AI Article Synopsis
- Researchers isolated and identified 10 compounds from the stem of Morus notabilis, focusing on 2-arylbenzofurans.
- Two new compounds were discovered during this investigation: (1) a dihydro-bibenzofuran-6,4'-diol and (2) a methoxyphenyl-benzofuran.
- Moracins O and P were found to effectively inhibit mushroom tyrosinase, outperforming kojic acid in potency (IC₅₀ values).
Article Abstract
Phytochemical investigation of the stem of Morus notabilis led to the isolation and characterization of 10 compounds of 2-arylbenzofurans (1-10), including two new compounds, (2'R)-2',3'-dihydro-2'-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-2,6'-bibenzofuran-6,4'-diol (1) and 5,6-dimethoxy-2-(3-hydroxy-5-methoxyphenyl)benzofuran (2). Moracins O (6) and P (10) showed inhibitory effects on mushroom tyrosinase with IC₅₀ values being lower than that of kojic acid.

The R2R3-MYB transcription factor (TF) family is crucial for regulating plant growth, stress response, and fruit ripening. Although this TF family has been examined in a multitude of plants, the R2R3-MYB TFs in Ficus carica, a Mediterranean fruit species, have yet to be characterized. This study identified and classified 63 R2R3-MYB genes (FcMYB1 to FcMYB63) in the F.

Genome-wide identification revealed 79 BpNAC genes belonging to 16 subfamilies, and their gene structures and evolutionary relationships were characterized. Expression analysis highlighted their importance in plant selenium stress responses. Paper mulberry (Broussonetia papyrifera), a deciduous arboreal plant of the Moraceae family, is distinguished by its leaves, which are abundant in proteins, polysaccharides, and flavonoids, positioning it as a novel feedstock.

Mulberries (genus Morus), belonging to the order Rosales, family Moraceae, are important woody plants due to their economic values in sericulture, as well as for nutritional benefits and medicinal values. However, the taxonomy and phylogeny of Morus, especially for the Asian species, remains challenging due to its wide geographical distribution, morphological plasticity, and interspecific hybridization. To better understand the evolutionary history of Morus, we combined plastomes and a large-scale nuclear gene analyses to investigate their phylogenetic relationships.

Introduction: The mulberry industry has thrived in China for millennia, offering significant ecological and economic benefits. However, the prevalence of mulberry ring rot disease poses a serious threat to the quality and yield of mulberry leaves.
Methods: In this study, we employed a combination of transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses to elucidate the changes occurring at the transcriptional and metabolic levels in in response to this disease infestation.
