    Response Mechanisms to Flooding Stress in Mulberry Revealed by Multi-Omics Analysis

    Jingtao Hu1, Wenjing Chen1, Yanyan Duan1, Yingjing Ru1, Wenqing Cao1, Pingwei Xiang2, Chengzhi Huang2, Li Zhang2, Jingsheng Chen1, Liping Gan1,*

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.93, No.2, pp. 227-245, 2024, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2024.046521

    Abstract Abiotic stress, including flooding, seriously affects the normal growth and development of plants. Mulberry (Morus alba), a species known for its flood resistance, is cultivated worldwide for economic purposes. The transcriptomic analysis has identified numerous differentially expressed genes (DEGs) involved in submergence tolerance in mulberry plants. However, a comprehensive analyses of metabolite types and changes under flooding stress in mulberry remain unreported. A non-targeted metabolomic analysis utilizing liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was conducted to further investigate the effects of flooding stress on mulberry. A total of 1,169 metabolites were identified, with 331 differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs) exhibiting up-regulation in… More >

    Transcriptome Profiling of the Salt-Stress Response in Paper Mulberry

    Jie Zhang1, Yingwei Zhao2, Hongying Li3, Jianwei Ni4,*, Dongmei Wang1,*

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.92, No.9, pp. 2591-2610, 2023, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2023.028338

    Abstract Paper mulberry is a high-quality woody feed resource plant with high crude protein content. It is widely distributed in China and has excellent characteristics of salt and alkali tolerance. Paper mulberry has ecological and economic importance. Salt stress has become a critical factor with the increasing degree of soil salinity that restricts plant growth. In the saline-alkali environments, transcriptome expression is altered leading to phenotypic defects in most plants. However, the regulatory mechanism related to paper mulberry’s salt-stress (SS) response is not clearly understood. In the present study de novo transcriptomic assembly was performed, and gene expression levels were measured… More >

    Potential of Thai Bast Fibers for Injection Molded PLA Composites

    Nina Graupner1,*, Thiprada Poonsawat2, Koranat Narkpiban3,4, Jörg Müssig1

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.11, No.5, pp. 2279-2300, 2023, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2023.025529

    Abstract Thailand has a huge variability of bast fiber plants, some of which have been little researched regarding their applicability in composites. Bast fiber(bundle)s from different species were investigated and incorporated into a polylactide (PLA) matrix by injection molding. Hemp and kenaf were used as well-studied fibers, while roselle, Fryxell and paper mulberry are less extensively characterized. Tensile strength, tensile modulus and interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of single fiber(bundle)s were highest for hemp, followed by kenaf, roselle, Fryxell and paper mulberry. Despite the lower tensile strength and IFSS of paper mulberry, the highest tensile strength was achieved for the paper mulberry/PLA… More > Graphic Abstract

    Abstract HMA2 (heavy metal ATPase 2) plays a crucial role in extracellular and intracellular Zn2+ transport across biomembranes, maintaining ion homeostasis, and playing an important role in the normal physiological metabolism, growth, and development of plants. In our study, a novel HMA2 gene, named MaHMA2, was isolated and cloned from white mulberry (Morus alba L.). The gene sequence obtained was 1,342 bp long, with an open reading frame of 1,194 bp, encoding a protein of 397 amino acids, with a predicted molecular mass of 42.852 kD and an isoelectric point of 7.53. This protein belonged to the PIB-type ATPase transport protein… More >

    Field Application of Mulberry Straw Arch in Ecological Bank Revetment

    Xiaojuan Yu1, Chao Liu1,*, Quan Hua2, Xiaohui Wang2, Yongbin Li1

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.10, No.10, pp. 2607-2621, 2022, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2022.019091

    Abstract With the growing level of awareness and increasing demand for environmental protection, timber pile revetments with significant ecological effects have experienced increasingly wide application in China. The current timber pile revetment system has two problems: continuous dense piles have high construction costs and require large timber consumptions, while the discrete pile-bamboo fence systems have poor retaining effects. Considering these problems, an original revetment structure form is proposed: a discrete pile-mulberry straw arch structure. To investigate the mechanical properties of the mulberry straw, some mechanical tests are conducted on mulberry straw and its arch structure. It is found that the average… More > Graphic Abstract

    Abstract A variety of plants were colchicine treated to double their chromosome number. Chromosomes are genetic carriers that determine the individual traits of organisms. The doubling of chromosomes will lead to modifications in plant morphology, physiology and genetics. To determine the response of mulberry trees induced by colchicine, using mulberry variety Yu-711 leaves as research materials, two small RNA libraries (control and experimental groups) were constructed. It was found that 45 known miRNA genes and 78 predicted novel miRNA genes in the sequence results. A comparison of data between the control group and the experimental group revealed 37 differentially expressed miRNA… More >
