The impact of boron nutrient supply in mulberry (Morus alba) response to metabolomics, enzyme activities, and physiological parameters

“…The findings of this study indicate that the buildup of amino acids serves to regulate membrane homeostasis, facilitate osmotic adjustment, and improve stress tolerance , as it was observed in PRO content in the Mn stressed plants compared to the sufficiency group (Figure 4C). Earlier reports suggested that M. alba plants subjected to other nutritional stress (boron and magnesium) accumulated higher PRO content (Jin et al, 2023;Zhang Q. et al, 2023). Our current result agrees with an earlier report that high Mn level in Broussonetia papyrifera (paper mulberry) increased PRO (Huang et al, 2019).…”

“…In our study, 1-stearoyl-2-hydroxy-sn-glycero-3phosphoethanolamine was upregulated and exclusive to T0 group whereas 1-Palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, and beta.glycerophosphate were downregulated and exclusive to Mntreated plants T1 and T2 or T3 (Supplementary Table S7). The changes in expression levels of these compounds in response to various levels of Mn treatments further highlights the complex metabolic response in M. alba nutrient stress response (Jin et al, 2023;Zhang Q. et al, 2023).…”

“…M. alba plant has the potential to remediate contaminated soil including cadmium (Cd), making it a useful tool for phytoremediation (Lei et al, 2019). However, its growth and development have been hindered by nutrient deficiency and toxicity (Tewari et al, 2013;Jin et al, 2023;Zhang Q. et al, 2023). Notable among these nutrients are micronutrients such as iron (Fe), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), boron (B), and Mn (Tewari et al, 2013;Zhang Q. et al, 2023).…”

Notable among these nutrients are micronutrients such as iron (Fe), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), boron (B), and Mn (Tewari et al, 2013;Zhang Q. et al, 2023). However, our comprehension of Mn deficiency and toxicity in M. alba has only been elucidated via physiological and biochemical means (Tewari et al, 2013).…”

Metabolomics and physio-chemical analyses of mulberry plants leaves response to manganese deficiency and toxicity reveal key metabolites and their pathways in manganese tolerance

“…The M. alba seedlings growth experiment was conducted within a controlled greenhouse environment, with seedlings cultivated in vermiculite. Methods outlined by Zhang Q. et al (2023) were utilized in the cultivation of M. alba seedlings. To begin with the Mn treatments, fifteen Yu-711 seedlings in growth pot with vermiculite (without Mn nutrient supply) and having consistent growth conditions were chosen and divided into five groups.…”
