Introduction: Heat stress poses a significant environmental challenge, impacting plant growth, diminishing crop production, and reducing overall productivity. Plants employ various mechanisms to confront heat stress, and their ability to survive hinges on their capacity to perceive and activate appropriate physiological and biochemical responses. One such mechanism involves regulating multiple genes and coordinating their expression through different signaling pathways.

- Black root rot (BRR), caused by the fungus Lasiodiplodia theobromae, poses significant economic threats to mulberry farmers in India and China, highlighting the need for effective disease management.
- A study characterized 57 fungal isolates from diseased mulberry roots, revealing variations among 20 isolates and identifying one virulent isolate (MRR-142) through pathogenicity tests.
- The research identified a highly resistant mulberry accession (ME-0168) and eight other resistant accessions, suggesting potential candidates for breeding programs aimed at developing BRR-resistant mulberry varieties.
Aims: Root rot caused by a group of fungi is a serious disease in mulberry. This study aims to identify and characterize Rhizopus oryzae and other fungal species associated with root rot of mulberry in India.
Methods And Results: Rotted root samples were collected from the mulberry gardens from four states of Southern India.
