specific Lateral Organ Boundaries Domain (LBD) family encode transcriptional regulators that have a variety of functions in various physiological and developmental processes. In the present study, 31 LBD genes were identified in the mulberry genome. The genome features of all MnLBD genes and phylogenetic studies with Arabidopsis LBD protein sequences, accompanied by the exp...

Abstract Mulberry is a fundamental component of the global sericulture industry, and its positive impact on our health environment cannot be overstated. However, mulberry reference genomes reported previously remained unassembled or unplaced sequences. Here, we report assembly analysis telomere-to-telomere gap-free genome species, Morus notabilis, which has emerged as an important in gene funct...

Morus alba L. has been used in traditional Chinese medicine and almost all parts of this plant are useful in cardiovascular, liver and spleen disorders. The present study was designed to investigate the inhibitory effect of a water extract from Morus alba L. (WMA) on vascular dysfunction in rat models fed a high fat and high cholesterol diet. Male rats were fed an atherogenic diet consisting of...

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of methanolic extracts of Murraya koenigii Spreng. (Curry leaf) and Morus alba Linn. (Mulberry leaf) on the age of attainment of puberty, relative ovary and uterus weight and the number of ovarian surface follicles in female Wistar albino rats. The rats were reared from 20 to 70 days of age in six groups consisting of eight rats in each group....
