Over the past few decades, the field of genomics has made significant strides in understanding the molecular basis of plant growth and development, and mulberry (Morus spp.) is no exception. Mulberry is a highly valued plant in sericulture due to its nutritional and medicinal properties. With the help of genomics, researchers are uncovering new ways to improve mulberry productivity and quality. One of the key advancements in mulberry genomics has been the identification and characterization of genes involved in key metabolic pathways. By studying these pathways, researchers have gained insights into the molecular mechanisms that regulate mulberry growth and development, and have identified potential targets for genetic improvement. With the advent of high-throughput sequencing technologies, it is now possible to rapidly sequence the entire genome of a plant and identify genetic markers that are associated with desirable traits. By using these markers, breeders can select for specific traits with greater precision and efficiency. Overall, the emergence of genomics in mulberry research holds great promise for improving productivity and quality for such important plant. By continuing to uncover the molecular mechanisms that regulate mulberry growth and using these insights to guide breeding efforts, researchers can ensure a more sustainable and productive future for sericulture.

“…This is attributed to the fact that it not only can fully respond to the rapid Forests 2024, 15, 697 2 of 18 construction and development requirements of mulberry production but also can maintain the good traits of the mother plant while avoiding degradation and producing better seed stocks faster [8][9][10]. In each stage of cutting propagation, how to improve the stress resistance of cutting roots is an urgent problem to be solved at present [11]. Furthermore, the survival rate of cuttings directly affects their overall quality, and there is a growing imperative to breed high-yielding and stress-resistant M. notabilis clones, facilitating their adaption to marginal land development and utilization.…”

The AP2/ERF gene family, referring to an exclusive class of transcription factors unique to plants, is involved in various biological processes, including plant growth and responses to environmental stresses like high salt and drought. In this study, the AP2/ERF gene in M. notabilis was comprehensively identified and bioinformatically analyzed based on the genomic data of M. notabilis. 106 members in the MnAP2/ERF gene family were identified in the M. notabilis genome and were categorized into five subfamilies: ERF, AP2, DREB, RAV, and Soloist, with the ERF subfamily representing 80.19% of the total. The MnAP2/ERF gene family was observed to be distributed on six chromosomes of M. notabilis. Members in the MnAP2/ERF gene family exhibited obvious differences in amino acid number, molecular weight, isoelectric point, and other properties. Approximately 68.87% of the MnAP2/ERF proteins were acidic, all exhibiting hydrophilic characteristics. Differences in conserved sequences and arrangement of AP2 domains were observed among distinct subfamilies, with genes in the same subfamily sharing similar conserved domain compositions. There were 47 genes without untranslated regions and 44 genes with two untranslated regions. The upstream functions of promoters were concentrated on light reactions and plant hormones. Evolutionarily, significant structural differences were identified, and 28 MnAP2/ERF gene family proteins could interact with each other. Moreover, 35 family genes were involved in 22 fragment repeat events, and 55 MnAP2/ERF and 84 AtAP2/ERF genes showed collinearity. The expression of the MnAP2/ERF gene family was significantly different in different parts, indicating that these gene family members were involved in different physiological activities. These results established a theoretical foundation for investigating the functional and evolutionary aspects of AP2/ERF gene family genes in M. notabilis, as well as exploring the root morphogenesis of M. notabilis. Additionally, this study contributes to a basis for the improvement of cultivar stress resistance of M. notabilis.
