Mulberry (Morus spp.) is an important horticultural plant in the
sericulture industry. It belongs to the family Moraceae. The leaf
of mulberry is used to feed the silkworm Bombyx mori L. It is also
used as a fodder. Due to its economic and agricultural importance,
mulberry is cultivated in many parts of the world. An estimated 60%
of the total cost of silk cocoon production is for production and
maintenance of mulberry plants. Therefore, much attention is needed
to improve the quality and quantity of mulberry leaves. It is vital
to increase the production of superior quality mulberry leaves with
high nutritive value for the sericulture industry. Although a lot
of research is going on in mulberry, very little effort has been
made to compile the results of this research in a single book. This
book provides an update of recent research works going on in this
plant. It describes the taxonomy, conservation of germplasm,
genetic diversity of various mulberry species, application of
breeding techniques to improve the quality of mulberry, in vitro
conservation, application of tissue culture techniques to improve
mulberry species, production of haploids and triploids in mulberry
and improvement of abiotic stress adaptive traits in mulberry with
relevance to adaptiveness to global warming.
