properties and is used for makingjam, wine, and other food products.As the genus Morus has been domesticated
over thousands of years and constantly been subjected to heterosis breeding (mainly for improvingl eaf yield),itis
possibleto hybridizebreeds suitablefor berry production, thus offering possibleindustrial useof mulberry as a
