Mulberry (Morus spp.) is the cornerstone of sericulture, as its leaves are the primary feed for silkworms (Bombyx mori L.). Efficient and rapid propagation of mulberry plants is essential to meet the ever-growing demand for high-quality mulberry leaves in sericulture. Mini clonal technology, which allows for mass propagation of genetically identical and disease-free plants has gained prominence in the mulberry industry. The age of the planting material, specifically the age of the source plant from which cuttings are taken is a critical factor influencing the success rate of rooting and the survival of propagated mini clones. This article explores how the age of the planting material affects the physiological, biochemical and morphological properties of mulberry mini clones and consequently, their survivability. A detailed understanding of this influence is essential for optimizing propagation protocols thereby ensuring higher survival rates and improving the overall efficiency of mulberry production.
