Mulberry (Morus alba) is a significant plant with numerous economic benefits; however, its growth and development are affected by nutrient levels. A high level of magnesium (Mg) or starvation two the Mg factors affecting development. Nevertheless, M. alba's metabolic response to different concentrations unclear. In this study, concentrations, optimal (3 mmol/L), (6 mmol/L 9 low (1 2 mmol/L) deficient (0 were applied alba for three weeks evaluate their effects via physiological metabolomics...

Vegetative propagation of mulberry (Morus alba L.) via sapling methods, due to the ability exponentially multiply lateral buds on stem cuttings enhance rapid shoot formation, is crucial for sericulture industries. The sprouting using stubbles an emerging method and mass production leaves, but growth mechanisms associated with its use remain obscure. This study first report how differential stubble lengths from plants alter modulate phytohormones mechanisms. seeks evaluate by elucidating...

Mulberry (Morus alba L.), a significant fruit tree crop, requires magnesium (Mg) for its optimal growth and productivity. Nonetheless, our understanding of the molecular basis underlying stress tolerance in mulberry plants remains unexplored. In previous study, we identified several differential candidate genes associated with Mg homeostasis via transcriptome analysis, including xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolase (XTH) gene family. The XTH family is crucial plant cell wall...

Introduction Manganese (Mn) plays a pivotal role in plant growth and development. Aside aiding development, Mn as heavy metal (HM) can be toxic soil when applied excess. Morus alba is an economically significant plant, capable of adapting to range environmental conditions possessing the potential for phytoremediation contaminated by HMs. The mechanism which M. tolerates stresses remains obscure. Methods In this study, concentrations comprising sufficiency (0.15 mM), higher regimes (1.5 mM 3...

Abstract Drought stress has been a key environmental factor affecting plant growth and development. The genome is capable of producing long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). To better understand white mulberry ( Morus alba L.) drought response mechanism, we conducted comparative transcriptome study comparing two treatments: drought‐stressed (EG) well‐watered (CK) plants. A total 674 differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) were identified. In addition, 782 messenger (DEmRNAs) We Gene Ontology...

Phosphorus (P) is a major limiting factor for legume and symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF). Although overall adaptations of legumes to P supplementation have been extensively studied in connection with inorganic P, little information currently available regarding nodulation or SNF responses organic (Po) hydroponics. We investigated the mineral carbon metabolism Po-induced nodules two contrasting faba bean varieties grown hydroponically under (Pi), viz., P-deficient (2 µM KH2PO4, -Pi),...

Intersexual differentiation is crucial for the speciation and maintenance of dioecious plants, but underlying mechanisms, including genes involved, are still poorly understood. Here, we focused on a typical dioicous plant Morus alba, to explore molecular footprints relevant sex evolution by revealing differentially expressed (DEGs) between two sexes testing signals selection these DEGs. From results, found total 1543 Interestingly, 333 66 expression were detected only in male female...

Mulberry plants (Morus alba) have leaf shapes, ranging from unlobed to lobed, which are crucial for yield, growth, and adaptability, indicating their ability adapt environment. Competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) constitute a web of within the organism's transcriptional regulatory system, including protein-coding genes (mRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding (lncRNAs), circular (circRNAs), others. In this study, samples ceRNA sequencing were categorized into two groups: whole leaves...

Abstract Background The excessive use of inorganic P (Pi) in soils is alarming as it causing numerous environmental problems and may lead to the depletion rock phosphate reserves earlier than expected. Hence, limit over‐dependence on Pi, there need investigate organic phosphorus (Po), which dominant form soil pool, an alternate source for plant growth. Aim present study seeks efficiency eight varieties faba bean grown symbiotically. Methods plants were pots (6 kg soil) under greenhouse...
