“…Fruit weight was in the range of 0.5 g to 1.52 g in the four mulberry varieties in which G4 recorded highest fruit weight of 1.52 g followed by MR2 (1.10g), G2 (0.713) which was on par with each other and S36 (0.5g) (Table 2) was the least recorded. In different studies, the fruit weight was reported as similar as our results such as 0.56 g (Jalikop et al, 2011) [9] , 0.66 g (Yilmaz et al, 2012) [17] , 1.091 g (Boubaya et al, 2009) [3] .…”

The present study was carried out to characterize the mulberry fruit yielding varieties (G4, MR2, G2 and S36) by its morphological characters and analyze antibacterial activity of fruit extracts of G4 and MR2. Among the morphological characters, fruit colour ranged from purple, deep purple, red and dark red. Similarly, fruit weight ranged from 0.5 to 1.52g in which G4 recorded highest fruit weight of 1.52 g followed by MR2 (1.10g), G2 (0.713 g) and S36 (0.5g). Based on the availability of the fruit quantum G4 and MR2 was selected for antibacterial activity against the human bacterial pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus ATCC11632, Streptococcus pneumonia ATCC6301 and Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC12228. Among the different concentrations (20, 40, 60, 80, 100 µl) of mulberry fruit extracts, 100 µl exhibited highest zone of inhibition of 17.0±1.25 to 20.0±0.81 mm which showed antibacterial response against bacterial pathogens. G4 fruit extract showed highest antibacterial activity against S. aureus with inhibition of 19.0±0.49 mm. Similarly, MR2 fruit extract showed highest antibacterial activity against S. epidermidis with inhibition of 20.0±0.73 mm. The present findings indicated that mulberry fruit extracts have medicinal choice for the development of alternative antimicrobial drug without any side effects as seen in chemical drugs.

“…For centuries, its leaves have been used as a herbal remedy (raw material); it also provides tasty, valued fruit and is one of the fruit tree species traditionally used for planting along roads, streets or in parks in Poland. The berries are a valuable food source for many native bird species, which contribute to the spread of propagules over long distances by shedding seeds along with their faeces [ 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ]. White mulberry is a kenophyte (synanthropic species of foreign origin, whether introduced after the 15th century) within the Polish flora [ 45 ].…”

The selection of species which show the highest possible tolerance to negative habitat conditions, also among plants of foreign origin, is a pressing issue. One of the species we would like to recommend for planting in urban areas is the white mulberry species (Morus alba) due to both its outstanding adaptability and its ecosystem services. There are no reliable studies on the distribution of this species in urbanized areas in Poland, nor sufficient analyses of the methods of its renewal, both deliberate and spontaneous spread through self-seeding. Collecting data on the population of an alien species within individual regions and forecasting potential changes in the population’s size and structure, as well as its possible impacts on other organisms, is one of the basic measures to reduce biological invasions, which is one of the six priority objectives of the European Biodiversity Strategy and an element of the Strategy on Invasive Alien Species. The aim of this study was to determine the size and structure of the white mulberry population in the city of Wrocław and to analyse the relationship between this structure and intensity of anthropopressure and thermal conditions.

Mulberry is a fast growing hardy perennial woody plant belonging to the genus Morus of the family Moraceae. There are more than 60 species of the genus Morus found in the subtropical, tropical and temperate regions of Asia, Africa and North America. Cultivation of mulberry is highly economical since the leaf produced by mulberry is extensively used for feeding the silkworm, Bombyx mori for silk production. Mulberry possessing valuable nutritional and phytochemical constituents can serve as highly nutritious food for human with high therapeutic values. Mulberry fruit is rich in carbohydrate, protein and dietary fiber and an important foodstuff for the preparation of several value added items like jams, jellies, wines and syrups. Mulberry leaf has been identified as an excellent resource for the development of protein rich food products with natural antioxidant. Extracts of leaf, stem, twig, root and bark of mulberry are reported to have potential antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-hyperglycaemic, anticancer and anti-tyrosinase inhibition activity. Though mulberry is grown commercially in many countries for sericulture, its potential to be utilized as food for human consumption is not well recognized. The paper reviews the importance of mulberry as a valuable resource for various food, cosmetic, beverage and pharmaceutical industries.
