20.500.12556/DKUM-100391 Analysis of total phenolic contents in the bark of different mulberry varieties (Morus sp.) Analiza vsebnosti skupnih fenolov v skorji različnih genotipov murv (Morus sp.) Mulberry (Morus sp.) trees are renowned for their rich profile of bioactive compounds, particularly phenolics, which vary among tissues and genotypes. This study investigated the total phenol contents in the bark of one-year-old shoots of different mulberry species and genotypes. In addition, the article compares total phenolic contents between bark and leaves. The study included reference sericultural cultivars of M. alba and M. indica, two local Slovenian white mulberry genotypes, and a hybrid between white and red mulberry (M. alba × M. rubra). One-year-old shoots were sampled during the winter dormancy period, after which the bark was peeled, lyophilised, and ground into a fine powder. The total phenolic contents were analysed using the Folin-Ciocalteu method. The results showed significant differences in total phenolic content among species and genotypes.The highest content was observed in the M. alba × M. rubra hybrid [5.14 ± 0.01 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE) g-1 dry weight (DW)], and the lowest in the sericultural cultivar 'Kokusou' (4.60 ± 0.08 mg GAE/g-1 DW). The comparison between bark and leaves showed that total phenolic concentrations were lower in the bark than in the leaves. The results indicate that both genetic background and plant tissue type influence phenolic compound levels, underscoring the need to consider these factors in future studies on bioactive compounds in mulberries. mulberry shoots chemotypic differences secondary phloem leaves bioactive compounds poganjki murve kemotipske razlike sekundarni floem listi bioaktivne spojine true true true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2026-09-16 10:27:40 2026-09-16 10:27:40 2026-09-17 03:10:57 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 str. 9-16 No. 1 Vol. 23 2026 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2026-07-15 581:638.232 285536771 10.18690/agricsci.23.1.2 2820-610X https://journals.um.si/index.php/agricultura/sl/article/view/6243 1 7de7523d-b1a8-11f1-b05b-00155d0001be https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=212568 2+Vuk+et+al.+kon_(2).pdf 2+Vuk+et+al.+kon_(2).pdf 1 5CDCE6460616CBEF8F2E1A8FE0F3AFA3 e472f468ee80620b82c10af3e8a6d17965f8829b5feb1633a10ebe183686ab35 1a4d8fd2-b1a9-11f1-b05b-00155d0001be https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=212569 Fakulteta za kmetijstvo in biosistemske vede Agricultura scientia 0 0 0
